Stunning how little talent Carolina has at receiver.
Agreed---it is really visible against Denver's secondary. Other than Olsen, these guys all stink. Kelvin Benjamin will make a real difference for them---of course, they did win 15 this year already.

They are closest to 2001 Pats, really. That was a very, very fortunate team---think about the special teams TDs, int returns, tuck rule. I love them passionately, but not an overwhelming team.

Similarly, this Denver team wasn't even the best team on the field in their game vs Pitt. And yet, here they are...
Just said this to a friend, 2001 pats also won a game where David Patton fumbled in overtime and was laying unconscious but touching oob and touching the ball so pats kept possession

Carolina needs some plays to get positive yards on first down. Denver is doing what they did against us. Third and eight is a losing situation.

Cam needs to run more but be smart with contact. He can pick up yards at will.

That right there was the story of the game. Carolina and Denver both traded three and outs and punts and Denver netted 20 yards of field position. The special teams mismatch is enormous.

You know, if Toyota wants people to believe they build cars that are fun to drive they could try building cars that actually ARE fun to drive.

Well, Benjamin is hurt and is a stud
A lot of people have said this, but it's really revisionist history. He's a monster to cover in the red zone and could develop into a very good NFL receiver, but his big rookie stat line was the product of being thrown the ball a lot in an offense that was constantly trailing late. He racked up a lot of garbage time catches and TDs. Still has a lot to learn with route running, and he'd fit right in with these clowns in terms of dropping the ball. He was great at that.

He's easily their most talented wideout but that's damning with faint praise.

ANOTHER Criminal Minds show? Sure, just throw it on the heap with all the NCIS shows. WTF? Can't Hollywood come up with something original????

2015 was literally, and by far, the record for the most scripted TV shows made in history. So, yeah, they can come up with a bunch of original things.
