I get it, but again, while I know it all comes back to T-Mac because he's who I'm saying needs more targets, I'd be saying the EXACT same thing if we had the exact same player as T-Mac, but he didn't go to Arizona and I wasn't such a huge fan. If we had a weapon like him, and then had the same game plans and play calling as we've had so far, I'd be saying the same stuff, 100% of it, not one difference.

Thanks for the perspective.

100% But again, I know I keep going back to T-Mac needing more targets, because he does... My frustration is more about the overall play calling than my guy not getting more looks. If we were throwing downfield more to XL, Brycen, Horn, the TE's, whatever, I'd be more accepting of T-Mac's lack of targets. But when his lack of targets are then creating more 1 and 2 yard rushes, or 5 yard passes that hit the ground before even reaching the target, then it's an entirely different issue for me.

I cannot root for any Seattle team but was pretty sure Darnold was better than the pundits at this board gave him credit for. When he loses in the playoffs it will start again. I wouldn’t mind having a playoff game or two to watch even if there is no pot of gold at the end.

As vice co-pilot on the Tmac spaceship, tuk you need to calm down my friend... Your "relationship" with Tmac is unhealthy. Please realize this is a Carolina Panther forum. Brother, take ALLL, I mean ALLLLLL your merchandise out of your bedroom as a first step. Enjoy the win and your #1 guy help just like he has each week.

They couldn't avoid it today. Its was bad. It got to the point that they didn't pass the ball for awhile. Thats when the run game took off. That allowed Young to get into some semblance of a rhythm. But when Rico started to get banged up and out of gas the defense was able to back off and effect the passing game.

Am I frustrated at T-Mac not getting more looks? Of course, but I'm not upset at him not being the hero. I'm frustrated at Canales being a fuging pussy with his game plans and play calling, Bryce deficiencies aside. Call the game like an NFL coach, when the QB fails, put in the backup who at least has an NFL level arm at 85 years old. 5 games in and Bryce has 1 game over 200 yards this year. While this was also our first game with someone who has rushed for over 73 yards, so it's not like we're running it great on the whole either.

I thought Collins was great, and he actually brought some local insight to the game as well. But Schlereth was awkward about reacting to little factoids, so he just changed the subject. In short, Collins = good, Schlereth = bad

I don't know what's going on with this thread. Dowdle is a baller and had a hell of a game. But it is valid to suggest it would be nice to capitalize on the talent of the guy we drafted EIGHTH overall. Both things can be true.

Princely flashed too but the whole dline went off after the 1st quarter.

Honestly, then let him go out there and fail miserably, I'd respect Canales more than I do right now. If you call those plays and he just proves that he can't make those plays, then that's on Bryce and gives Canales the ability to bench him again. But instead, he calls a terrible game to try and hide Bryce's deficiencies. Which yes, I can understand why he would do that, because ehe knows Bryce sucks, but that's also how you end up in the situation of Bryce tricking people into thinking he deserves another year, just like he did last year. Call the game like a real NFL coach, if then the QB sucks and it causes you to get blown out, so be it. We're watching a high school football team out there. Your QB can't throw the ball, so you just run 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense and hope you get lucky with the RB breaking loose a few times a game, and if not, you get blown out. Are you people really enjoying watching that kind of football?

That would be a first, calling him out for poor play. I have yet to hear it previously .

Again, our QB is BY. we got lucky today. Big plays aren’t what we do NOR are they what we are trying to do. Again, BY is the QB. The pass game you want requires a new QB.

They should improve with experience, until they hit that wall.

This is 100% about the OPs favorite player not being the hero today. You don't need to read any deeper. Asking Bryce to pass more and go deep more is a recipe for losing.

They didn't go too easy on him today. I mean they tried a few times to make a throw bigger than what it was but for the most part it was mostly fair assessments. There wasn't much early on that they could gloss over. The 1st half was just ugly football from Young all around. Completely different team came out after halftime.

Stay alive for a week and you shall get your wish.

OP show me where Bryce touched you Your post history is deranged. I’ve think you have mentioned Bryce over 100 times this week alone

I didn't say it was an unimpressive 200 yard game. I'm saying it was a poorly called game Those are two very different things and can exist at the same time.

Darnold looks even better than Baker and the Seahawks traded away their #1 WR who just put up 126 yards on 5 receptions last weekend.

Don't count the final drive of the game where we just needed a first and then kneel downs, and we had 10 drives today. Of those 10, we had drives of 4, 29, 13, 26, and 4 yards. Half of our drives today went for under 30 yards. That's because if Dowdle wasn't making an explosive big play, we were just running the ball into the back of our OL and doing nothing, while at the same time having Bryce dink and dunk the ball to our TE's and RB's for minimal gains. That's my issue here, our game planning and play calling is terrible and if we're not busting loose for a big play, we're doing absolutely nothing.

Dumbest thread of the year nominee.

Probably a higher percentage than getting a clean play connected up.

Obviously the fact every carry wasn't for 52 yards means he's bad

BY can’t and won’t make the plays you want. Playcalling isn’t going to matter
