Gross: There Was A Rhythm To The Offense

[jarhead]

The real test will be in who we add and their value they can bring.I am sure they are evaluating talent,injuries etc...I feel we will make a move or two..but we do not have the money to address them all.I think the needs at DT and cb are obvious.My fear is we will not have plan B for the offesive line.I hope there no illusions on the value Otah will bring.His knee was swollen from just showing up at training camp.

I really don't expect people to talk negatively about Rivera this year, no matter how bad we do except for fair weather fans. Most people with any football sense knows this is going to be a rough year, though it looks to be more rough than even some of us were expecting. I literaly lol'd in the season prediction threads when the homers were giving us anything close to a .500 or even a winning record this year. At this point, even my 5 win estimate is looking iffy.

I predicted 4 wins and wonder if we can make that given our schedule

I will admit that my optimism was severely shaken last night. I am struggling to believe that there will be 5 wins this year. :(

As bad as Cam's percentage was last night, how many receivers looked open when the ball went in their direction. Yea, Cam had some bad throws but he looks much more comfy in the pocket versus Clausen. At least Cam can extend the play and looks to throw down the field to get the first down. At this point, I would look at Derek Anderson next week and see what he does. If he flops or fairs no better than Cam, then Cam is your starter. Cam will get better with more play. Clausen is third on the depth chart in my opinion.

Great post. I pointed that out in the chat last night... Again, Cam had some off throws, but how often was he throwing to an open man without a defender already on his back.

It seems like the whole offense is still figuring stuff out... OL botching protections, not working together on passing off rushers, WRs (mostly) and TEs not getting open... Just a bad combination of things going wrong simultaneously right now.

just because we didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. once you got past being pissed at how badly things looked in the first half you could see that things were clicking better in the 2nd half. they looked better and more comfortable out there together.

yeah, i wouldn't exactly use the word 'fluid' in describing what i saw, but i'll buy 'rhythm'. it's not an excuse. not sure how anyone could say that there was a rhythm there as an excuse for poor play. all it is saying is that things got to a point that it felt better to them...not that losing felt good or anything foolish like that.

btw...some of you guys need more fiber in your diet. you sound like bunch of constipated ducks on here and on twitter with all the bitching and whining. yeah, things looked bad and probably worse than we expected, but it's just week 3 of preseason. things will get better. this isn't last year where the team had no incentive to improve. these guys have a chip on their shoulder. you want them to get better, don't start calling them out and bitching at them on twitter or whatever. all your going to do is let them know that this fan base doesn't have their back and you'll just get blocked out.

screw it...sound like a bunch of bitter old drunk women if you want. i'm not saying you have to feel good about it or sweep it under the rug, but there are better ways of showing it than the way a couple of you did. it doesn't do anyone any good.

the constant rhythm of Mackenzy Bernadeau's feet backpedaling?

for srs that guy is terrible, first fugin play of the game and he got pushed back into Cam

[Marguide]

If I were a Panthers O-lineman, I would be too embarrassed to show my face in public today.

Rhythm? Child please.

[CatMan72]

If the defense plays like they did last night, it won't matter what Cam does.

[jasonluckydog]

Now I have El Debarge stuck in my head

[Carl Spackler]

The defense is putting Cam in a scenario where unless he puts up 300-400 yards of offense every game, we can't win.

How many of our QBs have to get blind sided thanks to Gross before we start looking to replace him or move him to another side. And Gamble, whoever ranks these players like they do obviously has never watched him play. Terrible and with what he makes he should have an untouchable island out there.
