Well Im pretty sure someone was supposed to run a check there... Thats why the Beason injury was so bad... no one to command the defense.

Exactly. The DC calls the play in the huddle, BEFORE he gets to see how the offense lines up. The MLB is responsible for calling an audible if necessary.

The offensive line honestly wasn't that bad on the whole. It was just a case of when they were bad they were VERY bad, but when they were good they were VERY good. That blitz pickup on the first long play to Smith was a thing of beauty. They overload blitzed that side and Stewart picked up the excess player and they formed a nice wall to give Cam enough time to recognize Smith being wide open.

You don't have 400+ yard days through the air with a rookie QB without your offensive line playing pretty decent on passing downs. Cam held the ball too long in many instances but on the whole, they gave him time to do his work. I didn't count a ton of plays where Cam was dead meat before he touched the ball the way we saw last year for example.

Chris Gamble played a hell of a game today against one of the best WR in the game today. Props where props are due here. Additionally, props to the safeties for providing help over the top.

The defensive ends were VERY strong all game. We were getting pressure with three down linemen which I haven't seen since Rucker and Peppers were on the same unit. Our intermediate pass defense and defensive tackle play were HORRIBLE today and we allowed Beanie Wells of all people to hit the hole with a full head of steam. Our tackles were getting pushed under the boards on every running play and if our linebackers didn't clean up it was an 8-10 yard run on every play.

Surprised nobody has said Legedu. Guy didn't even look like he was trying on half of the plays. Specifically when Newton threw up a fade for him in the endzone and he was basically trotting towards it instead of running.

Edit: Just seen an entire thread dedicated to his suckiness. Good job huddle.

I agree with most of what you said Vagrant. Only disagree about Wells. He had some very good hard runs, but our DTs didn't get blown up consistently like against the Bengals in preseason. Even being pretty much their only RB for the whole game I don't think he got 100 yards. He did pick up some good chunks at times, but he got stuffed a lot too. And those plays were mostly thanks to the DTs.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
