1. Perfect Gif to sum this up. 2. he’s wearing jellies. Yes!! 3. In the Jerry years, even in down years, we still had an identity. We had an owner who had himself played in the NFL. He knew what a football player looked like. Hurney took a lot of swings and struck out frequently, but every so often he would bust a Barry Bonds home run. We were never once this completely devoid of talent. I’m trying to find confidence in Dan as a GM, but I know who his boss is. Same with Canales. Evero… God only knows. Even the best electrician won’t be able to wire up a panel with a pair of needle nose pliers and a steak knife. It’s all just a complete show right now.

I’m still completely confused. What happened to trying to keep the other team’s offense off the field when your defense showed that it had no business on the field? When they were down 14, they played like they were down 21 in the 4th quarter. Down 14, or even 17 in the first half is not insurmountable by any means, but the play calling sure looked like it. We WERE (past tense) getting 1st downs, until… This was Canales feeling himself way too much IMHO. When the desperation passing game to second and third stringers wasn’t working, he double downed. I thought he himself said we would be primarily a punch you in the mouth running team? Not once did he try to slow the game down. He tried his best Payton impersonation. Well, we were landing liver shot after liver shot. We took haymakers, but we were doing damage on their core, until ego kicked in and we wanted to show that he could rain down haymakers as well.., only every time we got countered straight to the jaw. DJ played the defense like a fiddle. Why wouldn’t he? He’s knows the scheme inside and out, left, right, sideways, upside down, center and askew. He knows tells and tendencies. He knows the calls and formations. If there were any carryover from the Reich offense… guess what… he knew that too. Any chance of the D doing anything with all the circumstances involved was a pipe (crack pipe) dream. DJ headed up film study all. Week. Long. So yeah, our only prayer of it not being completely humiliating was to ride our horse and keep wailing away at that liver, and then pride took over. It looked almost narcissistic…

Oh I understood exactly what you meant. Trying to tell T his defensive dream won’t work and we need to change… yeah…

Painful loss. I loved the way Luvu played, but I’d want to get out of this team too.

No Shaq to communicate plays properly and there we go. Horn is not one to blow a play. That’s how you know communication was an issue.

Dude might as well be drawing up plays, which I’m sure he does. Unless you have just the right guys, a 3-4 gets straight exploited in the run. A 4-3 can at least compete if you’ve got at least jag-ish type guys. This is all just so bad. The offense isn’t as bad as they showed today, but the defense is abysmal in every aspect. Evero can’t draw up a blitz that gets home to save his life. They are all completely lost, which is to be expected, but this is some next level, whatever dignity you regained, is completely shot to shi*.

Defense got the biggest beat down I’ve ever seen in a Panthers game. I don’t understand how we continually have everyone injured. In this type of game, if we could have at least tried to keep their offense off the field it maybe wouldn’t have been completely humiliating. They had no answer for Chuba and he was getting us first downs. Then they went full moron and kept calling plays the defense was begging them to play. Then we couldn’t buy a first down and it was a wrap at that point.

Trade back to somewhere around 10-12 for their second and next year’s 3rd. I go back to the 4-3 defense. I go DE that plays the run like a boss in the first, DT/LB/center in the second, whichever looks most promising. I’d like to take a flier on a small school QB who has an accurate, big arm in the second or third. Rest of the draft BPA, as long as they’re big dudes. No tweeners. It has never worked out.

Perhaps this is the year he can reform his rep of being the overlord, and maybe con a good staff in to signing up.

They got cute. Instead of sticking with the run with a RB that was gashing it, they wanted to showcase their air attack, but it wasn’t there, repeatedly.! And they still stuck with it. Incompletions on first down put us behind the sticks. It’s like they refused to run on 1st down. Andy was off. The whole line was off, but Chuba was still beasting. Dude could have run for 150 yards and 2 TDs easily, and the game would have been competitive. On first and goal, he got 1 touch. Something was off. There was just a weird vibe. Energy wasn’t there, like something else was going on.

That out to the sideline is just a throw he does not have and should never be attempted again.

There is so much damn weird sorcery I’m trying to process right now.

Love that from JC. LOVE IT! Heart. I don’t care about the repercussions. That’s the F this BS the defense has needed all day.

We would have lost anyway, but if Chuba is the focus, this game would have been at least competitive

Is Tepper wearing a headset? This just makes no sense. Did these dudes go out and get loaded last night?

They have no answer for chuba…. He gets one touch on first and goal.. Am I missing something?

This is so baffling to me. They were beating these dudes up running the ball. Right up the gut. Chuba goes the distance…. They haven’t found a way to slow him down yet. He could easily be at 75 yards already. And then they go full on air mail? Did Tepper insert some plays he wanted run? This is so opposite to the last 2 weeks. Something is very different.

Your RB is running at 5 yards a clip. things are getting out of control and you desperately need to slow it down to gather yourself and give your defense a break, and you completely abandon the run…. And everyone on the halftime show is straight laughing at us.

This is what no Shaq looks like

And not a hold on their center?

Tough sledding with a new LB play caller, as expected, and it shows.

Just run the ball, please. What kind of play calling is this?

I’m staying the course today with the offense. I want to see if/what halftime adjustments are made. It’s a foregone conclusion that the bears are putting up 7 each possession. If they recommit to the run, the game is still in reach.

Nah, got to give him a full season of hot garbage before he can wear that label. It’s just not going well right now.

So you can lead with your head again?
