So Wilks, who got shafted in Zona is trying to lose his first game? Come on man, you can say a lot of things about this game but Wilks ain’t trying to lose.

I dont know anything about anything anymore with this league, man.  Nothing is as it appears.  

Again, if we're trying to win, why in the hell would you only have three forward passes through 45 minutes of gametime?  And with a guy who is 2-0 as an NFL starter and was allowed to pass downfield in both of those games and every other game he has played in...  but today, he suddenly can't pass beyond the LOS for three quarters.  I don't care if you had to start a punter at QB, you aren't playing to win of you don't even present the threat of a downfield pass for 3 quarters.

I like Wilks.  I don't know if that directive came from the top or what, but that isn't playing to win.

I just found out you can buy Delta 9 gummies locally and don’t understand that at all (but certainly don’t mind.

While the opening game-plan initially looked like it was going to be good….it did turn pretty suspect in terms of if winning was even a desired goal.   Also the game management as a whole was suspect.  I mean keeping all those timeouts going into the half?

not saying he was actually trying to lose.  Maybe the priority was to keep it respectable knowing it is all a giant shitshow.  And a brewing one (see Robbie)

Yup... 3 pass beyond the LOS through 3 qtrs and not even attempting to drive for a score with a 1:30 left and 3 timeouts in the first half.  It became clear we were just tying to get in, run clock, and get out of there with minimal damage.

And again, I like Wilks and I can't imagine him making that decision, but man, there's no way you run that gameplan thinking it'll lead to a win.  I snapped on robby during the game thread, but in hindsight, I think he was bucking at what we were doing because he knew that's what it was....  I don't think it was about touches, i think he snapped because he knew we were playing not to win.

It's a fuging shame that we're putting these guys at risk to purposely lose.  It is embarassing.

All the close calls went to the Rams and PJ takes a clear head shot taking him out of the game . Can the front office not fine the officials or remove them ?

[CRA]

Carolina WRs - 7 total yards lol

I bet even in the legendary DeAngelo wildcat game they topped that

We are the NFL's bitch franchise.  Always have been, always will be.

No joke, if I wasn't so lazy, I would look up the stats from when Kendall Hinton started at QB for the broncos.  I am almost certain he attempted more passes past the LOS than we did today.

Yeah I was just thinking that we are the laughing stock of the NFC south, but in reality its much broader than that.

Wait, WTF did you say? Are you cheering a loss? That’s so hypocritical of you. Pretty sure you get annoyed when there’s draft or tank talk so it’s really surprising to see you cheer a loss.

Where did I cheer a loss?

Yeah, I mean the WRs had 7 total yards.  I mean to risk your body every play you got to try to win.  

Not sure how I feel on Robbie at this point and reflecting on the game.  Probably need more info. 

Robbie/DJ etc do know they can get some stuff done with DJ.   Wilks in his presser seem to not believe a forward pass was something he really wanted to do unless forced into it.

Fourth quarterback injured behind this line. At this point virtually everyone should be available for trade so we can build this oline. I don't know what the record for lowest number of passing yards in a game is but today had to have been in the area.

119 yards today. Panthers have won with 26 before.

You are starting to get it. We are not stopping this train wreck. The only hope is to keep it from getting out of hand.  We may see a few unproven players step up and show something worth keeping them around.
