Why can't our receivers get separation?

Bad play calling or lack of ability to get away from defenders?

2nd question - why can't we call a run play or screen to the outside? We only had one designed screen against NO and it was a 13 yard gain. The other time we DWill took it to the house. Granted that wasn't a designed cut back, but with the whole D in the middle why can't we recognize this?

3rd question - our offense is bad at this point, why are we not calling any gimic plays, ie. reverse pass, etc.?

Lack of ability and play calling. It's a lot harder to get open on a 2 WR set than on a 4-5 WR set. With more WRs, you increase the chance of DBs getting confused and getting out of place.

This, and not just WRs. It's not coincidence that Stewart scored on that play. Confuse the hell out of defenses with a half dozen potential receivers!

of course, that's not how this team is built, and we rarely have enough time for the QB to progress through that many reads.

Our passing tree has like 4 branches... That is why...

If you can zone cover an out, a curl, a slant, or a fade, then you can beat the Panthers passing attack (or lack thereof)...

This is what happens when you are a running team in a passing league... The box gets stacked and you are shut down (especially if you have a high school style game plan)...

Davidson has to go, along with Fox, and Hurney will go with him...

Bring in Weis or someone who knows how to run an offense, keep Meeks and Baker on the defensive side of the ball, and wipe the board with the scouting department and start fresh there... Boom, you just fixed the Panthers' front office woes...

    • KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.
    • Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.  
    • Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
