Kliffs first 15 plays are predictable, don’t even have to play the run, just hit the gas on all out pass rush. We can outperform defenses with Kyler, but not this defense and not with colt! It hit harder, stronger, well so did Green Bay. Looked like boys against men early.
I’ve begged for a balance run game attempts, and I don’t mean 50/50 but not 4 rb runs to 17 passes in the first half with colt McCoy. Just saying remains fundamentally stupid play calling, expect 0 yard incompletions, interceptions, sacks with colt or Kyler, would like to see Kyler get a chance to start a game earning play action.
Cards tackle trying strip which allows huge yards after contact, cards just skipping off ball carriers time after time. Panthers got the turnovers and then just trucked our entire defense - just stand on the side line pumping your arm to get them to blow the horn as they pass by!
really the way Green Bay and panthers beat cards physically, bugs me. I mean we can but we don’t, don’t think it’s a trap, or JJ. AJ seems to have checked out after the last game criticism, or maybe he still weak from covid? But he hasn’t seemed fully invested before that.
it came down to quicksand, colt specifically but really holistic. Panthers earned it, their best game all season - but should we not prepare for that every week? Cam juiced them, but I’ve fanned on through much worse. Chins up, ready to take a blow!
