2 touchdowns through 2 games

The bengals fired their offensive coordinator after 0 tds through 2 games. The Panthers aren't doing much better. Only real difference is 2-0 vs 0-2. 

Everyone knew and expected Cam to be rusty expect Shula it seems.

Where is the offensive evolution. Still hardly any quick routes or check-downs. Still sending everyone downfield 15 yards when we only need 3. We are seeing the same shitty offensive that lead us to 6-10 last season with a mix of Cmc wildcat plays and runs up the gut for no gain.

When is something going to change?

See the problem is that you actually thought it was going to change.  Evolve my ass.

we got inside their 20 three times (twice at or inside the 10) and mustered 9 points.  that's inexcusable.

We picked up huge chunks on pass plays, but down in the red zone you have to be able to run the ball. And we failed miserably at that. I'd love to see Rivera and Shula gone

Single back, 7 step drop, pocket collapses, Cam nowhere to shuffle out of it.  Rinse. repeat.  

This offense can't operate from under center or time themselves pre snap.  It's what, year 7 with Shula and Cam?   I mean, c'mon.  

7 step drop? Only when we go under center 2% of the time.

I hate, hate, hate our running game from the shotgun.  

If you noticed today...when Cam was under center (barely) we didn't fake the handoff...I mean, what are we doing? Where's the play action?

Out of shotgun...where is the read-option? Are we not doing that anymore? Cam can't run...do his legs not work?

Cam should audible individual routes a lot more.

Both games we wasted first half time outs from not getting the play call in. 

I felt like every 3rd down this game was 3rd and 17. Get the ball on their 1 yard line and try to run up the gut when the team doesn't even have a fullback on the roster.

I think we had -5 yards of offensive in the 3rd quarter.

The coaches knew Cam would need some time to get adjusted. He threw two passes all preseason. Not being able to game plan around that is plain inexcusable.

Yep. We're not running PA from under center for some reason.  What I'm getting at is that the standard passes with long routes from under center should NOT be in our playbook even though they're not heavily used.  They always screw it up.  2 sacks today came from that if I recall correctly.  

We have personnel for PA from under center, intermediate passing from shotgun (THIS IS WHERE WE EXCEL), minimal pistol, low crossing routes, quick slants...we're still stuck between an AC and EP with pistol added in.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
