  1. Points per game isn't a good metric considering our offense is fuging useless and has given teams a short field the entirety of every game. The fact that they aren't dead last in opp. PPG is a statement in itself
  2. Ejiro has sold me. He's made something out of a defense that has had health problems all year, while having the worst offense in football to boot. Thomas Brown, I'm not sure of. If he can make us respectable offensively to finish out, I'm down to bring him back for one more year, just to see. But he's got an uphill battle. On a historically awful offense, the entire staff on that side of the ball is hanging on by a spider's thread
  3. You and me both. Sinking feeling Bill is seeing the writing on the wall. I think Tepper reaches out, gauges interest and has terms Bill will have. Bill will almost definitely say "you're not gonna get in the way of me running the football team." Tepper is gonna accept it because it Belichick. Then we're back to perpetually .500 Progress?
  4. I expect Brown to be freed up and show his value. He has no tightrope to walk around. He can lean on Caldwell but I don't think Caldwell will pressure him to structure the offense in any way in particular. What we see the rest of the season will be Brown at least somewhat freely doing his own thing. He can't change it all, but he can incorporate some different stuff that maybe Reich wasn't about.
  5. I just don't watch now. So much nicer.
  6. Panthers have lost to the team they traded DJ Moore to to get Bryce, Anthony Richardson's backup, and Will Levis. And just barely got by CJ Stroud because of some voodoo magic (I'm convinced at this point). Can't make this poo up lol
  7. For a league willing to absolutely destroy the sport itself in the name of safety, the one change that would instantly increase the safety and decrease injury risk, guaranteed, they won't act on.
  8. All Tepper need do is pick up the phone and talk to Tom Dundon. And then listen to the man. Because he's doing sports ownership right.
  9. The reason some linemen suck at zone schemes is they aren't athletic enough, or strong enough, or technically sound enough to effectively create space with it. Fail to gain ground, fail to create lanes, fail to run the ball. Our OL can execute down, down, kickout because it's simpler. It's momentum, it's one directional flow and then jamming with the pull. Same with iso and off tackle, you get a double and a lead up. It's simple. Zone requires dipping and ripping, trading off and climbing, fast feet, violent hands and balance. Something our OL does not have, all of which is evidenced in pass protection. Can they execute the concept? Occasionally I'm sure. But when teams KNOW you're running zone, it's easy to defend. Like dumb easy. Especially given we have no deep passing game, so we're facing 8 man boxes for 6 man, at best, zone schemes. Hell of a lot easier if we could do some zone against some nickel sets with two deep safeties but we're not going to get that.
  10. The ONLY path forward is this. You get a president of football operations hired immediately. Ideally, nobody you know closely if you're Tepper. Somebody with an objective view and a track record of success or a resume under other successful people. You hire that person and you never, ever give your input on what you want outside of "a winning football team". That's it. If he fails, poo can him after 5 years (let's be real, that's how long it takes to unfug this mess) and hire somebody else. But you don't get involved with the actual football team beyond hiring that guy ever again. You're bad at it, you're clueless, and you are torching the franchise scrambling for solutions. Tepper doesn't do that, we're looking at 15 years minimum of absolute fuging pathetic football because Tepper will absolutely not sell if he is making money, and it's damn near impossible to lose money when you own an NFL team. So Tepper is here until he decides he doesn't want to.
  11. I'm not longer watching the Carolina Panthers football team play, I know that much. Play with the kids, do chores, game, nap, literally anything else.
  12. Yes. Which is why I keep calling our staff fuging idiots. There hasn't been a single issue with a snap or handoff from under center. Reich likes operating from the gun. He is too stupid to have thought of trying to run a conventional offense until the second half of this game and the offense finally looked like an NFL offense.
  13. He honestly looks more comfortable under center than in the gun. As rookies tend to. Staff is full of morons
  14. Our offense looks so much better under center and yet our staff is too goddamn stupid to realize that should be our base and not the fuging empty spread sets
  15. Gonna predict a 38-3 final score now. Time to play video games so I can enjoy my Sunday.
  16. Meddling owner needs to just go full meddle. Demand Bryce gets sat the rest of this game and the season. Roll with Andy and get this poo show over with, try again next year.
  17. I literally picked him up two days ago. He was just sitting there available lol
  18. Undisciplined team? Check Inability to do what you're having success with because you'd rather run other poo? Check Inability to put your rookie QB in a position to succeed? Check. Later Frank.
  19. This is the kinda poo I was talking about when I discussed Burns not being a pass rusher that is feared or even really game planned around that much. This entire cowboys DL is more imposing than Burns.
  20. I'm still confused about the ref stalling our offense and then not resetting the play clock. Did we make a sub or something last second?
  21. Yeah I played some BTB the other week and it was a lot of fun. Haven't touched ranked in a bit but it wasn't bad before. Meanwhile I'm hard stuck playing Valorant because I'm an addict
  22. Nothing says morale booster like firing a starter and having all the brass show up to hover over the fired player's former position group. I'm sure this led to a very productive and positive day for the group.
  23. Not really. This was about their run game. That point absolutely still stands. We're damn near last in the league in rushing, they're like, top 10? Top 15 for sure. And they ran to good effect, even if fumbilitis is an issue for their backfield. The scheme in which they run their offense is effective. Unfortunately, Josh Allen is not a generational talent at QB. He's truly a Jake Delhomme-esque guy. Great when he is firing all cylinders, ok when he's not, and gutter trash when he's truly off.
