This team goes into a shell when they're winning because of that Indy playoff game.

Leaning loss in this game, but Reid has surprised me before.

Carolina may run us out of the building.

No they go in a shell bc that's always the way Andy's been

Maclin is very important to this offense, and he has been mediocre all season.


Very disappointing to say the least.

Yep. I said Dec, as long as were winning he gets more rest and closer to a 100%.

But we will get our asses handed to us tomorrow IMHO. We can't stop the run and especially with the best athletic running QB in the league that we cannot afford to put a spy on because of our weak running defense. Oh we will attempt to but it will be ugly. With that said, who will attempt to be the spy or will it alternate depending on the down situation?

We went in a shell in that game too. The opposite lesson should have been taken from that game.

I agree, and saying he's been mediocre is generous of you.

FREE TYREEK HILL. It's time to unleash the Cheetah and let him run like the wind. 15+ touches for him tomorrow, otherwise, I don't see us coming out of there with a W.

Maclin still gives teams something to think about. On a big 3rd down play, teams are going to try and take Maclin and Kelce away. Much better knowing we can fall back on Conley in that spot. I like the potential of Hill, but on a must need play, I would rather be in a spot where the defense is giving us Conley vs. Hill/Wilson.

IDK what's going on with Maclin. If you just gave him Hill's production it probably wouldn't look so bad. I expect him to be fired up when he comes back.

Panthers D-line is nasty and we won't be able to run initially BUT their 2ndry is crap and why I think IF and this is a BIG IF our o-line can actually pass block just long enough for AS to get the ball to Conley and Hill, one of these guys will have a break out game if not both.

This will be a game where the pass will open up the run IF our o-line can hold them just long enough to get the quick underneath stuff off to Hill or whoever which should back them off their blitzing and force them to adjust their defensive scheme. This approach will substitute for our run game in the beginning. With that being said, look for Alex to rush for 80 plus yds or more regardless of our pass blocking.

Bottom line: If our pass blocking can't muster any time whatsoever we are screwed.

Mark my words.

We'll be fine.

Should be a game for Kelce to really shine

Only IF the pass blocking is there.

Your theory please, I need encouragement here.:shrug:

Honestly unless Houston is 100% I would not active him period. I want years out of him, not a chance to be 75% for a few games and get reinjured. Unless it is the playoffs. Sit him.

Otherplayers and coaches need to step up.

Wisdom. :thumb:

Marking.

Hell, his ****ing contract is gonna be up by the time he's well !

I got a bad feeling about this.

If Ware is back then I think we are okay without Maclin. It sucks but Conley, Hill and dare I say Wilson, will pick up the slack.

This team struggled offensively last year without Maclin. Let's hope Hill can make up for his absence.

REALLY hoping that there is far more focus on targets to Hill vs Wilson, coverage permitting. Maybe give O'Shagnasty more attention than Harris as well.

TrashCanDick West is killer on those screens

It's gonna be fun to see how well Ware/West/Kelce do against Davis/Kuechely/Shaq.

Yeah, right. We're going to get our dicks stomped.

we'll be fine.
