If anyone played worse than Jake....it would have to be

the offensive line.

Very little to no push on running plays, penalties, and terrible pass protection. Could not pick up on the blitzes, I didn't think any one of the sacks were a coverage sack. Jake played horrible, but the o-line did nothing to help him, D-Will or Stewart out. Even out only TD was bad blocking turned good run. We couldnt even punch it in at the end of the game.

On another note, defensively, it appears on defense we are having more trouble with off tackle runs more than runs directly up the middle.

I'm not saying they played well, because they didn't. But on many occasions, you can't blame them. Blame Jeff Davidson. He did nothing to account for the continuous blitz. Pretty damn sad for a guy that was an O-line coach for years before coming to the Panthers and becoming coordinator.

You better believe that Atlanta is going to bring the pressure early on Sunday.

This.

Though I think they played about as well as could be expected... perhaps somewhat disappointing and not up to par but I do not think that the OL was so terrible that they would've lost us the game if not for other significant factors.

#1 rule for managing a game: Protect the Ball.

He eyes down Smith when he's in trouble. That's worked in the past, but now teams are sending zone blitzes with a lot of the zone clouds in smith's area. Easy INT = Easy INT. A lot of his throws were just plain old bad decisions. There was no quick passing game either. Everytime he took a sack it was a 10 yard loss. Who the fug takes a 5-7 step drop against one of the most notorious blitzing teams in the NFL. And again, he went into Panic Mode way too early and tried to score 2 touchdowns on one play. This was ALL in the first half. If you think the Offensive Line is to blame now, then think again, it's just his intangibles no longer having an effect over his low potent measurables.

Sadly true. The offensive line was terrible. No answers for the Eagles blitzes at all :(

But, who could have foreseen this? Eagles creating pressure with the blitz.. how is this not in any game film between 1999-2009? Surely this must be some new strategy they are employing here.

They played pretty freakn terrible. I could spin it like this, Jake would not have lost the game for us had our defense caused 7 turnovers and scored on them. Jake made bad passes, in fact two of his ints there was not as much pressure, but throughout the game, our O-Line was garbage. Jake played worst, but if he had a challenger for that title, I would give it to the line.

OK so whats your explanation for the run game, or lack thereof? Oh, this thread was not created to defend Jake either, just point out another aspect of patheticness.

Yes and no.

Jim Johnson's MO and blitz packages are well known and well scouted.

Sean McDermott went more aggressive than I've even seen Johnson go. Johnson had certain situations he preferred to blitz in. McDermott? Anytime, anywhere.

That approach could get him in trouble down the road, but it worked yesterday.

after that 1st drive the eagles knew what we were going to do.....when we ran they had 9 in the box and passing downs they sent at most 9 people. ol did not have a stellar game but they didnt suck the place up.6 people can't block 8 or 9 defenders blitzing.when our qbs had the time, they threw horrible passes. so no one played worse than jd.

people knew there would be similarities but what wasn't known is if he would be more aggressive with the blitz or less.

makes sense that a young guy trying to make a statement that he is the man now would do that against a team that is supposed to have one of the best Olines and best offenses in the league.

imo, they need to go bring in an assistant DC/consultant who has a lot of experience in a 3-4 or at least a blitz happy team to help the Oline's preparation.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
