Probably the highlight of our December this year guys. Merry Christmas.

Our defense showed flashes of being elite because we have a strong pass rush, and we were showing teams looks they weren't used to dealing with. However, just like Joe Brady's playbook, teams have figured out how to attack our defense. Snow is better than Brady (who is the worst OC in the league), but he is still getting it handed to him by NFL level defensive coordinators. Talent wise, the most disappointing part of our defense is the interior line. Derrick Brown was supposed to be a lock, but he doesn't look anything like Kris Jenkins or Star Lotulelei did. At best, this is a defense built to play with a lead. But, they are paired with an offense that can't do a thing.

Cam still has enough in the tank to win football games. We need a new offensive line and new coaching staff, though. We should be building a line that an average QB can have some success behind. Taylor Heineke has played well, but part of the reason he looks good is the Washington offensive line is strong.

Jake was signed to be a game manager on an offense built to pound the football with Stephen Davis. Cam was brought in to be the savior of the franchise.

Realistically, if this happened, would Joe Brady just get canned? Phil Snow would most certainly follow Rhule wherever he goes. What happens to the rest of the staff? Does Chase Blackburn become interim head coach?

We've invested tons of resources into the defense under Rhule. The entire draft last year, our top pick this year, multiple picks next year (trades for Henderson and Gilmore). They looked strong early this year, but teams have figured out how to attack them.

He'll get a job at a lower tier school after Tepper fires him. Nobody that would hire him would pay that contract.

That was a bad trade, and he is much better than Carter. However, I don't think we're stopping anyone on the ground with our interior line performance. Brown is looking like a replacement level DT.

If we fire everyone, Tepper should hire a Team President or something to find a GM/Coach. Someone with lots of NFL experience. It's clear that Tepper himself doesn't know how to pick out a good coach, and I hope he realizes that now.

I agree, and I think this is why Rhule will be gone. There hasn't been any progress in 2 seasons beyond spending every resource on defensive players. And we still can't stop anyone.

There is no reason the Panthers should lose this game, so they probably will.

We don't even have intermediate threats utilized in our offense. What makes you think we're going to implement deep shots? Haven't you learned? The go route is only to create space for CMC underneath.

I meant trading them away. The draft selections have mostly been good.

Whether or not Matt Rhule gets a 3rd year, he's gotta be cut off from the draft pick supply.

Right now I'd say it's a toss up if he makes it to next season. He'll have to show a real turnaround in year 3 though.

Oh, and find a new OC.

Have we ever won a game because Rhule outcoached the other sideline? I'm not sure its happened. We've certainly lost quite a few because he's been outcoached. That includes losing to Joe Judge and Ron Rivera. Rhule isn't working out.

Cam's arm looks good enough to me. Our offense is so predictable, Mark Sanchez was calling out plays.

Cam is good enough to win this kind of game. Our coaches are just bad. Ron dominated them today.

And that soft ass defense on 3rd and 20 something.

SUPER CAM

Terrible 3rd quarters are too common with this coaching staff.

Snow needs to dial up some pressure and put Gilmore on Terry.

Cam is unbelievable. He's still got it.

That's only because CMC was benched due to the score, and we ran the clock out with the backups. He wasn't spelled that often when the game was closer.
