Looking at our offensive woes from a different angle...

The two defenses we've played against have let up a combined 3 TDs. 2 of them are from us. Yes, the Jets and Seahawks both have problems, but it's still impressive to hold two teams to 0-1 TDs throughout 4 quarters.

Our O-Line held up very well against the 49ers. Yes, the Seahawks O-Line sucks, but, there was a time our O-Line looked that woeful, against D-Lines with less talent. Maybe yesterday was the exception and not the rule, as McDs defenses are blitz heavy. We were without our starting C, the most important position on the line in terms of consistency.

Much ado was made about Cam's accuracy, but his final stats were 20/32, which is good still. KB doesn't get rocked and he's able to hit CMC, no one's talking about this. Saints defense is much softer, and this should be the best chance for Cam and CMC to get more on the same page in live game action. On top of that, both KB and Funchal were heavily involved, and we tried to get Samuel in on it too. 

Now there's a chance none of this means poo, but the 49ers and Bills both have legit defenses, and both teams are the laughing stocks they were a couple of years back. I think we should hold off on the Panic button just a tad, and see how we look against the Saints, we still look woeful then we panic.

The Panthers need to handle their business and if they do, what the other teams are just won't matter 

The frustration with this coaching staff is doing the same things incorrectly over and over and over again for years

How hard is it to get to the line with at least 15 seconds on the clock?

i would suspect in the pantheon of difficulty in the NFL, it can't be that hard and yet, year after year after year under Rivera this happens.

I was at the game yesterday, and it was unsettling how late either the calls were getting in and/or how late the Panthers were getting to the line.  Hard to change the play when you get to the line with under 7 seconds left.  I know the offense is supposedly "evolved/different/inept," but that shouldn't happen on a veteran team like this.  And especially at home.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, coaching and playcalling have always been an issue, this isn't a Shula excuse thread, his play calling is in excusable and makes things harder for our entire offense.

However, I've seen some people act like we won't be able to score on anyone ever, some people are expecting us to make the Saints look good. I just want some of this doom and gloom to die.

Cam just needs to build some continuity that he wasn't able to in the offseason, or training camp, or preseason.

The main concern should first and foremost be getting adequate protection along our OL. That play where Cam got hurt while our tackles were on skates is a prime example of this franchises ineptitude at protecting him. We're almost 7 years into the Cam era. We shouldn't still be seeing this poo, especially not after the guy is returning from shoulder surgery. It's unacceptable.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
