Of maybe he should have been allowed to keep playing because nothing was actually wrong with him...

I didn't get the game but checked the scores. We won. Yay! Apparently, we've still got a shot for an early exit from the playoffs if we win next week too.

I know we don't have the guns to go much further, I would just like to beat the Dirty Birds. After that whatever happens is a plus in my book.

With our defense we can upset any team in the playoffs. We've already got four wins (Patriots, Bucs twice, Packers) against the field. Getting back the few remaining pieces eligible to return on offense will make a big difference.

We still don't have an NFL receiver or QB. That hurts.

Believe it or not there are plenty of receivers in the NFL worse than the ones we currently have. I have been at the games. There are receivers open on every play, but the QB's have had very little time to find them. Or should I say Simian and Book had very little time. My wife even pointed out open players several times against the Panthers Sunday asking why they weren't thrown to. At least Taysom has the ability to move and buy enough time to find one on occasion. As for QB's, there are teams out there in worse shape than us with Taysom under center and a defense that can keep him in the game.

Just to put a bow on the Carolina game ...

Cesar Ruiz ... you gotta do better. I've never treated PFF as the gospel, however in this case it's quite accurate (38.1 run blocking). His play has been below avg all season.

Don’t follow PFF but all I know Ruiz does not pass the eye test. Every Olinemen will occasionally whiff on a block but Ruiz regularly will not engage / recognize a defender to block until the defender already past him.

It’s a good thing Taysom & Ian B are mobile QBs.

I’m waiting for Nick or Deuce Windham to break down his play. It will be good to see other assessments of Ruiz in those trenches.

But you’re right, so far he looks lost.
