Correct. Boy wouldn't that be a "bad feelings" game. Interestingly enough, Ben Johnson probably has very little fire about that given that it all happened before his time there. Verus the fire he has for his divisional rivals.

So, basically your entire argument is Sam Darnold??? So one data point is now a "storied history?" Speaking of hyperbole.... 95+% of these "oh you'll see when he leaves he's gonna be eliteimtellingyouhewillbetheguy" episodes end up with crickets shortly thereafter because those players rarely excel elsewhere for players that the majority of the fanbase wanted gone. That is very rare.

If the defense held, the Panthers would be in Chicago tomorrow, correct?

Surprised no one in here said he's coping.

You also have to be aware of your faults and Dave seems very slow to recognize and fix those. Hence why we are so often ill prepared and make poor in game adjustments.

The last two starting quarterbacks (granted, one of them just lost the division to us).

I don't mind if he stays the play caller but I wish he bring in an experienced play caller prefably a former coach to help with game playing and game days because Idzik isn't it. I thought that would be Caldwell but I honestly have no idea what he does, shows he's still employed with us but I never see him

You went hyperbole in the thread title, bruh. Propagandist??? WTF. He is a homer. We got a ton of them, Reddit's full of them, etc, etc. They all might be somewhat to very annoying but J. Stew has a pass that none of them do. He gets the Luke, Olsen, Cam, TD, etc pass of being one of us and also LEADING us. Also, the Huddle should really be more attuned to going after former players in the post-Dan Morgan incident era. We all may have varying opinions of Dan of some of the poo that gets thrown his way is absolutely unconscionable. Like the head injury jabs, etc. We have no reason to be doing that poo to our own. /rant

"Homer," is the better term. On an off note, you don't have to be Dave Canales to be a lifelong fan. Get it?

Here is a little smoke about it. Doesn’t name us, but we have inquired, trust me

This isn't a good Bills team, though. That's the rub. I think if Sean Payton really pushes to run the ball down their throats, they can easilu beat Buffalo. But....I don't think Payton has that in him. He is too arrogant about his offensive playcalling prowess to just sit back and play 3 yards and a cloud of dust. The NFC is brutal. You have a ton of exceptional defenses but only one elite QB(Stafford) and one potentially elite QB(Williams). Darnold and Purdy are just trying to not fug it up. Purdy can catch some magic but IDK if it can be sustained the whole playoffs. Darnold is just waiting to implode. He has been in the bottom quarter of QB's in the NFL statistically since the 49ers comeback win. That is what is gonna be interesting to watch about Houston and Seattle, if they are able to overcome having such bad QB's.

"Trash" is very much hyperbole, I would never "trash" Stew. I must admit, however, that "Homer" is the better word, especially with the realization of what's happening in America during these times. Sensitivities are up.

damn thats cold

NFL has been setting up the Josh Allen super bowl narrative for a while. It will either be bills Rams or bills Seahawks in the super bowl.

stolen from the reddit: also stolen:

J. Stew is mostly homer and also isn't ever going to be a neutral party for a ton of reasons. On the Panthers payroll, ACTUAL fan of the team, experience as an NFL player, etc, etc. Leave the man and his opinions alone and don't trash a former Panthers great for something so trivial. You don't have to agree. He isn't trying to brainwash anyone.

The “news” media is in a sad state. My opinions on what news media should be vs. what entertainment media should be is very different. I don’t need objectivity in my sports media, and I don’t really care about any teams other than the ones I root for. I was also very vocally critical towards the end of the season about how stupid our local media was for every week something went good for us talking to our coach and team like they had already clinched the division when there were many weeks left. However, I don’t need a member of the Panthers media team to fake any objectivity or hold back compliments from Panthers players just because I feel some type of way, and I do think it would be better for the team’s brand if our former players in the media threw away the mask of over objectivity. Other former players for other organizations don’t, but since we’re just the little ol Panthers we have to accept that? No thanks.

I mean its arguable hes not a starter (I did not say high level starter) but hes deff good enough to be a back up raging isn't gonna change being stuck with him, just hope for the best.

No hes a career panther whose loyalty to the team makes him a lifelong fan..... hes just a homer

It's divisional eve, so let's get some early thoughts and predictions in. Predictions Buffalo 24, Denver 23 San Francisco 20, Seattle 12 Houston 27, New England 13 Chicago 31, St. Louis(yes) 28 Thoughts - Josh Allen has probably never had an easier path of opposing QB's in his NFL career. Nix and Stroud/Maye are all very young, very unproven in the playoffs and haven't been in the same big game situations that Allen has. I am not saying this is his year, but I am not envisioning many years in the future where he is going to avoid Jackson and Mahomes. - SF vs. Seattle is a fun test of two extremely TO prone gunslingers. I give the edge to SF, despite their elite defense because I suspect that Darnold will be unable to recover from his mistakes the same way Purdy sometimes is. Darnold is averaging 174 yards passing and has 0 total TD's against SF this season. - CJ Stroud was exceptionally bad versus the Steelers. 3 sacks, 5 fumbles(2 lost) and 1 INT. Maye also struggled tremendously with 3 TO's. Which defense will be able to take advantage of the young QB's more effectively? I am leaning towards Houston and their +17 TO differential defense(2nd in the NFL). - Bears/Rams just has Rams blowout written all over it. Sound familiar? We also were able to make St. Louis(YES) have to fight and claw for a victory. In a gunslinging battle, that obviously favors Matt Staf.... Caleb Williams has amassed an incredible 7 4th Quarter Comebacks and Game Winning Drives in the 2025 regular and postseason. And these aren't Bryce Young GWDs. He has seemed to have an extra gear that is hard to fathom considering he had the lowest CPOE in the NFL during the regular season and an insane -14.0 CPOE in the comeback win versus Green Bay. There is just something about this kid. Bears win.

I don't think its lazy its a lack of chemistry due to the pairings being in a blender all year and not having enough RHD

Oh if its Freddie they are gonna push our sh*t in

I'd take a two fer with him and Panarin. Although as stated Elsewhere I think Schenn and Tuch make more sense for the post season.

I like him too, but I'm still skeptical of his take. It's too early to be saying that in my opinion, based upon lingering questions over three seasons. Depending upon which stats/metrics you give credence to, Bryce is still bottom third of the league.
