Can someone explain to me where the heck CJ was on the final drive by Houston? We had Cole out there at one point, Love another with Ealy and Addison. Where was Big Money? I don't remember him getting hurt and he's by far our best pass rusher. 

Apparently out of the game at the end due to hydration issues.

Yeah, Kony Ealy and all.

What was Big Money and TD's excuse in the 1st Half? Or does the 1st Half not count?

Yeah, but Kony Ealy.

Personally, this entire game was an effort at stupid from top to bottom except for Cam, Thor, and Klein.

Um, major props to our Oline.  Remmers might be the MVP.   Also, Ginn had some good returns, and that clutch TD.  Philly Brown too a beautiful TD catch, and Cotchery a really clutch reception.   I don't know why everyone is moaning so much.

Sure, there were some bad penalties and some blown plays, but really, there is quite a bit to be encouraged about re: how our offense performed against one of the toughest D's in the league.  Too close at the end.  Those Kony penalties and that blocked FG were awful.  But we won.  I'll take ugly.  We'll get better.

You're right.

I took it a little too far.

But there's still this: we have players that can make it happen on the field.  I am of the firm position that we have a coaching staff, from the head down (ESPECIALLY the head) who is scared to fugging death to let them try.

Are our WRs poo?  Is our OL patch-work?  Are some of our DBs old?  If the answer to all or any of those is 'yes', its not near the hindrance to the team that Ron Rivera and his "I'm scared to do anything because gosh it might be risky" philosophy is to this team.

By the way, here's a nice stat courtesy of BBR:

 

Houston’s Horrid Ground Game

It’s hard to win in the NFL without a run game, and the Texans don’t have one without injured back Arian Foster. They gained just 24 yards on 11 carries in the first half and just 37 more in the second. It’s the eighth time in their last nine regular-season games that the Panthers have held an opponent below 100 rushing yards. It was the first time they’ve done it despite being without LB Luke Kuechly and DT Star Lotulelei.

FFS why is it you people can't appreciate good defensive football? We've played violent, close and in your face defence and the digging pansy bellends on here want Romo or Big Ben football with Ginn and Cotchery as our receivers.

no wonder there are so many steeler fans on digging Charlotte. Bunch of pussies this fan base is.

So WRs continuing to drop the ball and waaay too many penalties isn't ugly? A patchwork OL and rotating QBs isn't ugly?

FOH

Defensive struggles are one thing, incompetent offenses are another.

They went for it. They just failed. Why would you throw a 20 yard pass to Olsen on 3rd & 9 instead of just picking up 5 yards and setting up a more manageable FG attempt? These guys are stupid. Yes, I want them to take shots down the field, but not when one "simple" play is all you need to make it easier right at the end of the game. They still don't know when the right time is to do what, lol.

Is that on the coaches or does Cam share some of the blame for that?  If I remember correctly,on that particular play Brown was wide open for a short gain over the middle.

this is an awesome stat, and one our fan base just doesn't appreciate. We've beaten our opponents by dragging their offences into the mud and punching them in the balls. 

The unfortunate thing is our first quarter offence is right there in the mud with them, but there is improvement and this o line is definitely gelling.

I don't like how we John Fox it up and dial back the defense when they're sitting on a lead. It almost came back to bite em'.

The pass rush IS NOT getting there and a good QB would have carved us up today.

As DE's usually take three years to develop Ealy isn't a true #1 yet, and it shows at times. Lack of foresight bit them and continues to bite em'. You let the 3rd best player on your team walk and he is immediately employed by a playoff team. 

IF Bowers can play they should have called the guy already. Oh, I forgot...

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
