Zero points in the 2nd half

Why, this has been Cam's achilles' heel since the start of the season. He chokes late in the game and it's all in his head. He got the one in Jacksonville but the game still had time to go. Defense closed that one out more the offense but that was probably Cam's most impressive win.

The rest of the games we came up empty. 8 misses for 9 opportunities now.

It's confidence. He doesnt really seem to bounce back after mistakes. Everything's going well and hunky dory and Cam plays like a beast. The second something screws up,tipped ball intercepted or a few 3 and outs and he changes everything about his mechanics and decision making. But if you noticed when teams take away the sideline throws he struggles mightily with consistency, hopefully it improves in the offseason.

That's what I've been telling everyone. I hope Cam proves me wrong, but I just don't see the "it" factor. Sure he wants to win, but he doesn't seem to be able to make the plays when crunch time hits. Some say he's a rookie and I should give him a break. I don't see it that way. He has all the athletic ability in the world, but for me there is something missing when the game is on the line. Sure the defense blows late in games, but Cam has had opportunities late in games and doesn't get it done.

Which would you think is more responsible for the offensive performance:

A.) A coach who has been coaching for 16 years

B.) A rookie quaterback?

If Cam melts in the fourth, as some say, then why doesn't Chud call plays that are both productive and also insulates the team from being hurt from within. I know you can't prep for Ints, but you can reduce the risk percentage. I'm not sold on Chud.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
