Yes definitely TMacs TD the Bucs were anticipating run

One thing in the Panthers favor is that game the Seahawks played in last week. Those types of emotional wins are hard to replicate next week.

You can certainly win a SB with a below average passing game but this isn't really the roster to make that argument because we have gone above and beyond financially to try and elevate this passing game following the 2023 season to the detriment of other areas particularly the defense. If we want to take another step forward to close the season we can't keep laboring to score 20 points and expecting the other team to make mistakes. The Panthers have had only 4 games this season of 30 or more points while the Seahawks have had 8. This is the right matchup at the right time to measure where we're really at.

Merry Christmas. Have a good one!

I think so. People are still conflating winning while Bryce Young is playing, and Bryce Young playing well. Bryce Young still struggles beyond belief to eclipse a lousy 200 yards passing. There simply aren't opportunities through the air for any of the receivers. Coker appears to be the clear #2 man right now and he's only getting one or two decent opportunities a game. If he or a guy like TMac had a real QB they'd have staggering numbers, and I suspect XL would be having a solid season as well. A receiver getting "cold" is a very real thing. Legette gets one or two targets a game. Watch his tape. The dude is getting open.

The game vs rams was louder.

This. We're scheming up deep shots specifically on short down and distance to go when teams are gearing up anticipating the run.

It still happens a lot in strength sports. Its typically a pretty devastating injury.

I can go cherry pick a random team that has little do with anything and make the counter to your argument. No point. You can’t make an argument the pass attack with Bryce isn’t weak and erratic. Stats and eye test prove both. All 3 years. Merry Christmas. Off to church, then some family eating paired with the proper amount of adult beverages as to not make the wife mad, and then Santa Claus work. Until another day. I hope everyone that wants them gets their official Bryce Young pajamas for Christmas (XS).

So you are proving my point, you can win a SB with below average passing game And the panthers currently are near the bottom in terms of contracts for skill position players, are highest paid offensive player is Moton at 44 million which extremely cheap relative to other teams. The eagles have about 5 guys on there offense with bigger contracts than that

Yeah… going back and forth with you is pointless. Presented with actual relevant analytics and its… ”eyes don’t lie” well when you have no idea what you’re watching they do

It’s 2025, not 2000. You can play or you can’t given the state of offense in today’s NFL. It’s all figured out pretty quickly who people are and aren’t. everyone basically channeling their inner Matt Rhule on Bryce Young. I’m telling you, year 4 or 5 he is going to show you! Year 7 would be the worst case scenario. Everyone knows about that magic 7th season.

In theory, you can argue anything. We have a weak and erratic pass attack. It just is what it is. The eye don’t lie. Well it lies once every season. In Atlanta lol

True enough but medical procedures a have been rapidly advancing and you would have to think he has access to the best doctors, therapists, etc. So is it the same as it was ten years ago? 5 years? I don’t know but would think the possibility exists that they can fix and rehab it. I mean, I have seen him get pushed around before so am not calling him Superman. But just say that maybe a guy goes down this week, you never know, our depth is pretty thin. If he could be available we would certainly be better off.

Yep a 24 year old still trying to figure it out himself 3 seasons with 3 totally different WR’s to start each year. 2 different systems Then like you said a bunch of young pass catchers that are trying to figure out things themselves. Bryce is older than both Coker and TMac. This is such a young group TMac and Coker understand the game though. Understand soft spots in zones. Understand coverages. Spacing. Route running. These are the types Young excels with. It’s why Young was able to extend the careers of Adam Thielen and David Moore. I’d like to see us add a legit deep threat still though and a pass catching TE so Young can take advantage of the MOF which is something he’s proven he’s more than capable of

Sure, you have to make up for it elsewhere… #2 D paired with the #2 rush attack (paired with an essentially cheat short yardage play). We dumped our resources into having a really good passing attack presently that in theory should be making up for the areas that would take an hit in the build. Which is another reason so much is Bryce centric. What in theory should be the biggest strength is the weakest link.

And since week 9 Bryce Young is 8th in EPA+CPOE composite Like I said he’s been playing like a top 10 QB and I’ll go with the stats that actually matter versus the same 4-5 “expert” huddlers that have been exposed countless times

Actually I can Let’s take the 2022 Vikings for example they were 8th in PPG and 7th in YPG but their offensive EPA was 18th and they got bounced immediately in the playoffs Or how about our defense in 2023… We were 4th in yards allowed but 26th in defensive EPA Since the GB game when Coker got his snap count up Our offense is actually 13th in EPA from weeks 11-16 they’re 10th Our defense on the other hand is atrocious

Said it before the first game, when we learned of Coker's injury. The QBs will be playing with a group of receivers where they've only completed a pass to one of them ever - Legette. That is not a good place to be, especially when the other receivers included two rookies, Tremayne and Renfrow who hasn't played football in 2 years. Throw in a second year TE and a rookie TE. I mean I love Tremble, but if he's your vet receiving TE you're not in a very good place.

Derrick Brown is one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the NFL right now. The Pro Bowl needs some adjustments.

So you can win with a below average passing attack. And if you want to get into weeds of things Bryce is actually asked to do way more in terms of passing concepts, changing plays at the line of scrimmage, going through progression, the eagles play the most simplified passing offense in the NFL cause of Hurts limitations.

Never personally torn a bicep, but everything I know about that injury points to him not returning this season.

XL should have been demoted to 3rd or 4th WR way earlier than he was. Even before Coker was available, XL was such a detriment to the office more often than not.

. We’re paying him big money. We are in a position to win the division for the first time in 8 years. If he is ready he is an upgrade and our depth can go back to being depth. It really comes down to how he feels and what the medical opinions are. And then you proceed. If he isn’t ready, absolutely don’t put him out there but to assume he will be Brooks, you should have a good basis for it which I doubt you know and know I don’t. Also if he is Brooks, Brooks’ repair was likely gonna fail regardless and we found out in time to react, so now we have Rico. If Hunt is not going to heal, let’s find out sooner rather than later.
