2 Weeks In. 2 Weeks where one of Fhule's Boys single-handedly blew the game.

Again, there are so many problems across the board, it's hard to pick just one that cost us...  but I pulled the lens back just a bit and it crystallized for me.

Last week, Elfein single-handedly killed multiple drives, including the final one where we had a chance to score a TD and put the game away, with his mis-snaps.  And on defense, CJ Henderson commits one of the worst, boneheaded penalties in the endzone I have ever seen which would've been an INT for Xavier Woods, that thanks to CJ, turned into an easy TD from the 1.

This week, instead of elevating Shenault or putting Shi back there, who was originally the backup to Roberts, he put his wife's favorite Cowboy out there in Chubba Butterfingers Hubbard.  Chubba gives up a fumble on the opening kickoff where they're already in FG range, and they go up 3.  I still support Robbie, but he was put in a horrible spot on that 3rd down play the next possession, again, thanks to great coaching, and was left to try to navigate himself through what looked like 8 defenders after catching a no-hope screen.  He fumbled in their FG range again.  Down 6-0 score.  Down -2 in the turnover game.  And as we know, you rarely ever overcome losing the turnover battle.  

We lose by a FG.  Meanwhile, Chubba continued to go out there and appeared to fumble again on another kickoff, although I have no idea why NY didn't challenge it after it was ruled down by contact.  

These are simple things, where there are far better options at these positions where these decisions are made well-before gameday and Rhule has decided the outcome before the game is even played with his favorites who happen to be bad at football.

What’s to support with Robbie?  That was weak af.

The fumble was, but it was a horrible situation and a horrible playcall, and then horribly executed...  he was 1 vs 8, and as soon as they swarmed, unless forward progress got called I already had a feeling it was gonna happen...  and I would've felt the same way if it was DJ, Robbie, Shi, or any other receiver.  The odds aren't good.

And Robbie still makes plays, but again, for the most part is misused.  Can't say the same for Chubba's sorry ass.

Rhule is the loser.. His coaching staff are losers.. The player can't outplay bad coaching..

Yup. We've seen what DJ, CMC, Burns, Chinn, & Shaq are capable of in the right roles, in the right environment.  They've effectively neutered every impact player with their inability to maximize strengths.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
