Paradis blocking who he blocks best - the air.

Time to play our favorite game! Who gave up the sack???

Chubba is starting to look like 2K Yard Chubba. His patience and one-cut ability is a thing of beauty.

The fact he stayed with him and rode his hip on a double move on one of the best route runners in football was absolutely amazing and beautiful.

I'm rather take Howell over Rattler, regardless of my allegiances. Howell has provided plenty of reason to pause on his hype train this year, but their playmakers are extremely depleted this season compared to last. Having watched both guys, I don't see any translatable skill from college to the pros in Rattler. He doesn't look like an NFL QB to me in any facet.

Taylor is a fuging baller. We might not even need Henderson or Gilmore when Horn gets back 100%. Taylor is starting to look like a shutdown kind of guy.

Great move by Roy.

Nice hold by the guard

Damn Luvu! Great tackle.

Great hit by Chandler.

Thats a horrible spot.

Can the punter do the kickoffs? Good gracious we can't cover a kick.

It was a speed option with a shovel pass option. Good play. Brady still sucks ass.

I thought that was DJ lol

Whew, was waiting for the refs to overturn the fumble for like the 8th time this year. Great play by Bouye.

Taylor is a fuging gem.

At this point, just hand the fuging ball off to Chubba every play or this poo is gonna be a 50 point loss by halftime. The defense isn't going to be able to withstand the offense's ineptitude. Just like last week, eventually they break.

Joe Brady has to fuging go. I'm fuging sick of his Pop Warner poo. We're 2 drives in and the DBs are already sitting on the routes bc he's doing the same poo he's done for 5 weeks. DJ came open on the deep route bc they were anticipating it would go underneath and the DBs ran into each other and this fuging Jimmy Neutron looking douche still refused to take the shot and checked down to a pick instead. Enough is enough.

He's getting worse and worse.

My thoughts exactly. Just chuck it deep and give him a shot. Once you held it that long and its a fuging two man route, your only other option is doing what he did or taking a sack. And same as you said, I' not an NFL QB, but if you got a guy running to the sideline and he already has reached the boundary, you can't ever fuging throw that late. This is elementary poo he is still struggling with. At least if he throws it up and gives DJ a shot to run underneath it, either you complete it for a big play, it's incomplete, or you throw a deep pick. All better options than the one he chose.

DJ came open. And the line gave Sam an hour and a fuging half to throw it with no pressure. Sam is a fuging train wreck scared to pull the trigger deep. He's a lesser version of Bridgewater and it's time to start looking for a real QB. They might want to swallow their pride and sign Cam back. Sam's garbage.

The other thing that bothers me about where we're at now with his playcalling is that now that DBs jumped routes 2 straight weeks for key INTs and the story about Robby's blow up comes out, it takes away the opportunity to surprise them here in the immediate . Teams will now expect it's coming, especially this week, because it's become such a huge, noticeable issue. And thats why he isn't a very good coordinator. Good ones see teams sitting on routes and they make the needed adjustments immediately before teams even know the adjustment was made. But, now, it just feels like we've been backed in a corner.

Honestly, I'm reaching that point. I'll always be a fan of the Panthers and hold my allegiance to them, but I realized a few years ago, especially after Superbowl 50, the only way to ensure one is to curry favor with the league office. You can only do that be either developing or obtaining one of the top 5 superstars in the league or so (and keep them healthy), or build an undeniably good team with great coaching that is capable of making the playoffs every year, thus recognized as a perennial contender. When we had the best player in the league, we ran him into the ground within a year after his MVP season, so giving ourself a chance to get to another Superbowl went out the window as soon as we were pushed out of Superbowl 50 by league storylines and officiating. Anyways, the only way to obtain a league superstar or a perennial winner is through good ownership. The realization I had a few years ago is that if you look around the league, most ownership sucks and are incapable of running a winning organizations. Only a handful of organizations in the league have been winners during any significant stretches, everyone else has had small spurts where they just lucked into winning. Look at the Lions, Bears, Browns, Cardinals, etc. - some of the oldest franchises in the league and they have abysmal history outside of a few small spurts of success. Now, we have a chance to turn it around with new (and very wealthy) ownership in Tepper, but it also takes the ability to find and appoint the right leadership that create a winning culture and system. Patriots and Belichick, Baltimore and Harbaugh, Seattle and Carroll, Pittsburgh and Cowher and then Tomlin, KC and Philly before them with Reid... these are the most recent teams with sustained success. Tepper gave us new hope, but it isn't very promising so far. He held onto Rivera too long, Hurney as well, allowed Cam to be jettisoned when the two guys that followed have been worse (despite Cam's injury issues and physical condition), then paid out the wazoo for Rhule and his handpicked staff, which are already showing signs of regression and amateurish decision-making. So, all that being said, seeing the direction we are trending now, I'm just not seeing that glimmer of elite, culture-building ownership that the league's winning franchises have. And since I was 10 years old when we first got a team, living for every fall Sunday just to watch our Panthers, only to be let down time and time again... it just starts to wear on you. It's like being in an abusive relationship, and we just keep coming back to be disappointed, hurt, and let down. Again, I will always be a fan and will always have my allegiance and loyalty to my hometeams, but at some point, I have to question how much I'm giving to this team and what am I getting back in return. And at this point, I'm way in the red, and it just doesn't feel very good anymore. Sorry for using your post as a springboard to vent, but this poo is frustrating.

To the point of CMC though, part of his misfortune and undoing, is of his own volition. He has stated emphatically that he is a RB and that he wants all of the touches possible. He doesn't want to give up snaps, and I think that's why regardless of what the coaches say, his touches never markedly decreased, and I also think that's why he was still playing in the 4th qtr before the Texans game. That being said, yes, the TNF games are atrocious and need to be done away with, but honestly, I really only think it cost us Horn for the majority of the year. CMC was gonna end up on IR regardless, whether it was TNF or not.

It's like Haruki Nakamura, except multiplied by like 4.
