Ray McDonald left the game early with an injury as well. We were seriously short handed versus them.
Gore averaged 5.1 yards a carry in the first half. Still baffles me that Roman stopped running the ball.
curt you make the game thread for sunday.
that's the only one other than this one ill post in.
No problem
Hopefully we get another win on Sunday
I might have to make the thread early, before the Panthers fans do

this will probably be the best game of the week...
I have no idea who I want to win....
damn man
greg roman
vic
the 2 guys that left to go to college
and now the vikings want to interview our d line coach for their head coaching job
leave us alone
its crazy because we hate Greg, but yet hes at the top of the foodchaine Coordinator wise.. so maybe I should appreciate him since his replacement would likely be a bum, since Greg is the bees knees in this league![]()
i don't hate him.
he just needs to stop playing around.
our offense should have been dominating all season injuries be damned. he still hasn't used all the personnel we have but i can let that slide at this point.
no hunter no james kyle williams for half a season never tried to see what baldwin was or wasn't
HOWEVER
the playbook we have is perfect.
we literally can run a different offensive philosophy... completely different one from series to series.
he just needs to not save dialing up big plays for when we need them and tinkering with stuff during the game.
start fast full throttle.
One very predictable tendency is the fact that we ONLY run to setup play action and he abandons the run in the 2nd half.. I peeped that watching they games on coaches tape.. We don't use Baldwin we don't use Celek.. I mean granted there are only so many balls to go around and you want your heavy hitters to get in a rhythm , but If teams see we NEVER throw to these guys.. you could fuck their shit up if you package them in from time to time
well that was when we were shorthanded. now we don't need to use them because you can't cover crab boldin vd and patton. plus the check downs to gore. so we're ok in that front.
also have done a decent job of running in the 2nd half but we can always improve in passing running and flow to the offense.
he needs to get the plays in on time and the clock won't be an issue. that's proven.
also need to dial up the right calls in the red zone to get the touchdowns to inspire the defense to go out there and shut teams down
Everyone knows Steve Smith will be out there on Sunday. Dude is not missing a playoff game.
I agree with you Curt. The battle in the trenches is the key. Also, Fangio needs to stay aggressive on the outside. Last game they nickel & dimed their way up the field. Same thing the Packers did last week.
Am I the only one who notices the hawks foul on EVERY play on both sides of the ball.. They exploiting the fact that they Know the refs aren't gonna call everything.. The shit is pathetic, I swear I hate these niggas more than any team I've ever hated..
smh..
1st half play-calling... I agree my friend.
Thank god they got their head out of their asses in the 2nd half.
Roman is getting better man.
He's getting better he actually made adjustments
The one positive. Dude is making adjustments. But he still makes it hard on us at times.
Fangio had us in shitty defense in the 1st half also. He had me shaking my damn head more than Roman.
