We ran 16 times today, coulda turned 10 of those drops into 10 rushes for 40 yards and a couple field goals at the least. 

Agree but if CMC does come back and get 29 Rushes like Cook everybody will go crazy overthat but the Vike just did it to us with a less than 120 percent healthy RB

I get your point to an extent but have you ever even played football before? There is a reason why they only play one game a week and watch players snap counts. The defense was just out there way to long today, i was praying we won the the coin toss so we could receive the ball cuz i had a bad feeling about defense on another drive. These guys wear down over the course of game at a fast rate they dont gain more energy. It was just bad situation for our defense.

What was defense's excuse last week then? Eagles D was on the field longer than ours and STILL made the plays to win the game. When you're the "strength" of the team, you make clutch plays in clutch moments, which we have not two weeks in a row now.

And I've played football all my life (since pee wee to Elon), I know all about being gassed. But that wasn't even the main reason. It was more missed assignments, letting receivers literally run free for big gashes all 2nd half. Lack of communication, misreads, players confused, etc. Elite defenses don't have those breakdowns in clutch moments. What's the point in spending the majority of your assets (literally last year's whole draft) on defense when they continue to choke? Sounds like a waste of investment if you ask me.

It was the same thing last week. Lol its a clear difference in the way they have performed late in games compared to the first 3 games. The offense has regressed, defenses wear down at a faster rate compared to offenses over the course of a season.  If you think they are bad now, wait till the second half of the season if this  offense cant turn it around.

When he has time he has been the worst Qb in the league i never seen a qb that when he get more time to throw actually get worse at his job . He does it every game  so the blame the o line is valid but Sam is also trash . He get no passes he’s not a rookie 

As I said.  People are blaming this squarely on Darnold.  Your post is agreeing with EXACTLY what I said

Not buying the got gassed part either…these guys are pros…they get paid millions, yet they wilt in Q4?…they have got to do better

but let’s not forget we are missing Shaq, Burris and our #1 draft pick…the players n the field in their places are not as good

    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
    • I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
