Said the same. I honestly think Canales is a solid playcaller, but what I’m seeing is, he really, really struggles with options. The more options he has with personnel, the more he struggles to create rhythm bc he is trying to work all these guys in. He also doesn’t seem to change calls based off the personnel, which is a negative. He tries to call the same stuff regardless of who is in there.

Man, I really wish XL could break a tackle.

Canales, quit fuging around, bro. Also, fwiw, I’ve said it before, but idk that I’ve seen a worse, more rapid descent into mediocrity of an OL than Austin Corbett since Matt Kalil. He was REALLY good. Now he’s really bad. You can already see how bad the OL looks with him in there.

That was kind of dirty hit by Scott. But respect to that Jets OL. He also made a dirty hit in retaliation, but that’s what I wished our OL had done for Cam, but they didn’t. Also, fug these officials because that should’ve been offsetting penalties. Ain’t no way the OL coming in and hitting Scott wasn’t also a penalty.

I really hope I’m wrong but this has all the makings of us shitting the bed. Chance to get above .500 and Canales is fuging around.

Ransom needs to keep his fuging head up

Offensive line got WASHED

Yeah, I’ve seen enough. Rico the rest of the way unless he needs a breather.

Waatching it live, it’s hard to tell if XL or Coker was the target. So it’s hard to say who is at fault.

Corbett is at LG, Mays stayed at C.

Didn’t get to post it before the game, but surprised by Renfrow’s being inactive. I think on a team with a great QB, Renfrow would be putting up numbers close to his pre-chronic illness. That being said, I’m excited to see more snaps for Horn. He has that something special where he looks faster than everyone else around him.

I really love and appreciate Chuba, but after seeing Rico the last two weeks, Chuba just doesn’t have the burst.

If you think the NFL or NBA are worried about lawsuits or something like officiating scandals bringing down their empires, I think you're giving them way too much credit. Go watch the documentary on Tim Donaghy in the NBA and who was involved and what he did. One of the guys he worked with is still one of the league's top trusted officials, especially for playoff games. IIRC, they have records showing he was the person Donaghy exchanged phone calls with the most during his time fixing games. And his reputation is beyond horrible... but he's untouchable. I also encourage you to go watch DeMaurice Smith's Breakfast Club interview. He laid out how for fans, we just know these organizations as a singular, public entity - like THE Carolina Panthers, or THE Dallas Cowboys- but, in actuality, he said that is the public-facing identity of an umbrella company comprised of countless smaller businesses and LLCs. He is tasked with trying to audit their books, and he said these organizations are structured in such a way that even HE can't ever know what they truly make in a year. It's impossible. And now, this is just me speculating on top of that, but you think the league's themselves are structured similarly? They are untouchable. IIRC, they are recognized legally as "entertainment" organizations, thus protecting themselves in cases where integrity would come into question. They are protected, layer, behind layer, behind layer. Betting works because there is some degree of control that ensures the house wins more than it loses, by a lot. The short of it is, "Give them bread and circuses" and all that jazz. These leagues operate with total impunity. Again, it's not just because I'm a Panthers fan, but even if I wasn't and I watched Superbowl 50 without a dog in the fight I would walk away feeling like that outcome was controlled and influenced HEAVILY to where the Panthers were not given a level playing field. The same poo happens every Sunday to teams playing those blue blood franchises and ones with intriguing storylines.

I've said it a million times. The NFL loves storylines above all else, and their prestigious/blue blood franchises and big market teams are always a source for that, so they look out for the company line in their games. It's always been that way and always will.

This. But fwiw, I did see Chubb may be available via trade from Miami. I havent kept up with him since he got there, but i know he had a major injury nad a huge contract. Idk what he's looked like since he came back from said injury. Regardless, he's a NC guy, so there's that.

My church upbringing slid into my subconscious.

can we leave Corbett’s window closed? He awesome year one, but idk if it was the injuries or what, but he seems to have just deteriorated each year since.

BC was out front on a ton of pulls. And when seeing his athleticism in that capacity, it’s a thing of beauty… and they didn’t even have him as the top swing OL/utility guy when Hunt went down. Crazy.

im guessing they mean by a non-QB, because I’m absolutely sure Cam had more than this in back to back games.

Same. I mentioned it in the game thread, but that roughing call on Dowdle after the INT was also absolute horseshit and designed to put Dallas in immediate scoring position. fug the refs, fug the NFL, and fug Phallus, I mean Dallas.

It’s the Cowboys. That’s why. They definitely gave him the least penalty possible, when the risk he was running was a 30+ yard play or a touchdown had he not done it. The no call on Diggs for slinging Tet down was also beyond egregious.

And I know he didn’t draft them, but signing Rico, Renfrow, retaining Mays, finding Thornton, and although I wasn’t a huge fan of it because I thought we needed more of a coverage safety, signing Moerhig were all huge moves.

Also, I don’t see Princely out there as often on clear pass rushing downs. I’d like to see him get more opportunities there. That chase down on the run from the backside he had was a thing of beauty.

Had Diggs not grabbed XL on that double move, with the ball placement on Bryce’s throw, that was real close to being a TD.
