Shula = God damned idiot

Call any play that you want, but when your OL can't block it won't matter.

I'm guessing Shula didn't watch any of the top ranked defense of Denver's while preparing for them. Having Cam sit in the pocket on every pass play while Von Miller and Demarcus Ware blow right passed the Tackles...yeah, no need to call for rolling the pocket or having Olsen chip the end and rolling Cam out of there....nope lets just call a dive play into the strength of the Denver defense with Stewart or Tolbert on first down, then a two yard swing pass on second down...then have the Denver defense tee off on Cam on third. Yeah, great game plan Shula, you fucking moron.

I was yelling at the TV, just let Cam play backyard ball. I'm proud of the Panthers for getting to the Super Bowl with a average at best OL, RB & WR corps. Give Cam a little better OL and a real WR threat opposite Kelvin Benjamin...they'll be right back in the hunt next year.

They are set to get a left tackle, safety and a wide receiver by what I have read.

Some sprint outs might help to loosen them up. They were one drive away for three entire quarters and played into Denver's hands on every series. And the fuck ups were almost on cue.

4) I'm sick of the "Cam didn't dive after the ball" bullshit. Because it's just that. Bullshit. Cam believes he can work miracles. If you watch that play closely, he heads for the ball, starts to dive, realizes that the ball is going to be hit by the two already on the ground, tries to change directions to pick it up and then dives after it when it gets punched away harder than he expected. So Phil Simms and Jon Gruden and all the other fucks who are pissing and moaning about that can go fuck themselves with bear bryant's goalpost. They can go to hell.

FUCKING THIS.

The other thing he's getting raked over the coals for.

Pretty obvious when you watch the play without assuming he's intentionally throwing the game because...reasons...?

He was sullen and hurt and disappointed in the press conference. I get that.

Here's something else you didn't know.

Before the post-game stuff he usually showers, gets dressed and has time to get himself together. He had barely gotten off the field and the NFL brass came and dragged him to the media stage. No shower, still in pads and cleats. Here, put on this hoodie thing and let's go.

Normally he's an hour or more coming out. Last night they gave him 15 minutes. And people are bitching about what he was wearing.

Fuck.

Why is it that when Saban acts like a first class asshole in a press conference (or Bellichek does) they're praised for it? When either one of them stalks out of a conference or berates a reporter, everybody chuckles and talks about their competitive fire?

Cam is rushed to the podium before even getting a chance to take a shower and he isn't happy. He's the worst human being ever.

I was in a press conference once where Gene Stallings verbally assaulted a female reporter. Called her a useless bag with tits, asked if she'd ever seen a football before in her life and told the rest of the people in there that if she opened her goddamn mouth one more time he wasn't going to answer another question the rest of the year. Yeah, her question was a little dumb, but he went all vein-popping hulk on her. Nobody said shit about that.

Maybe he could/should have acted differently. I don't care. I understand that aching desire to win that he has and that drives him. If you drag me in front of a bunch of reporters after my team lost the state title and before I have a chance to meet with my team and get over it a little when I was coaching in high school? My interview would have probably been as bad as that or worse. I have NO problem admitting that I'm a sore loser. Fucking hate losing. I hate the opposition in the moment. Hate their guts.

It's part of the reason I'm still in business after 12 years, though.

Kaos makes a terrible fake drunk.

Should have been more drunk than I was. 14 or 15 shots of tequila in a little over four hours. Should have been crawling but was just a little "rantish"

I figured Denver would score twice and carolina would have three or four penalties. Figured Carolina would score four times and haft two or three penalties so it would even out.

Didn't expect 12 penalties.

Yep. I thought Gus was calling the plays for the Panthers tonight.

Maybe he was?

Which is why you roll the god damn pocket, chip the end to the side you're rolling to and keep a FB in the backfield to block anyone that gets through...or you roll your QB out, again chipping the end to the side that he's rolling to. You don't continue calling dive plays. Also, passing on first down would've helped too.

This is what I was thinking the entire second half. Well some of it anyway.

ESPN reported that Denver has never lost a game officiated by that referee.

The no-catch call was egregious. So was the failure to call interference on several passes where Ginn was clearly wrapped up well before the ball got there.

The NFL's answer would be "It's not the DB's fault Cam has a slow release. Go Mannings!"

By the way, Cam is one of ours but we all know how we feel about the way AJ McCarron punked out at the end of the Iron Bowl '13. Cam needs to grow up and the Panthers need a vet on that team (like they had with Steve Smith) to help him with that.

That is not "sensible", nor accurate - he congratulated Manning, who said Cam was very humble and gracious. mcdouche ~~got~~ went straight on to his horse,
