1. Saints 2. Falcons 3. Tampa 4. Broncos 5. Pats Division foes first, then super bowl losses

I mean that's been the case for as long as I can remember. I don't think that'll ever change. They could win the Super Bowl and it would still be that way.

That's really all I'm saying. If a guy converts multiple 4th/3rd downs running and passing that led to scores, then he 100% contributed to the 3 point win.

100% matters if that's the game plan. Every QB isn't a dink and dunker. For instance Love couldn't help himself Sunday. He'd get antsy and just launch it deep into double or triple coverage. Does seem like Canales has adjusted to what Bryce likes though.

He did. And it shows great leadership to accept counsel from your generals.

Just joking with that. But he had a plan at the beginning of the game and stuck to it. He set the team up for that FG before the opening kickoff.

What's wrong?

No one is saying he's lighting it up. NO ONE. But he has made big plays that have contributed to wins. He absolutely has. That doesn't mean he went out and won the game for Carolina. It means he's made a few big plays that have contributed to wins.

Yes he CAN. Just like he CAN push the ball downfield, he just doesn't. And I have to believe he's had to throw in windy weather before. Should have known better than to put that duck in the crosswind. Don't think he did it again.

He wasn't making the same throw as in Miami. He lofted the ball to the corner pylon and the wind blew it all over the place. You can see how far the ball is pushed to the right from the perspective in that video. Now the fact that it wasn't a tight spiral didn't help either. Actually it was wobbly coming out of his hand, but he seems to do that. It still usually gets to where he wants it to go. Horrible ball in that wind. Hopefully lesson learned.

so his 2 TDs in Miami didn't help? his 3 TDs against Dallas didn't help? his TD against the Jets didn't help? Which btw was the only TD in the game. And he should have had 2 against the Packers, but drops... The only game where they truly didn't need anything from the QB was ATL. That was a defensive master class.

You're doing too much. They literally won against the #1 team in the NFC at the time. Rico had exactly 1 of the 20+ yards in that drive up to that point. Other than that play that fooled the defense, he had a total of 2 yards in the drive. I'm not saying Bryce lit it up, but he was crucial in the win. Particularly the last drive. Canales was playing for the FG after that. Had to make himself look smart for not deferring after winning the coin toss.

That final drive was comprised of: 1. one (1) yard run by Rico 2. 10 yards pass by Bryce (1st down) 3. Incompletion by Bryce 4. 10 yards pass by Bryce (1st down) 5. Incompletion by Bryce 6. This play I don't think Canales was trying to keep the ball out BY's hands.

Eagles still have the most complete roster. I think they go again.

Not dirty. Player was still in the field of play throwing up first down signs. He taught him a lesson. Maybe he wasn't trying to injure him, but he was trying to give him some pain.

Oh I think he was, and I don't blame him one bit. You play silly games, you get silly prizes. Dead man sideline. Bryce didn't slow down like that the next time he ran to the sideline though.

I don't blame him for pushing Bryce either. But it was intentional. He saw BY going out of bounds and he intentionally pushed him. The Stroud one wasn't intentionally a big hit. He just couldn't overcome the laws of physics. He tried though.

One was intentional and the other was a guy spinning his entire body around to AVOID the hit.

I agree. That wasn't a dirty hit. He actually made contact with his back and knocked Stroud's head onto the ground. He was trying to turn away from the hit but had too much momentum. Dumb, but not dirty. The guy that pushed Bryce saw him going out of bounds and decided to shove him for good measure. 100% intentional.

Looks like he saw the safety and wanted to lob it to Legette's outside shoulder at the pylon. Wind killed it and moved it in towards the field of play. Probably could have fired it like he did at Miami. Low and to a spot. Bad decision to lob it in that wind and it was a little wobbly out of his hands.

He needs to take shots downfield. Period. He actually isn't as bad with intermediate throws as some give him credit for. But dinking down the field is too many plays and opportunities for something to go wrong. They need chunk plays from the passing game. He can throw deep enough. He just doesn't.

Yeah, but he threw it when XL was on the 7 yard line. A dart would have been to a different location. He was trying to lob it to the back pylon but the wind took it off course and wobbled it even more than it already was. A tighter spiral on the lob or a throw similar to the TD he threw to XL against Miami would have been better. Gotta learn from that. I don't think he lobbed any more in the game.

They'll bring him back unless they can replace him with a true future-of-the-franchise. I doubt he's extended on a new contract though. If he is, it won't be a crippling one. He can't demand top dollar. They'll let him explore FA to determine his real worth.

I mean it went horribly wrong. But that angle really shows how much the wind affected that pass! Wow Maybe a tighter spiral wouldn't have been pushed as much though.

Came for the pie!
