We coulda won 03 if the Pats didn’t cheat. Coulda went back in 04 if Smitty didn’t go down week 1. Coulda won 05 if we had our top RB for the NFCCG. We coulda been a dynasty. Except we didn’t, and we ain’t.

Find 1 coach in the NFL that would argue that this game doesn’t start up front. This line does not have the talent to compete at this level. Worst offensive line I’ve ever seen. Can’t win with that.

Article said he would practice with the team this week. They have 3 weeks to activate or shut down for the rest of the season.

Lack of precision? I’m too tired to shred this. Who would care anyway?

John Fox could actually coach a game. Give him a good roster and he’ll produce. His style was of a time gone by. He would play a vet over a first or second year player 10/10 times and twice on sundays. Saddled with Hurney drafts, Richardson’s meddling, and a punt being a good play, it’s a wonder Fox achieved what he did. And that…sadly… is our best Head Coach of the last 25 years. I feel gross for having to say it.

Paying for nothing is what we’ve already been doing. No additional pain here. At least the boil will have been lanced. The infection can drain slowly if need be.

They would never shut it down, and they can’t fix it. We’re looking at holding this turd barehanded for the next 11 weeks.

I would never suggest it as I too believe in the physical contact nature of the sport. There just aren’t enough professional level players on the line. It’s futile and frankly stupid to try to play this game without an offensive line.

You can go back even farther. Fox notoriously favored vets over young guys.

I’m scared for the kid. At what point do you say, it’s not safe to play? Our line is that bad. It’s not professional level. It’s really going to get someone hurt. Not if but when.

I totally get the line is terribad. Run blocking is easier but it’s still the same group blocking for a rookie that’s about to get 30 touches.

It’s a proven formula. We keep our talent on the sidelines.

Found the tape guys. Looks like fake news. Hopping on 1 leg cradling the other.

Not the point. You can’t get worse at a position group and then decide to lean heavily on that weakened unit. It’s crazy.

This solves nothing. Cant win without star RB CMC? Quick! Run on all the plays!

I don’t even think the Panthers think they can beat the Giants.

They’ve all been asked and answered. 1) Hurney does Hurney stuff 2) Coming off best season, rookies are cheap, DJ could get away. 3) Sense of stability, show of confidence, relatively cheap for starting QB. 4) The only one we really liked was selected 1 spot ahead. They drafted based on bpa and value. I believe those are the answers most folks gave over the last 6 months or so.

I think as much as we talk about it, having an offensive line that is literally offensive to lines everywhere, is the major reason our offense is putrid. The best play callers in history couldn’t scheme around 3 guys whiffing blocks every other play. Mike Vick couldn’t escape behind this line. Brett Favre would miss games behind this line. Cal Ripken would take the day off before he played behind this line. That one kid that had perfect attendance k-12 called out sick instead of playing behind this line. The saddest fact of all? Cam had a better line. He did. Srsly.

Wut?

Too soon. Flames approach.

Sam was sold on the idea he would NOT have to play hero ball. He was told he would NOT have to do it all. He was told he had a defense and a run game and WRs galore! 3 weeks in and they dump it all in his lap and send him out to the wolves behind that line with no CMC and a depleted D. Im stunned his play has declined…(sarc) Hell of a bait and switch.

Fify

That face is… frustrating.

That young man played a hell of a ball game. Max effort, couple of otherworldly catches were the only blemishes.
