If Canales and Bryce Young lead us to a division title and a playoff berth only one or two trolls will be remotely complaining. 99.9% of this fanbase just wants to see the team back to winning football when it matters most.

How quickly we forget the abortion last Monday night

Yep. And hell, I'm arguably one of them. I get that some people really don't wanna hear this. But at this point, I'd tell 'em to stick their fingers in their ears and go "blah blah blah, I can't hear you" because that'll be just as effective as any of the arguments they're making here

You do not want to bounce from the ACC if you ever want to be relevant again. Your 2 loss season in the ACC is a 6 loss season anywhere else. Realize that

Run. Run. Run. Call a play that gets a WR behind the defense for a one read and throw for the QB. Those were well designed play calls and coaching with excellent selling by the WRs. Bryce just needed to throw it without messing up like a top ranked HS QB. Less than 4 completions per quarter as orchestrated by Canales. Tet and XL both had 1 reception each and Coker had 4. He wasn't slinging dots. He was checking down to RBs and TEs while waiting for Canales to get the receivers open for him He's a PG and not a QB

lol at the goalie VR

I have no idea what the future holds for our RB room. But Chuba is a great guy and a talented back. He had a gritty game today. He has heart. Some other highly paid players could and would have gone into a shell after what he's been through but he was highly motivated and put in some serious work and was a tremendoush help to his team. That's a leader. Kudos to him. We should not discard Dowdle though. We will need all hands on deck if we want to make a run at the division. Let them both touch the rock and whichever one is the hot hand on gameday you ride that wave.

Eh, he's catching them napping because they know he can't make those throws when they properly defend it. That doesn't seem sustainable for long term success, nor is it a recipe for being able to make those throws when the other team knows you have to make them. It basically only works in a game where you're able to run the ball at will, if you aren't doing it, the defense doesn't need to worry about overloading the box thinking Bryce can't make a throw on them.

Reflects my attitude toward today's game...

Kinda like the Chiefs last year. They won every single 50/50 type game. That's what we're doing this year. Winning all the close games and dominating the turnover margin. History says that's not sustainable. The law of averages catches up eventually.

To be fair that's what Canales has said all along that he just wants his QB to make 5/6 big time plays a game and just take all the easy stuff the rest of the game

All valid

Oh I totally get what you're saying, and maybe I'm wrong, but it's just really felt like that all year long to me. When we have 3rd and 5 and we have a pass play, one of 3 things seems to happen. 1. Bryce stares T-Mac down and throws it to him no matter what. 2. Bryce takes the snap and immediately throws a quick pass to the opposite side of the field T-Mac is lined up on. 3. Bryce goes through 2 or 3 progressions before throwing, all to the opposite side T-Mac lined up on and then throws that way too. I can't ever remember seeing a team with such a clear cut #1 WR who runs theirs obvious 3rd down passing situations like this. They usually pepper that player with those targets, or if not, he's still the first read in case he's going to be open and they throw it that way if he is, if not they then progress through to the other guys. That's why I think they're dictating to Bryce on most pass plays if T-Mac is an option on it. It's like the coaches are trying to out-smart the other team's DC by saying "they think we're looking at T-Mac here, so I'm not even going to allow Bryce to look at him and make them waste defensive attention on him while I'm always having Bryce look elsewhere."

Players stepped the fug up. That and Derrick Brown.

This is wishful thinking. I get that you don't want it to happen. Neither did I. It... doesn't... matter.

it would be perfect timing for chuba to come on and carry carolina to a playoff or wildcard game and then have rico healthy again

Jalon Walker, he's having a decent season, but the other DE Atlanta took has been a bit better.

You know, that is one thing about this. He is catching them napping right now basically. They dare him to do that and don’t really take it seriously. I am glad it is happening because they will have to change how they defend us if it keeps up.

The TD throw to Coker was a dot and one of the best throws I've seen Bryce make. Credit where it is due to both of them that was a beauty.

Chuba is the more complete back, but Rico has the home run ability.

The Panther wins are just so weird. Stafford has a NFL record going not turning the ball over. Walks into BOA and turns it over 3 times with a meh defense missing half the roster Bryce has 2 throws over 10 yards all game. Both on 4th and short. Both for TDs. almost impossible anyone could predict how we find a win.

My biggest factor when it comes to Canales is that he genuinely seems to learn from his mistakes and has shown real, visible improvement and growth. That's not always true in professional coaches.

I think the Defensive guy from Salisbury that Atlanta took after us

Chuba has better vision and short area burst. Rico is the more violent runner has the better speed.

I dont understand you guys, we have a QB that has proven himself to be a bottom third of the league guy and you guys are against upgrading him why?? We have an offense that is ready to be one of the best in the league being held back by mediocre QB play. We ran the ball 40 times today, Bryce tossed it 20. Did he play a good game? Yes. Could we have a better QB on a weekly basis? fug yes.
