We have to keep the foot on the gas, this game is not over yet.

BOOM

CW is getting better every game and the wins will be attached to his growth, so far so good.

BOOM

Gordon is sticking out today.

I get he doesnt have a lot of time, nothing is just black and white. I always watch several breakdowns of Caleb every week and one of the flaws frequently is holding the ball to long. He is getting better with less every week, he is a rookie.

Im not speaking of every play but he already has twice in the last series, he could have dumped off but was looking downfield.

It appears to be a home crowd, noicy.

Its not a good OL but CW holds the ball to long, he could help the OL by getting rid of it quicker.

The offense only looks good in two minute offense.

This game will end with who scores last. We are not quite ready to dominate yet until CW is more comfortable. TOs will decide the day and Jags dont have a pick all year.

Their stopping the run that is a key.

He had a dumb off and just held the ball to long/

Last week Carolina scored first, I think we won.

When you say bust that makes me think, (out of the NFL) but he still could end up being a NFL starter and not be a top 10 QB. If a coach can get him to play well as a rookie I only see him getting better. If the season ended today, he would be rookie of the year. Now I think Caleb will be a better QB in the long run if that was your meaning.

To keep things in perspective, Caroline had the top rated OL in football. We got 4 sacks and they are still 1-4. Stats can be decieving.

The intangables are with us but this can easily be a close game. Its usually a handful of plays that change a game. TOs-penalties- poor tackling.

I think the fact they will be distracted from the the possiblities of their homes could be destroyed could affect their play. My annual Thailand flight (20 hours) in the air takes me 5 days to adjust. I think it is more mental than physical when you look at prime shape for the players. They will be playing at 930 in the morning on their body clock. Their is no data on wins or losses on leaving early or going late but logic tells you it will affect them.

Im curious to see where we're at once we start playing in our division , it should be ready for prime time at some point this season. (like this week)

After the bye we have a ton of people coming back. Kiran will be ready to play, Bates will be ready, Borom will be off IR,Jacob Martin is coming back. I also think Homer is coming back, not sure if he was season ending IR. I think Waldron was establishing a finese offense that may be the high flying passing offense but CW is not ready for that yet, so he metered down to fit CWs skill level at this time. Adjusted the running game because it wasnt working in its present form. He didnt run a good offense for two yrs and then all of a sudden became dumb when he got here.

This is worth watching, thru 4 games Panthers OL only gave up 1 sack and 7 pressures all year.

All of Pitts offense woes are not on Justin, bad OL, inconsisent running game and questionable play caller. He only has two quality recievers in Pickens and the TE. The good thing is we will get that 4th rounder for him. They have the same record as we have so if we want to compare QB play, end of the year gives a better picture.

Jags can score but I trust the defense to keep them in check. It will come down to who scores last at the end game. We have already played 2 better QBs than Lawerence , Stroud and Stafford so that doesnt scare me. The overseas effect is the unknown. Defenses travel not the same with offense. All we have is the first 5 games and they are 1-4 and cant stop anybody. Their last 2 oppontants were Colts and Texans and they gave up 24 and 34, that tells me our offense should score some points.
