Hornets playing flat tonight. We just can’t lose to a 2-win team.

if that were true....wouldn't our offense at least in 1.5 years attempted a pretty fair share of deep shots? 

I think Rhule simply wants conservative offense and to play defense.  The worst type of football. 

I think Rhule understands that based on our offensive limitations e.g. below average OL, shaky QB situation, etc., playing a conservative style offense is our best chance to win this year. We weren’t nearly as conservative last year and once these issues get addressed, we should get back to a pro style offense. JMO

Robby Anderson was considered a one trick pony as a deep threat when we initially brought him in.

 

Robby certainly has the speed but he’s thin as a rail. Too easy for DB to jam and out-physical.

lol dude you kicked a couple short FGs and some extra points. you did your job whoop dee doo. you didn't do anything special to earn the right to be trolling. 

And he certainly didn’t do his job here or anywhere else for that matter. That’s why he’s on his fifth team this season. Way to go, Slye!!!!

Washington O putting on a clinic today. SMH

D did their job - now can the O get back on track?

Lol why are we the only team that never seems to hit particularly open receivers?

Fixed it for you. He missed Robby Anderson - could’ve easily picked up a 1st down there.

TD…Welcome Home Cam!!!!

and nice play calling by Brady

Disappointing for it to be that close at the end but they're still making progress.

Nice to get the win but they have learn to play better with a big lead. A better team would have stolen this from us.

I thought ATL's offense would be crazy good before they season.  Damn was I wrong.  They look to suck for years because their roster is in complete disarray.   WTF are you doing drafting a TE in the top 10 when you have needs literally at every other position.  They are going to suck for a long long time

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.

I saw this in person. Can confirm it was weird AF.

That was…interesting

I see a problem with that, i was actually thinking about this while the game was going on. PJ was moving the ball well until his INT that was tipped, QB by committee is fine until Cam can learn everything in the offense. 

 

if you could tell, they did a masterful job, that really was more common sense than anything, by making a small section of that playbook catered to Cam and his abilities. 

 

Honestly that's what they need to do. Just use common sense and cater to Cam in the playbook. Have a set of plays specifically for him. Ease him in.  I would not be opposed to that at all. 

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 was shaky to start because he was jacked. Once he settled, the middle of the line was pretty strong.

Paradis never needs to see the field at center again for the Panthers. Period.

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.

I don’t think I we can lump Teddy and Sam as the same type mistakes. 

I mean what they did going all in on Sam is a completely different level than the Teddy thing IMO.  Teddy helped get the new system installed and running in a COVID world.   He was at least competent.  Team always competitive. We probably have a winning season right now with him still here.   

The all in on Sam thing really isn’t forgivable in the way Teddy was.   Just mind boggling what they were thinking there. 

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.

Nobody is going to cheer for a sh@tty team, look at the product put on the field. Also they would throw it up on the screen 5 or 6 times a game. It’s once before game even starts, whoever runs all that is terrible.

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

Sorry - double post

I can see that Odell wasn't a good fit for Cleveland and it is questionable whether it's Baker's fault or Odell's.  I predict he ends up playing the year out in GB.

It just seems to be the team that can use him the most.

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).

Just as I suspected. 

 

Such a huge difference this change in offensive philosophy was. 

 

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

you should be happy ur dream of us draft Sam Howell are still alive.

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

So I guess we're at the point where we just ignore actual logic on this forum to fit whatever negative narrative we want to push.

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

Miami has just as bad of an oline or worse. Miami has one win. One. Anyone looking at this team knows we have a great defense and weapons. We are an extremely talented team with more talent then Miami and he chose Miami lol. 

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.

Lol we won’t win anymore games. This team has given up!

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.

Rodgers isn’t coming here. That’s two elite qbs who straight up said no to us. We’re gonna have to draft a qb and this fanbase should be very very concerned about this staff picking the right one with Teddy and Darnold being their choices in the past.

some of us told y’all who were celebrating cutting cam that we could be in qb hell for a decade. 

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?

Dude had his little hissy fit on the sidelines and he's been the worst WR in football ever since.

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.
