Liked. Big props to Darnold, didn’t think he had it in him

liked  the Panthers QB coach, he is a miracle worker, a helluva lot more than Brady

disliked. Trying to run Hubbard East West, can’t do it, too slow

disliked  Rhule or Brady favoring his draft pick over Freeman, 

disliked. Brady’s 4th and 1 calls and that end around at that time, Jesus.

Liked..............at the end of the first quarter the momentum of the whole game was going with the Texans but by 5 mins in the 3rd quarter the Panthers reclaimed it for the rest of the game.........also the QB sneak for a score......

Dislike.......using small backs for short yardage plays between the tackles..........ugh!

LIKED: We did not go conservative with our play calling. Trusted Sam to put it away for us, and the fact that he did that. 

DID NOT LIKE AND HAVE NOT LIKED SO FAR THIS FREAKIN SEASON: For some reason we are totally against spreading the offense out in the red zone. We do not have the line for these tight formations. Especially if we actually plan on running the ball straight forward.

This was the OL's worst game thus far.  We did better last two.

I think some of the bad OL play was just great defensive playcalling.

Lovie Smith is a savvy DC.  As soon as CMC went down, he dialed up the defensive pressure on Darnold.  Smith knew Darnold just lost his safety blanket so he went after him.  And, for a few series, the tactic was pretty effective.

LIKED:  The team's resilience when CMC went down.  Several players stepped up in the second half to keep the offense moving along and secure the win. 

 

DISLIKED:  The soft, prevent-defense playcalling on Houston's last drive of the first half.  It's a rookie QB in his first start.  Blitz him EVERY PLAY !

There may be a bit of that, but 3 out of 4 sacks were BEFORE CMC went out.
This was the weakest DL we've played by far,  according to PFF.  So either PFF is ass, or we played worse and I'd say  both.  

Sam may have been taking more time....it felt that way.

There still weren't  large holes to run through.

There's a reason Pat Meyer and Rhule chose Elflein over Daley.   

DT Blacklock tore up with a sack, a QB hit, and a FF.  He had a 30.2 pff last year.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
