Explain to me how this is "win now" mode when the O-line is literally the worst part of this team and the major fact of the woe's this offense has had AND the major reason we lost to Dallas? This line isn't going to hold up the whole season. 

Tell me how getting a 31 year old CB is Win now mode? Like, what am I missing here. 

while you may not like the move, what about making that move tells you we are not in win now? just apply some quick logic. you pointed out he is 31-so hes not young, which means we are not building for the future...

again, you may not like the move, but the move shows we are ready to win now. just use logic. 

is there an actual ETA on this guy? 2 weeks?

what a turn of events. from getting cut to being traded. 

the guy wants to be paid and I do not see us paying him after we have so much draft capital invested in your CBs.

I think center is the biggest need because Paradis is throwing everything off and everyone has to compensate for it. 

Paradis getting blown up and giving up on the first possession of a sack was so embarrassing. He looked like a fool. 

Our entire O-Line besides Moton is worthless and could not start on any team. You simply cannot do worse by trying to replace them. 

no clue. why would we draft guys only to just say well they are well conditioned and have short arms? didn't we know this all. 

right now our o-line is a MESS. its so hard to watch.

im not sure what talent he has? because he can kick it far? a lot of people can kick far, but he cant get straight, thats talent. 

Yes.

a loss on the road game isn't bad for anything other than the media will doubt us. but who care. we will still be favored in our next 2 games and should win them. I would be happy if we end up 5-1.

is there a minimum window he can comeback now?

kinda bummed we traded him. couldnt of been a deal breaker for this trade, but a smart TE and a position we need depth at. think him as the 1 made Tommy more of a weapon.

Sucks too because had that BS PI call not been called, our defense would have been off the field. 

i thought of the same thing when it happened.

On one hand, stats show the panthers have allowed more points than other teams.

On the other hand Kay Adam’s said the opposite.

It’s so hard to know what to believe!

I will believe whatever Kay Adams says.

Cowboys won’t test Darnold their defense sucks. Our defense will be though 

i mean more of a test for Darold in playing in a game he needs to win for the team. right now he hasn't been asked to win a game. we may line up in a lot more empty back and te sets (which we did more last night in the middle of the game when he was getting a lot of heat). 

Tommy reminds me of Kittle. Guys can block and do a lot of different things for the offense. 

cowboy i think will be Darnold's first test. He is going to be asked to pass a lot. Just hope our o-line can protect him. 

after the Horn pick the was my favorite pick. this guy has potential to do so much for our offense.

Do not rush this man back. Give him adequate time to heal. The future is too bright right now to get focused on instant success. We give him 10+ weeks to heal and he is back before we even play Tampa. 

exactly. its week 3. you get him back by week 13ish and hopefully at that time we are in strong wild card contention. 

listened to a doctor on a radio show this morning and he said he didnt think it looked bad by the way CMS was standing and walking. he said he thinks its a grade one and could even return next game. that said, i think you sit him even if its questionable. we are 3-0 can afford to sit him against Dallas and hope to have him back for our 2 home games. 

broken foot is broken foot and it heals. i'm sure we all though it was an achilles or liz frank (or w/e). if its a 6-10 week injury and he's healthy you play him. this is a wild card team. 

both injuries are probably better than everyone originally thought. 

No game in the NFL is a gimmie, but this is our EASIEST road game on the schedule and you need to win games on the road in the NFL. 

If we want to be taken series, we win this game, and by more than one score.

If we can't get one yard in the running game when we need it, it could cost us a game or two this season.  Our OL lacks nastiness, period.  I remember when our run blocking was superb back in the day.  The big nasties would eat glass and crap barbed wire.  Now they apparently eat marshmallows wear roller skates that only work in one direction...backwards.

Colts have one of the better o-lines in the league and had 1st and goal at the 1 and couldnt punch it in. it happens. That said, spread the field and run Darnold here. It always works.
