I don't think Phillip Rivers is the answer...

Yep. Bottom line, you DO need a good o-line or your QB is going to struggle mightily. We're in week 9 now. Competent teams know they can win a game in the opponent's line is bad. And a QB is going to suffer from declining production trying to make something happen. Its happening to Cam and Rivers. Neither one is their most recent game. They're both closer to what we've seen earlier in the season...

Rivers has some horrible games because he takes chances. He can throw an interception because he actually releases the ball as opposed to dropping back 20 yards, getting outside the pocket and then still taking a sack.

The result is still the same...an L...

The Dolphins have been a good team for years. They just never can go from good to great and playoffs. They're one playmaker away usually.

He needs a few more weapons.. he is a solid vet now and is game as fug. I think his O line is great but pretty fuging slow... they are just huge... Fluker is a goddamn tank and King Dunlap is like 6'9 330. They play against great pass rushing teams... yeah they def miss woodhead.

Rivers will bounce back next year with weapons reloaded.  He's got a pair of good TE's, some good RB's, some underrated WR's and just needs help in front of him on the OL.  OC Reich is quickly moving up the ranks of the NFL coaching ladder.

 

Bounce back?

How about this year.

Next 2 weeks Pats and Donkeys come to town.

Win those games and the Bolts could be looking at Home Field in the Playoffs.

They could get hot... but if they finish 1-1 here then I would still be surprised.

 

They'll have to outscore an offense that is on fire without D Thomas.  Running for 200 yards a game in the last two weeks.

 

Then play the Panthers who have a lot to be fighting for with Miami and Buffalo both biting at their heels.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
