I think @Zod made a great point during the game that this is what the defense looks like without a press man corner.  Cousins was able to hit his mark and throw the ball without much real pressure.  Without that kind of strong CB play, we needed our pass rush to win today.  They did not.

Then add in the fact that we were unable to convert 3rd downs for most of the day, it was just a LONG day at the office for the defense.  Sam, the WRs, the OL - our offense is just not good.  What has Rhule been doing?  Praying that CMC saves his butt?  No.  Rhule needs to get it together, figure out what kind of offense we are and do it now.  That's a lame ass excuse.  You either are able to execute, or you need to figure out how.

Is the season lost?  I don't think so.  Again, I'm going to be hopeful because that's just more fun than being a pessimist in general.  Then again when the Panthers screw things up, I've got other good things in my life so I guess that makes it  easier for me.

If you look at our third quarter stats for the season, it is insane how poorly we play in that quarter.

It really is and it is a well established pattern going back to last season too. Teams have been known to be second half teams and stuff like that but I don't know if I've ever seen poo the bed for a specific quarter quite like this.

I 100% agree with the statement that Jermaine Carter is not a starting middle linebacker. The guy is horrible. I have watched every game and actually been to one( Dallas). Each time I have watched I specifically watch him on defense. The dline will do their job but he will not, hence the defense giving up all those rushing yards the past few games. He is just out of position and slow to read and react. This team needs a right guard, left tackle, qb, and middle linebacker in the worst way.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
