No rhythm on offense today.

That could have been expected coming off a bye week with a Rookie QB, following a lost. Not the first time that's happened in history.

Cam was leaning back every time he threw it today even if there was no pressure in his face, and the Offense never recovered after that Olsen fumble, both of which are inexcusable.

So who do you blame for the Offense never waking up, when the whole world knows they can do better?

The QB? The OC? The Head Coach?

In this case, I blame the Head Coach. Rivera's the guy who is in charge of ENERGIZING the team. If they start off flat, and remain flat throughout, it's all on him.

This is a reality check...This team WILL NEVER win if the defense does not get it together. When the offense have a great day, the team loses. When the offense have a bad day, the team loses bad. The Panthers DO NOT have a DEFENSE. U can make all the excuses in the world. It does not seem to matter WHO this team plays. The opposing team have a great chance to win than the Panthers.

I've blamed the Defense all year.

Today was NOT the Defense's fault. It was all on the Offense. How do you blame the Defense for a 3 point outing? Sure, Tennessee scored 30 points, but that was only because the Offense never kept the ball long enough to keep them off the field.

Today, it was all on Rivera for allowing the Offense to play DEAD from start to finish.

we've had dozens of flat games over the last decade.. one reason Fox was fired.. if this is the only one we have, I'll be happy.. I doubt it will be under the circumstances of new staff, young team, injuries, and no offseason..

if Rivera allows this to become a trend, he will be fired too..

What genius decided to run all those screens against a defense featuring Will Witherspoon? Dude is known, above anything else, for completely pwning screen passes.

'Spoon was killing everything. O Line not allowing down-field throws. WTF happened??

How bout this:

These guys are highly paid professional atheletes and coaches!

There should be no hang overs from previous game losses or bye weeks!

They should show up - fired up to play every time they walk on the field!

There is no excuse for lack of preparation or discipline!

You can't "mail in" the effort... coaching or playing!

if for no other reason than....

They are highly paid professional atheletes and coaches!

This could be the best post of yours I have read and completely agree. I feel like the throws he made leaning back was a mental thing. The titans got so much pressure I don't think cam was fully there mentally. That is something that hopefully will come with experience, he seems like a guy who will eventually be able to keep it cool when everything in a game is going wrong.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
