Know who owns Mike Evans? Bradberry. Sure could've used a proven vet these past seasons instead of throwing money down various positional toilets.

Bradberry coming back would have elevated the entire team this year. Sucks that he didn't come home.

Not being close enough to commit pass interference on any of those plays was embarrassing. If you're gonna get your ass beat, at least tackle the dude before the ball gets there so he can't walk in for a TD.

I agree and neither player is equipped mentally or physically to shut down a HoF WR by themselves.

I legit don't get it. Is it a pain tolerance thing? Is it because he's young and doesn't want to risk it? 

I'd bet his father has an influence. This league doesn't care if you're injured. If you're on the field, then you're ready to play. No excuses if you play bad trying to "help" the team.

If JC Horn played, we won.

3TDs to Evans killed us ....all three were too easy.

Those two CBs are trash.

Darnold played well, not great, but well.

We had no running game...and man, that Vita Vai destroyed our inside more often than not...How come we don't have a NG like that?

You're right. And unfortunately, there aren't many nose guards like that.

The one person away was a good HC.  That soft ass defense is what lost, that left the quick out passes open all game, and then not putting someone over the top of Evans was just the icing on the cake.  That was an embarrassing game plan and situational coaching. 

Darnold had high moments and low moments, but failed at what I needed to see him be a legit contender for our QB job next year and that was leading the team to a win on his shoulders.  He had numerous times to do it but failed with bad throws, delays of game, and other mistakes.  He did make some really good plays, that escape on the second to last drive, all three TD throws were really good, but he also underthrew a couple balls really bad and one of those was an int.

The loss is 100% on Wilks and Holcomb.

Thats the thing with players, they gotta be on the field to play.  You can say all you want "If we just had them in the game".  Not a huge knock at Horn but dude has now been injured for about 3/4th of his professional career.  If he comes back and gets injured again I will then label him as injury prone.  If you can't depend on a guy to be on the field its no use using this argument, thus making it pointless.  If we can't win with a couple starters being out we have no business being in the playoffs anyway.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
