My Goodness My Guinness

This is what happens when a small and fast defense meets the number 1 ranked running O-line

Remember when someone posted about O-line grades vs record and everyone was like “Washington is number 1 and suxx lol we don’t need O-line” RIP

Their O-line is absolutely manhandling us. Just like Dallas did

It has to be Paradis' calls. And it would happen often where the D would blitz and o-lineman would be standing around without anyone to block.

O-line has played okay but CMC has been chipping pretty well and PJ is getting the ball out quick. Really shows how broken Darnold was the last few games. And our receivers are catching the ball which is a nice change. Continuing to blame Darnold for Robby dropping all those passes is hilarious though.

I thought about the impending drama between these two immediately.

Nailed it 100%. Without a running game it’s much harder to pass/pass block. Without the appropriate scheme, quick decision making, and good routes by receivers who can catch, you are going to be an atrocious offense. Its no one issue, it’s literally the whole offense. But it starts with personnel decisions and coaching for sure.

I wanted Fields. But changed my mind after watch Horn play. Honestly, one of the best shutdown corners I’ve watched and he’s a rookie. It’ll pay off in the long run. The issue with Fields is the same as it was in college. One game he looks like an absolute stud (see Clemson game) and the next he is missing receivers badly, processing slowly, taking sacks. That tells me that he still needs work seeing the whole field and processing the defense. So we would have had to be patient with him behind this line. He would have probably been up and way down quite a lot for a few years. Something which should be obvious that our fans couldn’t take. Leading to chants to take a QB after 2 years. And that is how our transition to the Jets would be complete.

Unfortunately, Bouye sucks and is probably our worst corner

We literally just booed Teddy off the team last year. Tell me what has changed offensively to make you think it would be any different this year?

Everything

Panther fans must have memory loss. Jimmy Clausen was probably the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past 30 years. Worse than Jamarcus Russell. Worse than everyone.

Honestly, not sure. So I agree with OP that’s it all feels pretty empty. From a fan looking in, it’s a really bad look when everything Rhule says is immediately contradicted the following day. Hard to believe in somebody when they obviously don’t stand by their word. So I’d say the culture was optimistic, but is now confused/concerned. Which is not good.

This franchise has had wine and cheese fans since the beginning. It’s nothing new.

Lol think Doug Pederson and Nick Foles would be better than this?

I know right? This is what bad owners do. I haven’t agreed with a lot that’s happened this season. But we are still a mid pack team in spite of a broken QB, pile of twigs for an O-line, and a high school offensive coordinator. There is a looong way to fall and I don’t think the fan base is ready for it.

Agreed. Fans are just pissed and are looking for heads to fall. The worst takes are the “wE ShOuld fOrcE Tepper to SELL!!!” My expectations for this season was .500 max honestly. The offensive play calling / execution has been the worst since the Lame duck Fox year. But it has NOT been worse. Not sure any team in history were as bad as that team offensively.

The hypocrisy of anyone pounding the table complaining about Rhule and co. taking an unnecessary risk on Darnold, yet want to draft a QB in the first round with this O-Line. It’s incredible. I’d take a guy like Minshew and try my best to beef up all three interior O-line spots. Erving has played fine when healthy and it’s a pipe dream to upgrade Tackle spots this off-season. Better to go for the things that’s has been killing us: the interior.

100%. The offense won’t be any good until the line gets addressed. I’d rather trade back and get a couple of interior d-line than draft a qb and set them up behind this garbage.

He also can’t catch himself

I’m sure he’s shaking in his boots

Robby can eat a bag of dongs. Sam sucks, sure, but it’s nobody else’s fault for dropping every other ball and running lazy ass routes.

Is the Renaissance festival still going on? He might like some jousting

I'd gladly take Baker

No way he gets past Detroit right? ..right?
