The Jets seem to always be in this type of discussion.  The Lions look bad, too. 

As for Atlanta, the secret to beating them is apparently to let them get ahead to the point where people turn the game off, concluding there is no way even they can blow the lead they have built up.  Then cap it off with an onside kick that struggles to go ten yards, so their hands team will stand around like government employees watching the ball in amazement.  I don't blame the Falcons fans who are asking "what the he11 did they talk about during the timeout leading up to the kick?" 

No nans, I think they should absolutely fire the coach for that blunder

I am not even mad at the current situation, rebuilds are always this way. What I am disgruntled about is all the decisions that led us to this point, particularly the near decade we wasted a generational franchise QB we had and have fug all to show for it.

I can't imagine you don't have Boston and Whitehead as low spots.

Douglas was a good out of nowhere positive that could end up with a job going forward and Chinn is what everyone hoped so that's good it just sucks that we can't field 2 S's without one being a catastrophe. 

Whitehead gets some unfair shade for coverage miscues but he has been in position to make plays and not getting torched by a RB like Shaq did yesterday. He definitely hasn't been good but he is just above the "naughty list", IMO. Wouldn't take him much to descend to it, that is for sure.

Same with Boston. He's been out of position and made standard Boston plays but he hasn't been so bad as to warrant automatic inclusion on the "naughty list" IMO.

Getting upset over anything this season is just stupid

Yesterday's game was exciting in the second half. The defense made some plays and blew some others .

Robby Anderson continues to impress.  Moore had a way way better game. 

But Teddy looked too timid and made costly mistakes. His strength was supposed to he in decision making... Ah well.

There's next always next week.

This.

not mad at all either because I saw the writing on the wall in the 2nd qtr and went and had a fine day out-n-about checking the score on my phone.. my expectation were high prior to the season - I though maybe 8-8 with a 10-6 dream scenario.. after week 1, I saw enough to lose all expectations and not get any hopes up at all this season..

you ready for a statement that will make most Huddlers heads explode - I was more sad/disappointed at the Patriots loss than the Panthers yesterday.. I didnt expect to feel that way, but just found myself rooting for the Pats n Cam during the game

Teddy played poorly because we allowed 5 sacks, 8 QB Hits and a bunch of pressures. Teddy has always struggled when he gets pressured. It isn't anything new.

Its that way now, but I have been watching the NFL for a long long time and more times than not when a team is 0-5, 1-6 or whatever its tough to not lose the team and the train goes completely off the rails.  Sure miami last year pulled it around but thats not the norm.  See Panthers 2019.  We stopped totally trying to win.

that was with rivera who there was no hope with.  who knows what will happen but we feel a lot more like miami last year so far.  last years players knew the situation, this is a different situation.

I just ignore the haters. Today's valley is tomorrow's peak. Things move in cycles.

True.  He moved around the pocket quite well at times anyway.  His ball placement seemed off too, but he still had some great throws.

I just wish we could build a quality, consistent OL around a QB.

Whatever man. It’s a huge contract for a guy who if you watched his tape from his 5 starts last season was propped up by elite play from Michael Thomas. Cam would have been paid LESS money on a one year deal but instead we have Bridgewater and his noodle arm for 3 years.

no cam wouldn't have, not here.  he wanted a commitment.  we didn't want to give him one.  news flash - not one other team in the nfl did either.  he's playing for basically vet min.   we couldn't go with allen or grier.  they both became demoralized.   you can't evaluate the other players on offense with either one of those guys.  you pay 20mil a yr to see what you've got - and to a high character guy who will be ok being replaced by a high round draft pick if that's what happens.   i think the future looks a lot better than it did.   

[mav1234]

It is important to note that $20 mil per year is not a lot for a starting QB.  The Panthers wanted someone they knew could run the offense for a couple years.  

I dont think they believed Cam could do that. As much as I like Kyle Allen, he clearly couldn't.  And Grier... lol.  And I am happy for Cam even if I wish the situation was different.  I dont think he would look so good playing for us.

Because this is about building  a system, the brass needed someone they thought they could rely on for a couple years... more if it worked out... Teddy makes a lot of sense there.
