Re: the eyeball test

Hubbard was a difference maker for sure

That safety was also blowing Kyren up with the hits... I saw at least 3 devastating hits

The TOs killed us and the CB play on third downs and two huge 4th down TDs... they called a good man. Give them credit. The Panthers are not a team without talent. I see people mentioning the 10.5 favorite stuff ... maybe the Rams shouldn't have been favored by 10.5... that's a huge number.

Stafford was off period. Look at that first int... lets say it doesn't get tipped that pass is geeting int anyhow .. he was going to force that ball into Parkinson and he absolutely positively was not open and of the TEs is the least athletic. He never should have thrown that ball. Its ok to run the ball down there!!! The spectacular catch by Nacua... on what planet should he have thrown that. Nacua was not remotely open and was trailing the defender. That was all Nacua. Stafford had a very poor game for his Standards and given the ridiculous amount of time he had to throw the ball.

I agree. The OL overall was not their issue(s) Sunday. McClendon continues to impress on the right side. I was very skeptical of him entering the season, and he's proven me wrong.

Their passing game production to the TEs wasn't very good- 5/8 for 31 yards combined.

Hubbard was CAR's MVP of the game (124 yards and a TD).

When you turn the ball over 3 times (the first one was a fluke, but still) and allow 3/3 4th down conversions- two of which go for TDs- you're going to have a bad day. The fact that the Rams were still driving for the winning score, inside the CAR 25 with less than 3 minutes left, I think says a lot about them and what it takes to beat them.
