I think Ridley’s sudden departure really threw a wrench in their offense game strategy. Add to that the injury to Patterson, not to mention no viable running game, and it’s pretty easy to shut them down. We pretty much did the same thing when we played them a few weeks back.

That was…interesting

Agree . I’m hoping the goal is to get Cam up to speed to be full-time starter after the bye when we play the Falcons. This will have Cam oiled up for the toughest stretch of our schedule with 3 division games and the possible playoff berth on the line.

He won’t. He’s out for the season and this is the last year of his contract. I’m sorry but good riddance! And Elfein is better at C than G. Hope we’ve finally found a solution to our interior woes.

Cards got away with a hold on that TD…no matter.

Mostly agree with you here. You can definitely see the logic behind these decisions, even acquiring Sam (although we got hosed in hindsight with the compensation). Sometimes things just don’t work out. The head scratcher for me was exercising that fifth year option on a QB with his spotty history. They certainly should have held their horses on that one.

Agreed. This is what happens when KEEP POUNDING becomes GET POUNDED on the field.

Sorry - double post

Agreed. I think Smitty is off on this one. Baker is not Brady but he’s tailor-made for their offense. Beckham was a bad fit from jump. It’s more of the organization’s fault for making the trade without understanding the player or the potential fit or lack thereof. I can see him ending up in GB or NO (though their QB situation is worse than Cleveland’s at the moment).

Looks like we’ve finally found the right combination. Hope we can get some continuity up front for a change.

I’d be happy with either Howell or Pickett. But I digress.

where you been Mage? It’s been this way around here for as long as I can remember!

I’m sure location, location and location (and all that comes with that) factored just as heavily as the roster talent. These guys are human beings 1st after all.

I don’t quite agree the team is giving up but I do think our struggles offensively will prevent us from winning more than 2 games the rest of the way.

Most elite veteran QBs aren’t keen about joining a rebuilding team especially one with a suspect OL, their best offensive player on IR and about a year or two away from serious playoff contention. As to Watson choosing Miami, what pro athlete in his position and under the present circumstances wouldn’t chose South Florida over Charlotte or just about anywhere else if given the choice?

Not sure why RA hasn’t been benched. It’s clear he’s struggling for whatever reason and it a a problem that’s not correcting itself anytime soon it seems.

I have serious questions about the OL coaching here. The OL play appears to have steadily regressed since last season.

I agree but it’s hard to stay committed to the run with this group. Our pass blocking is better in comparison to our pass blocking which is hard to believe but it is what it is until we bring in better talent.

At this point I don’t even think we can beat their scrubs or anyone else’s for that matter. The D is going to be completely worn down by the time the O can figure out how to sustain a drive.

I hate being pessimistic but when you look at our remaining schedule I honestly can’t see where the next win comes from….maybe WFT? And it’s a shame because the D has played solid overall with the exception of Dallas and Minny. Our O is god awful!

This Hornets win is the perfect antidote for that dreadful Panthers performance. 3-0!!!

you may be right Squid but I can’t see trading fir Watson until the dark clouds hanging over him are cleared. And who knows when that will be? And if we do, we’ll be making a huge PR mistake.

Sam Howell - you’re future in Carolina awaits.

Wow…we are the get-right team for sure. Teams that struggle when playing us suddenly have their best drives of the season. SMDH And as I type this, the D makes a colossal goal line stand.

I know you’re being sarcastic but as the old Kenny Rogers song, The Gambler, says: You got to know when to hold ‘em, no when to fold ‘em know when to walk away, know when to run
