Davidson Deac II

It was a horrible call, fortunately it had little impact on the game as they fumbled a few plays later. But the vast majority of the penalties were our own fault.

We have a defense that is set up to be a speed defense. If a team can run the ball up the gut well, we struggle to stop them. Especially when they have an effective passing game and we can't load up in the box.

110% panthers, -25% Washington. That is effort and energy, I have no idea about fans in seats.

I wouldn't say it helps us a lot. Personally, I don't think the Falcons have much of a shot at the playoffs, and we already beat them in their place. But it helps a little and they are a division rival, so go Patriots.

In fairness, 90% of NFL coaches fail if they don't have a good quarterback.

He definitely shouldn't give out that info. But maybe the user should be blocked from this site, or at very least, banned from selling tickets anymore.

Some people have a hard time changing. I don't think its the Nature of NC, just the nature of people in general. The vast majority of Washington fans in the state are older, and their children may switch.

I grew up a fan. They were on TV every Sunday before NC got a team. And they were the Cowgals biggest rival and I hated the Cowgals.

Our defense has been very good against one dimensional teams, or teams with poor qb play. It struggled some against the good offenses. There is no shame in this really, these days there are very few truly dominant defenses. The best defense in the league this year gave up 34 points to the Titans. And I do think the additions in the secondary will make us even better. Truth be told, outside of the Oline and QB, our play has been good enough this year to be a contender. Unfortunately, those two positions are very important. But if Cam can come in and just be average, we could challenge for a playoff spot.

I think Kapernick could be a decent backup.

What we really need to do is start the game with a sack, strip/fumble, that sets the offense up with a short field. Then stop a fourth down attempt on Washington's side of the field, setting us up with another short field, and then on their next possession, force an interception.

Most of them don't really bother me, but I did get to the point that I couldn't stand listening to Dick Vitale. Over the last few years of his career, there was to much rambling and very little discussion of the game he was working. Ironically, if you listen to his early years, he was insightful, and competent. But he became a Duke obsessed caricature. Even some Duke fans got tired of it.

How did you pay? Depending on the method, you might be able to get some sort of refund. Or at least get him marked as a scammer, assuming he doesn't come thru with the ticket.

Fwiw, there were a lot of things that went on yesterday that helped the oline. For example, getting out to a 17 point lead (28 in the second half) means the team is rarely in a must pass situation. Fewer blitzes, and focusing on the pass rush for the defense. And it does seem that PJ makes decisions a little quicker than Darnold did.

And only 12-13 of his touches were runs. Most of the passes, he managed to get out of bounds or avoided taking hard hits.

Well, if he had no flaws, he wouldn't be a back up. But yeah, he definitely has a good shot at being a career backup for us.

Arizona, via Detroit.

Hassan because he got things started.

PJ should start every game this season. Bring him in for one play, then send Cam in. To quote Bull Durham, you have to respect the streak.

While we don't know for certain, Cam said it was Rhule who called him. My guess is that if Rhule didn't want him at all, then it would have been the GM calling.

So now they need three td's, three two point conversions, and to recover a couple of onside kicks. Coach better play em up tight, blitz a lot, and play the run tough, or we are doomed.

I have been watching football since 1976, and I have never seen a team do that with a third string qb. The closest was the Bills against the Oilers, and the Bills actually took two quarters to do it. And they did it with their second string.

Would handing the ball off to Chuba or Abdullah really do anything for a guy who has been in the NFL for 10 years.

Greg Dortch sighting. As a Wake fan, I hope he does well, just not today. Although at this point, I am not sure it matters if he does well today.

Don't think he would have made it anyway, but that was bad on the Cards.
