Our offensive line was put the Rams lighter defensive front in the weight room last game. It'll have to be the same for this game too if we want to have a chance. Got to run the ball and win time of possession or else it'll get ugly. They moved the ball at will on us last game.

We have an entire season that tells that is exactly how we lose.  The formula to win is a clear science at this point 

we run.  We hope it is ugly.  We sit back on D and hope to capitalize on mistakes.  We ask Bryce to make about 2-3 real throws in favorable setups.   We hope in the 4th quarter we are in a one score game. 

your formula is how the score would be 30-0 at the half 

It’s a tough way to win games but it is what it is.  You are dependent on the other team to not have a good days. Do we want a chance at another miracle or do we just want to lose it out the gate?  Dave is going to try to win I would think.  That’s the whole point.  Not some Bryce fantasy being forever wished 

Over the last 8 games, Rico and Hubbard, combined, are averaging 69 yrds/game and have scored exactly 2 TD's. They have also fumbled twice. That is not a formula for winning.

Hopefully Hunt will be back. I don't have confidence with Corbett playing.

At this point, if Hunt can't come back, I would rather see Curhan at RG than Corbett...

Hell, I'd rather see Bryce Young there a this point.

I mean it is.  Thats literally how we have won most games or had the opportunity.   The formula to win gives you the opportunity.  It doesn't guarantee it lol.  

Thats how we beat the Rams.  Beat the Packers.  We had opportunity Saturday. 

Putting it on Bryce from the jump is the definition of a losing strategy.  Even most Bryce stans know this.  You just what to argue

Here's the breakdown on every 1st down play through the first three quarters Sunday.

Run plays went for: 0, -2, 0, 2, 4, 4, -1 and 5 yrds. 

Pass plays went for: 20, 5, 11, 15, 0 and 13 yards.

Canales' problem is he loves to run it on 1st downs. Everyone knows it so they stack the box - and he still runs it which consistently puts them at 2nd and long which is a failing strategy.

I don't think the Rams will allowing Tmac or Cooker to get behind them again on 4th downs next Saturday. If they want to win, Bryce will need to step up.

I do agree they will need the run game but I wouldn't depend on it for the win.

The funny thing is I would have expected you to want Canales to put it in Youngs' hands. That would prove that he isn't the guy once and for all. Especially given the decision that will need to be made over the next several months.

So, I took a look at this from a pure stats perspective and added a little context. I don't have snap by snap individual grades but essentially I compared the games that Curhan played above 20 snaps(or 50% of overall offensive snaps) to Corbett's 4 games started at OG. 

RB Yards Per Carry to the Right Side(not including QB): 5.10 for Curhan. However, the average ranking of the rush defense faced was 13.7.

RB Yards Per Carry to the Right Side(not including QB): 3.47 for Corbett. However, the average ranking of the rush defense faced was 8. 

It's would be interesting to see a more detailed/graded breakdown of them snap by snap. I do think there is at least some evidence Curhan might be more effective from a 10,000 foot view.

Not exactly apples to apples, but I do think the rebuild is ahead of schedule.  We can almost treat this postseason like a bowl game. Get the experience. Learn.  We don't have the horses, especially on defense to win the super bowl. You never know what can happen, so def don't squander the opportunity, or take it for granted, but I do think we can make this very productive by seeing how Sean McVay goes after us. 

I also think this is a really good look for us at offseason needs, and what it's going to take to get over the hump and join that next tier of teams, especially with our division looking pretty crowded. 

Boy would it be nice for Bryce to have a good ball game and shut up some haters.

That's sort of the way I look at it. Let the young guys at least get a taste of playoff football. They beat my projected 4-7 wins by 1, so that's a surprise and a good sign. Focus on continuing to build a credible NFL roster across the board in the offseason. Get another good draft in the books.

lol….you are suggesting if Bryce shows he isn’t the dude one more time and has one more bad game…..you would finally change your stance on him?  That isn’t true.   It would just be excuse making.  He is what he is.  Another game isn’t going to change anything. 

I want the TEAM to take advantage of this luxury and grow and learn from it.  Not for it to be wasted.  So I expect and support Dave to keep doing what he has been doing

Our formula to win is easy. We either win by 3 or lose

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
