They shouldn't have to look both left and right and straight up all while the ball is in the air. Again, credit to Sam for giving him a chance, but it wasn't ideal. I simply pointed out the placement wasn't ideal, and it was a great catch by Robby. But, you got it coach.

Like most of us do when we see your name.

Robby had to turn his head to both sides and had to readjust to catch it. I give Sam credit for giving Robby a chance at all, considering the pressure he was under, but I didn't see the throw as some drop in a bucket. It was heavily contested and took an incredible effort by the receiver to catch it. Now, it should've been a big penalty even if it wasn't completed due to the blatant PI, but that's another story.

That was a pretty horribly placed throw. Incredible catch by Robby. Also, you can't get much more pass interference than that, but luckily I quit counting on the refs back in 2015.

Perfectly stated.

Yup. He has been playing scared all day. Real strategists and tacticians running the show here, I tell ya!

Which is why holding onto Rhule regardless of whatever else takes place this offseason is discouraging... starting to feel like he's one of those dyed in the wool dumbasses.

I'd be interested to know the dynamics there, for sure. Because Tomlin has remained while continuing to win, and they consistently excel on roster building and talent acquisition and development. Meanwhile, Tepper in Carolina...

If Sam had, at minimum, not fumbled the ball going forward, it would've been a first down based on where his body was, so Cam likely makes that a TD, not just a first down. But seeing as how Sam and our staff are habitual fug ups, that's what we got.

Honestly, if the reports were true that Tepper was one of the part-owners leading the charge to get Tomlin fired, I wouldn't be surprised if he and Colbert don't exactly see eye to eye, considering how that situation played out.

If he possesses the level of intelligence he is reported to have, there is no way he has watched this season and can rationally arrive at the conclusion that there will be any improvement. And that is why it feels like just a huge middle finger to the fanbase.

Look at that gutsy run by Sam giving himself up 3 yards short of the marker on 3rd and 6. Pussy.

Yup. And he's right, "they both can do that," but one was so great at it, he split his scapula in half while doing so. Definitely the guy for the job.

Also, the more I have watched of him, the more I realize how wrong I was. Jermaine Carter is not a JAG. He just sucks.

Decided to watch some, being its the last game of the season and was hoping to see BC and Brown today... Good to see we're still throwing 3 yard routes on 3rd and 12.

Miller has absolutely looked this season, like the worst interior OLineman I have ever witnessed. But last season we had Michael Schofield and Chris Reed, as well as Miller. Schofield didn't start, but last I checked was starting for the Chargers this season and looked very good. Reed looked like the worst interior lineman we had fielded that I could remember, and he ended up starting with Indy this season. Interesting to say the least.

Apparently rolled ankle in last practice of the week.

Mike Oxyooj has also been very popular for years. His cousin Mike Oxsmall is not as in-demand, but sources say he knows how to get the most out of what he is given to work with.

Miller was not on the injury report this week. Trent Scott is expected to start in his place, though Deonte Brown is also expected to play. That will mark the 13th combination of starting offensive linemen in 17 games for the Panthers. PANTHERS INACTIVES QB P.J. Walker S Jeremy Chinn S Sean Chandler LB Kamal Martin DE Jacob Tuioti-Mariner DE Azur Kamara G John Miller So, looks like Brown will play but Trent Scott starts... ahh, college coaches, when will they learn?

Simply put... this. And again, it makes no fuging sense to put us behind every other team with a vacancy if this is Tepper's mandate. No OC worth their salt are gonna wanna come here. So what? We wait to fire him until March? May? Late February at best? It makes no sense. And again, outside of the maybe the Rams OC, neither of the other guys are inspiring. And I dont know why any of them would want to come into this situation regardless, other than maybe the hope that they will be inheriting the chance to be HC again - and judging from Gruden and BOB's previous tenures, that would just be more assured dysfunction. Tepper is horrible.

It just makes no fuging sense from any perspective you look at it from. Why would any of those guys come here and work for a lame duck coach, as others have said? And not just any lame duck coach, but a control freak and egomaniac? And why would you want to come coach THIS offense he built? Ewww... And why would Rhule want to hire an experienced NFL coach who he can't fully control or bully like he does his cult of peons that have depended on him to make a living for the last however many years? Why would he want to hire a guy who actually knows how an experienced NFL coach and staff should operate, so when he's clearly in over his head - as he is - then they know too. And for us fans... if we know Rhule sucks and its just a matter of time before he is canned, especially if Glazer's report is true - why would we want a failed HC and uninspiring hire in guys like O'Brien or Gruden? So, once Rhule is fired, they become the interim and then possibly the permanent HC so we're stuck in another cycle of dysfunction for however many years after Rhule? And that's not even considering that Glazer's report calls O'Brien and Gruden "Rockstar OCs." Ummm... They are anything but... so if this is Tepper's view, my God, we are in more trouble than we thought. Tepper just seems to reveal himself as worse and worse as an owner with each passing week.

Came to post this.

An educated hunch?

Already knew it was Tomlin before I clicked on the thread. And I agree... he may be my favorite coach in the league because dude is 100% real, through and through. And funny enough, Tepper was one of the Steelers minority owners that wanted him gone lol... pair that with his Rhule hire and that tells you what Tepper knows about football and what kind of judge of character he is. fuging imbecile... should probably stick to screwing retail investors out of their life savings and such.

I agree about Rhule. But as far as Brady, hindsight is 20/20. I wanted him because that LSU passing offense was so explosive and dynamic. Yes, I know they had otherworldly talent, but it was clear in watching them that guys were being schemed open. Yeah, Chase, Jefferson, and TMJ could get open on their own, but they didn't have to. So much of what they ran was routes getting other routes open, and it very much looked like a more explosive version of what Brady learned under in New Orleans. To further that point, New Orleans is currently running a whole receiving corps of borderline NFL talent, and yet, their passing offense is still and always will be as long as Payton is there, light-years beyond what we have - and its because of the scheme. They make the defense make decisions... defense have to give something up every play, but they have to decide what that is. So, taking that back to Brady, that looked exactly like what he ran at LSU, so I figured thats what we were getting here. But, after seeing what we ran for over a year and a half under him, and now seeing the offense without him, and combining that with what we know about Rhule apparently being a dictator both in scheme and personnel and all things trivial... it's clear this offense was not Joe Brady's. This offense wasn't LSU. This offense wasn't New Orleans. This offense was and is Matt Rhule's, and what we saw while Brady was here was Brady trying to fit that square peg into a round hole... he was given the ability to call plays, but within the strict confines of what Rhule expected. And now with Nixon that has been crystallized.
