Never would have guessed the offense would be far ahead of the defense

Have a question on O playcalling.

Why don't we throw the quick out pass to Ginn or Brown like we used to to Smith?

It looked like the dbs were playing off Ginn a lot today, seems like a quick easy 5-6 yards.

I'm pretty happy with both sides of the ball right now, knowing that Rivera's teams usually get better as the season progresses. I seriously doubt that many  people expected this offense to score as much as it has without Benjamin. I don't care what anybody says, Shula deserves a lot of credit, IMO. If you want a different scheme, then you might need a different QB, because this whole thing is designed to feature Cam's strengths. 

ST's still needs a lot of work though.

Our offense has been poo quite frankly all season. D has done alright. Not impressed with the run D though. Turnovers are balancing things out.

Nvm poo is alittle overstatement. We did move the ball decently a few times this season. I want to see more consistency.

Each and every game is different. Against the Bucs, our defense was playing against a more aggressive downfield passing offense with 2 6-5 beast WRs in Jackson and Evans and Doug Martin has always played good against us. Our defense adapted. Yes, they gave up a lot of yardage but negated a lot of drives with TOs and short fields for our offense. The defense absolutely won this game for us.

I also think we're seeing the effect Luke Kuechly has on this defense. The defense is just more disciplined and guys are in better position with Luke running the show. With Luke, that completion to Jackson on 3rd and 21 would have been stopped 7-8 yards short, forcing a long field goal or punt. Instead, it ended in a TD.

Cam is doing a great job of controlling the game, the entire game this year. He's making far better decisions and much better throws, now all he has to do is figure out how to stop getting balls batted down.
