Un-F-ing believeable

One would think that Our Dumbass coach wld give some help on Peppers. A few times had Chester Taylor help out. It's not that hard, put a TE over there to help out. Peppers was in Farves face all night long. Now the 4 or 5 dropped passes and ALL the missed tackles were not Chillys fault. Also, why in the HELL are we punting with 8 mins to go in the game and we are 12 points down ? 1st half conservative play calling was typical on the road Chilly play calling. At least we tried to open up play calling in 2nd half, which Peppers put a halt to most of that...

McKinnie left the game at some point

I haven’t heard why yet. I hope he’s OK.

I agree with your post. This game called for more pass protection and it wasn’t called.

I think he was told to ride the pine.

I BELIEVE...

Yep. McKinnie was benched. Peppers was taking McKinnie to the cleaners.

Where the f was Jim Kleinsasser?

I agree with all of your points accept the punt. I can see punting from our own 35 yard line on 4th and 5, hoping our defense would make a stop instead of letting the Panthers eat up a 5 minute TD drive.

Why our Head Shed couldn’t get Chestor, Shank, or Kleiny to chip on Peppers is an absolute f’ng mystery.

Kleinsauser would have shut Peppers down

I really think Peppers was 80% of the reason we lost that game last night.

Yes.

Peppers was way too fast for Loadholt or McKinnie. McKinnie had to play way behind the line to keep Peppers from getting around him but then Peppers only had to push him 3 feet before he was tripping over Brett.

Have Kleinsasser line up opposite Peppers on every down to keep him from just running around our big guys, and have Loadholt or McKinnie play up at the line.

McKinnie could block Peppers at the line if he knew Kleinsasser was there to protect the edges.

Most of it, yeah

A lot had to do with our guys not playing up to par, too.

I mean, really…. the Vikings made the Panthers look like serious contenders. I know we key on the offensive problems, but the D wasn’t exactly a house on fire either.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

House on Fire

looked more like an igloo in an ice storm.

Maybe someone will light a match against the Bears.

I don't know the D looked pretty tough

for the first 30 minutes they were on the field, the last 15 minutes they were on the field they looked gassed. I think it’s our conditioning coaches fault they need to prep this D to play 60 minutes of football, literally!
