I've tried not to read into all that too much but yeah I agree with you Rhule has some Rivera traits playing favorites.

Look he's dropped plenty in his hands and I think he's checked out but that wasn't as bad as some of the others. All this being said I'm wondering wtf Marshall has done to get in the doghouse while Robby drops pass after pass.

High pass

In fairness Robby has hurt us but yeah it's bad all around.

Get the damn ball to Moore.

Yeah Robby is looking like he's checked out not good at all.

Yeah he's clearly regressed big time from those first three weeks. Playcalling and the oline isn't helping but it just doesn't look like we have much confidence in Sam.

First play an interception are you kidding? Was that Joe Brady's fault too?

That and our quarterback protecting the football.

The other causes were not the final play. Sam had the ball in his hands with a good opportunity to win and he gave it to the other team and they ran out the clock. It sucks but those are the facts and no amount of spin or accusations of hate or other tomfoolery changes that

How do you mean? Because of the games he missed? That's the concern. He made it three games last year and then he had the rest of the season and an entire offseason to get right. But sadly three games we are back to square one. The writing is on the wall and looking at trends and history of the league this only ends one of two ways. Either we adapt and use him differently or he could be playing elsewhere in a few years. There's few fairy tale endings.

Nobody said all. But taking care of the football is part of the job. It was no different for Bridgewater or Allen or Newton or Delhomme who had his fair share of interceptions.

Leadership is definitely lacking on offense. McCaffrey isn't that type of player he leads by example and his play on the field. This team needs some swagger. Instead we find ourselves playing scared and punting at home on fourth and short. Sad state of affairs.

He led the league in touches just two years ago and before the injuries last year he was on pace to repeat that. Three games in this season he was on pace to do the same. We can argue certain things but the numbers are there.

How many teams in the nfl win when their qb turns the ball over three times including the final offensive play? Not many I'd say.

McCaffrey has had a ton of carries in the last two years. You also have to consider his college career too. He had 632 carries for nearly 4000 yards and 22 touchdowns and 99 receptions for 1206 yards and 10 touchdowns. In three seasons. He's got a lot of miles for a 25 year old running back.

Not a setback...

As a sixth rounder it was a longshot but all we had. I'm just disappointed in our approach to the oline overall. With the worst interior we have fielded in years we now have one lineman from this years draft. There will be more opportunities but for the time being Rhule and Fitt blew it.

Yeah we basically ran our expensive sports car like we were in a destruction derby and now we're like oh sh*t. Sounds familiar huh?

This is reasonable we do not disagree. But shitting on Hubbard now is just foolishness. He was the main reason we even were able to sustain drives in the second half. He is not part of the problem though he does have things he can work on as a rookie. We're going to need him this weekend for sure and at this point quite a bit the rest of the way if things keep trending the way they are with McCaffrey.

This and the silence from the team makes me think he reaggravated the injury. The hamstring injuries can linger for some time.

Chuba Hubbard had 134 yards but he's Ted Ginn? Everybody is a scapegoat to the Sam Darnold jock sniffers. Yet you talk about Jets fans. Hilarious.

Dalvin Cook is back just in time for our matchup? Oh lawd.

Robby should've caught that third down pass anyone with eyes knows it. But we still had chances 2 minutes and 3 timeouts. We had so much confidence in Sam we elected not to let him try for a fourth down at the end of the first half resulting in points for our opponent and later in the game we took the ball out of his hands until the Eagles finally got on the board again. Panthers fans just keep reliving the same mess and telling themselves it's different this time.
