[Rhule] "Now when I say Sam's not playing well what does that mean? It means the offensive line's not getting it done for him, the running backs aren't getting it done for him; everyone on offense, every receiver, every back, every o-lineman, every tight end, their job is to help our quarterback play well. And we are not getting that done." https://www.panthers.com/news/the-day-after-matt-rhule-looking-for-a-redefined-offense If this is their outlook on Sam, then he's not the franchise QB they were hoping for.

The Fins could have stayed at 12, taken Rashawn Slater and used their first next year on Kayvon Thibadeaux. Instead they traded up for Waddle.

What if Darnold was the one holding Gase back?

See, at times I think he can look the opposite, over-confident. That he's looking to sling it too much, searching for the big play. I like Zach but he definitely has an ego. And that is ok, all the great QBs do. But he needs to accept he is still a rookie, and he doesn't need to show the world he can make all the throws by his fifth game in the pro's. Show a little humility, you're not Aaron Rodgers, take the short throw and live to play another down.

Yes. In a re-do, I might go in a different direction with picks 23, 34, 66 and 86 though, and I like AVT and Moore.

She was loud. Everything was loud, especially the annoying stadium announcer and his 'And that's another Falcons first down', followed by some screeching sound and the rare sound of silence. With 90% of the crowd being neutral, they probably feel like they need to generate an atmosphere, even if it does come across as forced. In soccer, as you guys call it, the crowd noise is more organic and reacts to the action on the field, rather than the promptings of some guy with a sound mixer. I'm getting old.

Heading to Barrow and Banker for 3ish.

I'm not sure which bit is my favorite part...the video footage, the commentary, the celebrations or the dwarf casually past at 1.30. I think it has to be the dwarf.

AM or PM? When I lived in London, I used to watch some games in the Hippodrome in Piccadilly. Think a couple of that crew will be drinking in that Elbow Room pub on Sunday morning. If you do go, post on here, or DM and I'll shout you a pint of lager-ale-bitter-stout-beverage of choice.

On Saturday..

Probably going here pre-game. Close to the stadium and looks ok (i.e. it serves beer). Not worried about food and stuff, eating is cheating.

Right. Like it's one thing to suck on the field, but their attitude off it, stinks as well. Guess the o-line won't be hitting the Islanders game together with Zach, any time soon.

It would be the right move to sit Wilson for a while, and the other rookie QBs. Jets and Jags were never going to compete this year so there is no rush. Chicago actually have a good roster, but Files gives them more opportunities to win now than Fields. Jets should let some vet take his lumps behind our sh*t o-line. When Saleh and LeFleur ever get a clue about coaching in the NFL, bring Wilson back in. Use our two firsts next year to finish the o line.

After drafting Wilson, our next picks were 23, 34, 66 and 86. I like Vera Tucker and Moore, but we needed to come away with more offensive line talent than just AVT. Pre-draft, Douglas didnt get involved in trying to sign Corey Linsley. He was happy to roll with McGovern and Van Roten as starters and that mis-calculation is costing us now.
