Quote:Did the defense really play that well?  Cam had a clean pocket most of the day, and for the majority of the game it seemed like Cam & Co. ineptness was the best defense we had. 

 

Yuppers...  Carolina would have been blowing us out of the water if their wide open no defender in a country mile receivers didn't drop passes.

 

Honestly I don't know what to say.  I would love to say boy the run on 1st and 2nd down and leaving BB one down to make up 6 plus yards was a problem but he threw the ball 40 times.  The poor completion percentage and yards per attempt are abysmal.  I just don't ever like our game day plans or adjustments.  You move the ball on a 2 minute drill and don't use any of those plays again?  You put a rookie running back recovering from a hand injury on a motion flat pass when the Panthers are stacking the box for the run anyways?  Does anyone think they were fooled by the motion?

 

I mean seriously Yeldon's flat route wasn't crisp at all so of course it was a pick six.  I looked at that game on Nextgen replay and all of the routes would have resulted in interceptions.  No legal picks all the route designs were tight and short.  Only the TE released deep but there never would have been enough time for that play to develop with the way they stacked and rushed.
