Held to 19 points against the undisputed worst team in the nfl at home. The oline actually wasn't quite as bad as we had prepared ourselves for. Certainly not in comparison to the Jets. Darnold was only sacked once. Playcalling needs much more consistency if we hope to win eight or more games.

Still OL. Offense's biggest problem today was the line, not Joe Brady. Brady could do better scheming around the weakness there, yes. But there were too many plays disrupted by the OL sucking, and despite McCaffrey's good YPC we couldn't get much going in the run game early to open up the passing game and take some of the pressure off of the OL in the pass rush -- McCaffrey willed his way to a lot of those yards.

Seems like everything is designed for Sam to get the ball out in 2 seconds which does go back to the OL and the WR's catching in pretty tight coverage. He needs to scheme up more YAC plays if this is the way it's gonna be

Coaching, plain and simple.

Brady - terrible play calling, especially in the red zone and second half

Rhule - punting twice from the 33 and putting his FB experiment in the game on a crucial play from the 3 yard line resulting in a TO.  Also for not solving the kicking situation, resulting in a missed XP.  Easily left 7 points on the field.   Also got out coached in the second half

Oh the other big glaring thing is even though after he settled down Darnold looked good, but he was throwing to the primary/first read on every play. Even the check downs to CMC were scripted. When he has to start going through the progression or is facing a good secondary he really needs to stop staring down his first read.

Consistency, finishing drives and ball play calling. I know Darnold is still building chemistry with his receivers, but Brady has to find a way to be confident that Darnold can connect with all those receivers. We have too much talent on offense to have only scored 19 points against the Jets. Yes, it is a win, and I'll take it, but we were up 16-0 (should have been 24-0) and was rolling in the first half. The second half was a loss, luckily the defense just held on. Panthers have to play for 4 quarters! Consistency!

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
