Hubbard didn't come to play today. He's been playing weak all day

NYC going to bail out Seattle?

Toes are on the line? That's not even conclusive. Can they make their Seattle favoritism any more obvious?

Let's also remember, the Panthers could be seeing Seattle in 2 weeks, so a low scoring game of field position is in the Panthers favor.

The Panthers did win the 1st half with total game plan. You have to recognize that. Canales has control of the game from a Canales v McDonald stand point. McDonald survives on coming out fast and getting up on a team. The Seahawks aren't built to win a 12 round bout with throwing haymakers and trickery at the end of the 4Q. Even with Bryce and Chuba struggling to make decisions on the field

Bryce was reading the safety and then gave up with a weak pass to Dowdle. At least get it to him to possibly make a play. That was a jump ball to Dowdle and not a pass

Why is Bryce lobbing passes to a RB? The hang on that pass is horrible. No chance for the RB to make a play.

That was the point. Canales isn't opening up the playbook and challenging his players to win when they should win straight up. The only time the playbook was opened up was to regain field position.

NYC trying to give this to Seattle. That was blatant no review on Panthers. NYC discussing if they should review the 4th after opting to stay out of it. Obvious

This play calling is to keep the game close and put it on your players to win when they are in a down and distance they should win with basic play calling. You don't open up the playbook when you're in a 3-3 games. You rely on your QB to read a defense and audible out of bad situations. Players have to win these situations

Hubbard with some very weak running again today

Bryce is late in his decision making today

Ball out of hand before hand goes forward?

Bryce and Chuba have been making several mistakes to start this game. He still needs to turn up field and get whatever he can while trying to break a tackle when the QB is slow to get to him too

Witherspoon grabbed TMacs wrist

Chuba is so slow at turning up field after the catch

Canales wants field position back with him taking audibles away from Bryce

How are those not penalties after the whistle for Seattle?

Canales has been trusting Bryce in 1Q to audible out. Looks like Canales has taken over more to call pass plays in 2Q

Bryce needs to lead a successful drive at some point in this first half!

If you can't see the offensive game plan is to let Bryce audible out of the running game to manage the offense until they're down by 9. you haven't been paying attention to Canales leaning on Bryce to be a franchise playoff QB for the rest of the season. Canales isn't the one audibling to the pass, calling for protection or communicating with Chuba on the field

He hasn't done anything but let Bryce control the audibles and use the running game. Poor communication at the line and Bryce making the wrong hot reads has been the issues. We will see what happens if Bryce fails to lead a running attack with control to audible out. Then Canales will have to open up the playbook. We're not down 2 scores yet, so he'll let Bryce keep failing until he proves he can't succeed to manage the game early

Chuba with the metal mistakes again

Run blitz and always having someone in Darnold's face is the plan. They know Darnold doesn't want to move up in the pocket and run the middle like Baker does. Darnold panic and guess the run lane is the Panthers defensive game plan.

TMac is the ORoY Canales has been developing TMac and there's no doubt he's a WR that would make any QB look good.
