I would hardly call yesterdays defensive performance improved. Take away those turnovers and the Rams probably score 49 points. The defense gave up 246 yards in the first half alone. Their running backs averaged over 6 yards a carry over the game. They could not stop them. I do not know how you can claim it was their stellar perfomance that won the game. Young completes 75% of his passes, converts all 3 of his 4th down attempts and accounted for all 3 offensive TD's and you still claim he was the weak spot yesterday. Your hate knows no bounds.

Lying? What is the above? Packers 2023 was basically the 4th quarter. And it was really good but it was basically maybe 1/3 of the game. And you will recall he followed that up with two 0 point efforts to finish the year. What happened in the 1st half of this years Cardinals game? Who won it? Miami, he made three or four good passes after putti g us in a deep hole all by himself, and Rico and the OL crushed it to take control of that game. Dallas this year he had crap numbers but played well for all 4 quarters which sort of stood alone. That isn’t what he usually does. (And it was a very good game by him). Yesterday, was really good. Absolutely. Answered probably my biggest criticism by throwing the ball downfield. That LA defense was asleep. And I am grateful to them. That poo is on film now, Let’s see what adjustments get made because that was too easy. If it was your defense that gave it up you would be screaming how did you let that guy beat you over the top?

I know we have a few film study people in this group.. Last year was infuriating (with no players) this year you can start to 'see it' coming together.. and like Mr Scott said, Evero is likely here to stay. Can someone do a deep dive in the philosophy of this defense and how its supposed to work? .. the deeper the dive the better

Jake has the "please don't fumble" face on while DJ is running with it lol

It was the most fun I’ve had at a game, the atmosphere was electric from beginning to end!

They needed three turnovers because the defense gave up 246 yds in the first half alone with the RBs' averaged 6.1 yds/att. Any team given up those kinds of numbers will need turnovers. They didn't work to keep Young under 20. They ran the ball to keep the Rams offense off the field and it was successful. Any team would have the same game plan given how well it worked. Saying "hope he can hit a throw here and there" is a bit off given he hit 15 of 20 and all of his 4th down attempts. "Run the ball, hope you can force turnover" is a recipe for success with any team in the NFL - not just Bryce Young. And finally, saying "Bryce "haters" will give him credit for the good plays" is a bit disingenous when you follow it with with a trashing diatribe don't you think.

Dave 'What do we have to lose?' Canales.

again, Hubbard was great vs the Cardinals last year. Not Bryce. Bryce was treated like a backup QB that entire game. this seasons Cardinals game, he was literally THE reason we lost that game. Horrific play by Bryce. Garbage time 2nd half yards throwing 3 yard downfield to TEs/RBs to bleed clock. There is actual great QB performances.....and there is good for Bryce. Most of the games you listed.....are not great performances by a NFL QB. Or even good. It's the Bryce blur. Miami is another one. We got down thanks to Bryce and Rico ran us back into that game. Almost comical the degree Canales was no longer going to let him throw the ball at one point. Stat sheets lie. Watching the game doesn't.

And most quarterbacks aren’t completing those. Those were perfect passes. It’s a reason why the defense set up that way - not many QBs are attempting that throw.

Going back to this, this is just such a wacky year of football both at the NFL level and college. Duke in the conference championship game? Vandy legitimately in the playoff conversation? I mean... just insanity. In the NFL, you have the 10-2 Broncos winning 9 games in a row and probably should've lost half of them. The Pats with a crazy turnaround weak schedule or not, they've beat most of the good teams on their schedule. That Panthers over .500. The Bears in the lead in the NFC on the back of an insane +17 turnover differential. It's just a really, REALLY weird year of football.

Thought it was Double Down Dave....

we got folks once again having willful amnesia..... let's talk about something that isn't a wild outcome. This board flying high as a kite......and Bryce going into New Orleans and having his routine bad game vs the Saints.....and we lose. Bryce averages 147 yards vs the Saints in his career and lots turnovers. Suddenly, the front page will have 78 cut Bryce Young immediately threads and a lot of those people will have called picking up his 5th year a no brainer at this point.

The poster said good/great. He had over 220 total yards and 3 touchdowns vs Cardinals. Our offensive line was the biggest cause of the errors vs Cardinals this year. He was good overall. Bryce was good vs Dolphins, great vs Cowboys (you’re allowed to say that two players on offense had great games). He played great against the Rams 147 passer rating. I believe it’s top 3 all time for the franchise.

No, they weren't blown coverages. They were man coverages vs a defense playing 4th and short......and Dave took big gambles and they paid off.

That is a tall order.

It rarely happens. It never happens for the Panthers. We need to get at least 4 contributors from every draft to turn this team around.

Thats a valid argument. I cant tell whet they are gonna do and they prob dont really know yet either. Ultimately they do need someone to play QB and I think the 5th gives them a little more time to figure out who that person is. If the upcoming draft class was loaded with QBs i'd prob feel different. Good news is they have a while before hey have to decide on the 5th. I think May 1st is the deadline?

That was some pure NFL crack that no other sport can reproduce, it was beautiful to watch. Gosh, that whole game was pretty beautiful to be honest. Fantastic product that just happened to have my favorite team in the thick of it and winning.

I can't wait for the Carolina Panthers YouTube video that has the crowd noise coming through in those moments.

I don’t know the density of the 2026 draft class either but this last one was a rare draft, how many teams ever get those results? If we could get three out of the next one I’d consider it a big win.

Could actually hear Keep Pounding chants through my tv yesterday, it was beautiful

None of the touchdown pasess yesterday came from blown coverages. I’m not sure you know what blown coverage is. We’re so used to seeing our WR’s create no kind of separation that we think any space they create is blown coverage.

Congratulations are extended to Derrick Broown for playing one heck of a game.

LMAO. You told people to quit lying and are billing these as great Bryce Young games? The Bryce blur in full effect. You can't sell a stat sheet when everyone here watched the game. He was not great vs the Cardinals 2024 (Hubbard was great) He was not great vs the Cardinals in 2025 (He was horrific and lost the game by half, and the Cards gave him checkdowns to bleed clock) Dolphins and Cowboys - Rico was great. All time franchise history great. He was not great vs the Rams. Two really dumb and risky plays by Dave on 4th down worked out great but everyone watching that game saw a team hid the QB for 98% of the game. I mean, credit to Bryce for making them. He did. But it was not a game where the eyeball test says that was great QB performance. Good Panther performance. He has 2 great games vs the Falcons. One pretty good one vs the Packers last year when they had people from the concessions stand playing in the secondary if memory serves.

The refs were definitely not going to call anything against the Rams yesterday. They tried hard to help them but certainly weren't going to hurt them.
