The refs......

Derrick Brown getting tough with the runs

Hammy for CMC

Chubba is playing like a late round draft pick.

Refs are against us.

And we're playing a team with a poop QB and missing their best defensive player with a chance to go 3-0. If you're not happy now, then I don't know what to tell you.

I actually was worried that the o-line would collapse and lead to Darnold pooping the bed any time we played a good defense. Well that was wrong. The o-line is somewhat holding it together, and Darnold, although not lighting the world on fire, is playing like a good quality game manager. However, we have what appears at the moment to be easiest schedule we have ever had maybe in franchise history until we play the Bucs twice close together. It's easy street for a LONG stretch coming up. We need to rack up wins.

Davis Mills shouldn't be able to do much of anything against our defense. That means the Texans defense will wear down from being on the field for too long trying to chase CMC and the rest. With Mills at QB and an exhausted defense the Texans should unravel and we should win comfortably. There is no reason why Phil Snow shouldn't be able to destroy Mills with our loaded defense. When your QB is rattled, untalented, and has no experience it's a wrap. On the other hand it's any given Sunday. The Texans have talent spread around on both sides of the ball, and if we don't play well then they can make a game of it even with Mills.

She doesn't have to worry about COVID because the virus would never be able to find her lungs in all that fat.

I was at many of those Duke football games when they were terrible, and I was a teen. The Duke football radio announcers would say that it was good that Duke was pooch punting on 3rd down because it caught the defense off guard. I knew the real reason for pooching was because the QB was so terrible that the coaches were concerned that he would throw a pick 6.

In the past the Duke football team would pooch punt on 3rd down several times a game. The QB would take the snap like he was going to pass on 3rd down, and then awkwardly kick the ball into the secondary. David Culley is Duke football stupid.

Christensen lol

I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I looked 3 times for CMC in the top 5 offense. Then I remembered that Matt Rhule thinks PFF is a joke and I'm starting to agree.

Going into the draft most Huddlers thought we were going to take Slater. This was kind of a no brainer given our o-line situation. Stunningly we took Horn with only a few Huddlers thinking that was going to happen. I'm an o-line is more important than CB guy. Rhule has a plan for the o-line, but I'm not crazy about it. CMC has been told to keep an eye on the A and B gaps on passing key passing downs and pick up anyone busting through wearing the wrong color. On the pass play to Robby for a TD CMC did as he was told and blocked an enormous JETS pass rusher to give Darnold time. Rhule was beaming afterwards and kept repeating to anyone who would listen that it was CMC's best play of the game. The problem with using CMC beside Darnold for pass protecting is that he ends up getting beat up fighting for dear life against monstrous pass rushers. This could lead to a CMC injury, but we're running out of options for what to do to help the o-line.

We're doing the same things we did under Ron Rivera. Barely beat a terrible rebuilding team. Get a little lead and then go into a soft zone. Red Zone issues. Rely too heavily on CMC. This is just Ron 2.0. if this is it then we shouldn't have fired Ron to start with. We've just got a faster talking more nervous Ron Rivera.

CMC in godmode

These refs....

BS!!!

Sam....

Rhule.....

Omg!

Yeah his feet are not going with him as he goes through his progressions.

Our own Panthers fans called the front office around the clock to the point where the secretaries were very upset. Jerry went crying about the Hardy situation. Rivera voluntarily put Hardy on the exempt list. The Mr. Mom Panthers fans couldn’t accept the idea of Hardy playing. Never mind the NFL, the Panthers wanted Hardy on the sideline.

Most of the o-line is a liability in pass blocking, and some of the o-line is poor at run blocking. Unless the o-line has drastically improved I wouldn't expect us making the playoffs. Now we could work our rookies into the o-line to replace two of our extremely bad o-linemen, but that has yet to happen. And there is no guarantee that either Christensen or Deonte will be ready to play at some point this season. Given the transitional state of the o-line coupled with Darnold's lack of experience in our offensive system (Darnold is still working on the mechanics of turning to go through his progressions ect) I would not expect a playoff birth.
