That is a possibility, however, you still need to take a chance before its 21-0 and the game is pretty much over! We need a legit #2 receiver
offense is costing us this game no scoring and leaving the D in a bad position on both of carolinas TD's
If we are gonna lose any game, this is the one to lose....if we finish tied at 12-4 with Baltimore and New England, we still get home field advantage by virtue of our 10-2 AFC record.
Well, they are running routes... and TJ does look downfield before the check-down. They're not calling two yard routes.. that's just all the defense is allowing right now. Probably won't last the whole game since Carolina does have a very inconsistent defense that gives up leads.
I disagree... when you "take a chance" and force the ball into tight coverage, you get turnovers. The routes are there... and eventually this defense will give u some yards and points.... just have to stay within striking distance.
If our receivers can't get open against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, Kubiak has some explaining to do.
O.K., I'll say it, looks like the Texans of ole. It is not on Yates alone; they all look bad, and the play calling is awful. Does Kubes think we have the 14 pt. lead?
I am not saying throw it into double coverage, I am saying throw the ball into man coverage. There is no way every receiver is double covered. 21-0 deficit is not within striking distance when our D is on the field 5-6 minutes at a time.
Well, we don't have amazing one-on-one receivers right now that can generate separation on their own. That's why we need play-action to get the defenders to bite. If they're not biting, our recievers are guardable. They need to establish the running game.
The defense was something to hang your hat on... clearly it's being exposed these last couple of games. We can't play a full game of defense. This is why I always felt the Steelers, 49ers, and Ravens defense was always better than ours overall. We do some things well, but our secondary isn't as good as advertised. They're a top 10 offense so it's a given for them to score but we've made it way too easy for them this first half so far.
No, you need our run game to do something other than fumble and get 2 yard gains. Play action does nothing when your run game is not doing anything.
This is what I was afraid of. Cam gets out quick on everybody, but he is was playing against vets that could come back. Another test for TJ who hasn't played terribly. Rackers... come on man.
