The loss is on the offense for sure. Defense played well enough to win.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

it's not that we lost a game we were favored to lose, it is the way we played.

I know the score deosnt show it but I thought they played pretty well. You had some key mistakes that turned the game. Of course the 2 missed field goals. Bell's fumble, Calvin's dropped TD, Staffords underthrown ball that was picked. Then another fumble. At the end the momentum got away. They didnt push us around, they couldnt run the ball. There were no broken coverages. We put pressure on the QB, 5 sacks. Carolina didnt turn the ball over that was the key.

Fumbles, freeze, and fuck Pettigrew. The 3 f's.

These assholes piss me off. Now everyone suddenly thinks its Staffords fault. Thats bullshit.

Who said its Stafford's fault?

You love the guy, I get it. But when he's dumb and shitty he's dumb and shitty. He played well despite his teammates in the first half.

Turnovers(a missed field is effectively a turnover) were the deciding factor in this game. Only one of the many TOs was Stafford's fault. He didn't lose this game.

Agreed. The D was put in a tough spot today too many times.

 

[SteelersPride]

whats with the force passing to the crap TE"s, talent galore, and we just target junk TE's

 

[Cleaves2000]

Just run the clock out before someone gets hurt. Geez

 

[lionstop1]

The dumb ass announcers started claiming all he does he throw it to CJ after that pick. I just think everyone over-reacts when Stafford messes up. All of the good qbs have thrown picks today. It happens

Sorry if u add everything up, they didnt play pretty well at all

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Sorry im not gonna be a fan to say the other team is really good because we lost. The lions lost this game on their own. Ill leave that excuse to bears fans

Lmao pettidrops!!!

We will pretend that a Carolina isnt a 12-4 team coming off a road win without Cam Newton. And we will pretend they dont have one of the best defenses in the league. Yeah terrible loss the Lions suck.

 

[broncosmitty]

Bell racking up garbage time stats like normal. He got a nice contract on account of this stuff.

Yup i agree theyre not very good. Lets see how they play a pretty good team named GB. Carolina was missing a couple starters. A rusty cam. But yeah. Carolina is on par with seattle since they beat us

Yup just like years before. Stafford and joique padding stats when were down 17 with a min left. Onli if they could do that when only down 6.

I disagree. We moved the ball up and down the field at will in the first half. Shot in the foot by the 2 missed field goals and fumble. I think it's coaching...they should coach to make those field goals and not to fumble. Fire Caldwell

 

[Cleaves2000]

But hey we played PRETTY WELL. 7 fuckin points!!!!


Still dont play well on grass. Same ole u know what

It's the most frustrating thing over the last two years for me. People use their stats as a sign that they're better than they actually are. So much of Bells career numbers are just like today. Completely meaningless "somebody" stats against soft D's protecting a lead.

Coaching? Hope thats sarcasm

Yup offense moved the ball in first half. BUT THEY SCORED 7 POINTS!!! Thats not playing pretty well. I guess we just disagree what playing pretty well is. This isnt pee wee leagues

I totally agree. The better his numbers are the worse the score is it usually seems.

The game was closer than the score showed, but our D kept us in it. A NFL kicker should make at least one of those 49 yard FGs. 4 turnovers puts the D in tough situations. Calvin's dropped TD was a hard catch to make, but we have seen him make it before. A couple of bad times penalties on the D, and soft coverage. Carolina's receivers were not getting behind our D, but they were getting separation on the 5-10yard routes. Overall the Dline and LBs had a good game, the rest of the team didn't.
