Time for 90s football

DJ decides not to catch it.

Jordan is one of the worst you'll see in Panthers uniform.

Jordan is out there???

Looking like a battle of weak QBs with defense deciding things.

Pointless pass Cousins lol

Lol Cousins is there Darnold

The announcers are.so bored.

Thank goodness its Cousins!

Special teams lol

Painful so far. Let's go D

Must win games begin when we are a loss or tie away from being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. This game is extremely important because Sam is starting to play like trash, and we've got to have him bounce back. Also the team as a whole is making a lot of dumb mistakes, and that is partly due to being young, but we have to turn the corner. Maturity has to come quickly or it's another lost season.

Well you certainly can't look to Sam when things get rocky. Robby is ignored when he gets vocal. The o-linemen are just happy to still be in the NFL. CMC is the goldneboy wunderkind who just wants to blend into the team, and wouldn't mind all of Luke's former commercial endorsement gigs. We don't have a leader on offense.

I pretty much agree with their takes. The Vikings fans seem reasonable and their understanding our of team, what little they know, is pretty accurate. Yes if Sam fumigates the stadium again then we're toast. If Sam does his middle of the road routine, then it will be a "YOU TAKE IT"... "NO YOU TAKE IT" type of game.

Good Sam or Jets Sam. That decides the game with no CMC. No telling what Sam will do.

Sorry but the cart sprained it's tire carting off Deonte. Out 3-6 weeks.

Without CMC our offense should score about 13 points + the garbage time points the Vikings allow us to have to kill the clock. With CMC Sam always has an obviously open target, so that's a piece of cake. That means we score in the 20's or even 30s, and we're in a close dogfight. Sam is a 13 points kind of QB without someone like Steve Smith or CMC ect carrying him.

This is like a 4 win team without CMC, but fans hate his big contract. Ugh... what????

Double post.

With Gilmore, Horn, Henderson, and Jackson healthy to lock up those receivers, and we know they're going to jumbo package us, I like our chances. Our defensive players just weren't prepared at all in practice for what the Cowboys did to us. There are ways to stop it, but you need to plan ahead of time. Throw in CMC who can get open against any defender, and we're right there with them to try and win. Word is spreading that Sam isn't much of a threat, and so we might be facing a lot of Cover-1, an other pass friendly defenses. The Cowboys I'm sure don't respect Sam, so Sam would have to come out and actually throw good deep balls, and go through his progressions like he has 20-20 vision. We can beat the Cowboys, but not if Sam is Jets Sam again. No chance.

Who is the o-line coach?

I've never seen anyone effectively bull rush Deonte Brown, and that includes Derrick Brown. No one is going to push Deonte into Sam. No one. I think Rhule has his finger in the pot of everything going on with this team, and that makes sense given his salary. We know that Rhule demands athleticism from all of his players, and Deonte sometimes moves like a tranquilized Rhino when asked to to get up field and haul ass. Rhule wants players hustling beyond just what their standard responsibilities involve. I think Rhule wanted Deonte as a long shot who he MIGHT be able to slim down beyond the weight he's already lost. Rhule acknowledged that he may be one of those guys who can't lose much more weight than what he has already lost. Deonte might not be up to speed on the assignments on all these exotic fronts and stunts that we might face from week to week. Even so I bet he's wanting to play especially now that they have let Christensen out there.

The requirement for QB limbo is having a QB who has had plenty of time in the league to show off a high level of talent, but instead has showed they are inconsistent (a game manager), or are lower tier (bottom of the NFL in stats). Having a QB who is great doesn't automatically mean a SB win is only a matter of time. Only some great QBs win SBs, but only teams with great QBs win SBs in this era, with maybe an extremely rare exception. Just look at the last 20 or so SB winning teams. See the QBs? We're in limbo with Sam. There is no getting out of limbo so long as Sam is the QB.

The NFL has an answer for defensive heaven. They flag your defense to help the opposing offense generate more TDs and excitement in the game.
