Wait, tf you think I'm defending Kyler?

This team hasn't had a "big game" in forever. The home Seahawk game was the first one in forever, and K1 shat the bed in it. Ended the season right there, for all intents and purposes.
The two Seattle games and the Minny games were big games. Those are the "seize control of your destiny" games.

In retrospect I think the Vikings game was a superb effort by the defense and everyone on offense expect for MHJ. If Marv had hauled in more than 5 of his 12 targets that was a hard fought win.

We scored 30 points missing our two starting tackles & our top 3 rb's after Conner went down. The defense are the ones that gave up over 30 points to a team that was averaging less than 20 per game. Yes Kyler played like ass at times but we were still in position to win. It seems to me like the Panthers could run at will on our D. We were also missing our best CB.

Agreed but the offense had their chance to win in OT and also gagged it away.

The defense needs more talent the offense needs more balls and heart

It was obviously a team loss. And, yes, a first quarter like yesterday means the coaches were part of the problem.

The defense has to be the focus of the offseason as the priority for our resources. The most immediate way to add wins is get our defense to the top 10 in yards and/or turnovers.

There were those who thought it was Sean Payton or Bust for Kyler Murray to live up to his potential.

I guess we're seeing the bust.

Sad.

He's not exactly a bust. He's had a bunch of really good games this year. Even against MIN he played really well for 58 minutes or whatever.

He can even lead a "clutch" game winning drive in a garden variety October regular season game.

But when the stakes get really high, and you turn up the pressure to the maximum, he seems to lose his composure, which everyone knows is deadly in terms of performance.

He's doomed to go into the dustbin of history as an also-ran if he can't get over it.
