I'm no jake fan, by any means, and I am glad we won, and they lost, but I don't think Jake lost this game. Bad play calling had alot to do with it.

I would agree but the fumble on the 1st and Goal on the 1-yard line was probably on him and cost the Panthers 4 points (a FG versus an almost sure 7 points with their running game). Granted, Drew made his mistakes too but at least they came early.

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it. I thought I was hearing things. Its not
Every game u hear an announcer use that terminology. If he would have said passes, instead of balls
Then I think it would have sounded less disturbing.

My man Jake is still an excellent QB. I know he is struggling right now, but he is in a particularly difficult situation right now. Yes, he has a nice running game going, but those receivers??? Steve Smith is a great receiver, but that is all he has right now, top that off with John Fox going ultra conservative, and guess what... I do kind of believe this is the last run for Jake, I do see Carolina taking a QB in their first round next year, but I guarantee that Jake is not the real problem at this time.

You run the ball on 3rd and 15 yards against the highest scoring offense in football?? Zero confidence in the QB. I couldn't wait for the second half and us to have a lead. Jake is gone after this year for sure.

No hard feelings for Jake but what goes around comes around.
Agree Shrimp Smith is the loser here. Jason David, Josh Bullocks and Harper also among others with our previously inept secondary were the ones who put him and some other receivers in our division that are not "all that" on the map and made big paydays thanks to them. Put them up against a decent secondary and he especially is only average.
