Poor passes. Ugh. Get it together Bryce

I expected 6 wins this season. I need to see the Panthers blow by that now that they exceeded it by 1. I like how Canales has schemed around the weaknesses on offense in the passing game. I am impressed with the receivers, run blocking, running back combo and secondary communication in zone. Defense and QB need more consistency. The improvement of the defensive play calling and critical 3rd down and 4Q passing when trailing is going to be what I am looking for going into the playoffs. If the Panthers can consistently regain the lead after trailing over the next 4 games, I can see them competing in the playoffs and worth a reevaluation of the last 2 seasons' weaknesses. This is the prove it or lose it moment in their Panthers careers for Young and Evero. No excuses.

They wanted to talk to Baker. They seem so unexcited to interview Cousins.

That deserves a sign and retire for Zane Gonzalez as a Panther. Put him in the Ring of Honor!

Why did Al Michaels seem so deflated? Could it be their bias for BAKE? That was such a poor play call for a game winner by pro announcers

This is going to be a Buc Breaker from crazy leg Zane

Zane Gonzalez give us some Panthers love!

Do it for the Panthers Zane!

At least get in FG range Falcants

Should be delay on Bucs wrestling out of bounds

No hot route on the blitz? Seems like a coaching problem

Why does Baker Mayfield look like Jack Sparrow when he scrambles?

Try for a strip of the ball if you have them stood up. Don't stop and pat them on the head.

Analytics says go for 2, but assumes the team is playing well to execute a play at the goalline and not rack up 20 penalities

Wish they kicked PATs

Must be those analytics

Shough shows us all again that trading the franchise for a top QB in the draft is foolish. I thought Steve Bartkowski, Tony Eason, Jim Everett, Chris Miller, Jeff George, Ryan Leaf, Michael Vick, Trey Lance, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, and RG3 would teach fans how ineffective this approach is. Drafting a QB in the top 20 is foolish enough if they don't come with a rare pro sports pedigree.

Hurts is the best of the QBs drafted in the 2020s too. Hurts and Herbert show us the sad state of QBs in the NFL this decade.

These are some of the best teams in the league. May be the worst decade with the Chiefs on the decline. Appears the league is up for grabs and the Bills may have the playoff edge by default.

FUN FACT Panthers don't lose another game for the 2025 season... They're SB champs!

I like Drake Maye, but you're forgetting Maye lost to the Raiders and his victories have been to teams worse than the Vikings. Also, Daniels isn't ready to play again imo. He needs to recover. That left arm is important for balance, rotational power and accuracy. He also needs that left arm to scramble like he does.

Watching these games every week and seeing the players you wanted coming out of college makes you wonder how bad a front office needs to be to miss on them.

Went sideways on many successful defensive coaches after a a couple years of inconsistency. They never got a break after getting to championship games and winning the division title. Where's the logic in staying with a struggling defensive coach for half a decade? Capers. Fangio, Seifert, Fox, Rivera, Wilks. Why does Evero get half a decade of chances when these other coaches were tossed after a year or two of struggles while already proving their success as a DC/HC? I slotted the Panthers for a 6 win season and expected needed changes before another fall. If the Panthers can't beat Saints, Seahawks and Bucs, then changes need to be made. This is the 4 game stretch that determines the future of the team. All are must win games (maybe one loss to the Bucs will be allowed with a 10 win record), but no one deserves a long term contract with their track record.

Clutch gene? But in 3 years the Panthers haven't had a 3 game winning streak. These next 4 games will determine if the Panthers carved out a franchise QB for the next decade or sealed their fate as runner-ups in the NFC as they parted ways from the success staring the Panthers in the face in 2022. For perspective, Kerry Collins (95, 96, 97), Rodney Peete (02), Jake Delhomme (03, 04, 05, 06, 08), Cam Newton (12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18), Kyle Allen (19), Bridgewater (20), Darnold (21) all led the Panthers to at least a 3 game winning streak. Beuerlein couldn't do it and was replaced by Lewis/Weinke. Delhomme failed to do it one year and was replaced with Clausen. Bryce hasn't done it for 3 consecutive seasons & he is suppose to be better than all of them? Standards are way too low for Bryce.

15 completions. Less than 4 passes per quarter. 2 of his passes were on 4th down with the defense pressing. That was half of his offensive production. TMac and XL only had 1 reception each. Coker & Evans were his main targets. Couldn't even get Tremble and Sanders effectively involved. It was the Rico & Chuba show splitting 39 plays. The dowfield pass was used sparingly with good playcalling on 4th and short. There was no air game. Just 2 4th down highlights as his pass to Chuba was a swing pass behind the LoS. Playcalling, OL and RBs carried the offense.
