It would only be fitting for Steve Smith to have a career day playing against us.

The other Smith with a TD

That TD may seal this loss, and there is just under 10 minutes to play in the 3rd. We should no signs of being able to stop the Ravens offense. And the offensive line is unable to protect Cam or open up running lanes.

Heck of a catch by Benjamin, but the call was correct. Go to him again Cam!

Looking very likely that the rest of my Sunday afternoons will not be spent watching football. No heart in the defense and the offense is just dumb.

Just embarrassing play the past 2 games. Have no idea what to expect of this team next - the good Panthers or the pathetic ones.

We miss Hardy a lot and today really missed Davis. Klein spent the day confused and a step to slow. We have no offensive line and there is no fix for that. The defense could get better if we get Davis back and if by some miracle we got Hardy back. The secondary is way worse than last year as we have one safety that can tackle but is to slow to catch someone to tackle them and one safety fast enough to catch people but couldn't tackle a weeble wobble.

Our offense was killed by the way they handled Smith. I have heard multiple rumors that the disrespect that Gettleman showed Smith was a big factor in Gross hanging them up. Gross calling it a career likely played into Wharton calling it quits. This cost us our top two offensive linemen. I was never upset they let Smith go but Gettleman has to know that the way you do things as a GM matters almost as much as what you do. He showed a complete lack of respect for a guy who has given up his body for years for this team. The players take notice of things like this and it can influence our ability to sign players.

We can right the ship but it will be tough. I am not sure we can make the playoffs behind this line. I was hoping Turner would be better than he has been because all the numbers told us that Bell, Chandler and Silatolu would be terrible.

We knew Cam was going to take a beating but having no running game to speak of only magnifies it. I think we get Alexander back next week not sure how much of a deal that is but until we get healthy at Running back I fear we will continue to struggle. Everyone blames Shula but it is hard to call plays when you are down so many offensive weapons.

Wasn't surprised we lost but not like this....woof. We have some major problems, no run game, pass block or run defense. We need to get a win next week

The Bears will be as desperate for a win as us, woof.

We are in real trouble unless something miraculous happens with the O-line. We have looked very bad these last couple of games. I wonder if another team out there that has every one of the OTs as UDFAs. We have not spent a pick on a tackle in the last few years and we had to know Gross was close to done.

I think Eric Winston is unsigned. Do we have any money to sign him? He got cut by the Seahawks before the season started and started for the Cards last season, hes the president of the players association also

D-Will has a sprained ankle

I think we do but I am not sure he solves our problems. We need at least 3 new guys at LT, RT and LG. Then we are not exactly killing it at RG or C right now. Spending money on a LT who will take a couple weeks to get into game shape may be much. At this point, unless you can do it with your guys, I think you take the season as a bit of a loss and play for next year. Sit Cam so he doesn't get hurt and start DA and put Turner in to gain experience. Then next draft shoot for at least 1 OT if not 2 and find some money for a LG.

What are some FA's out there?

Post #159 » by **JDR720** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:41 pm

BenJarvus Green-Ellis maybe? He would be a solid pickup
