because canalas has to game plan around youngs flaws.  Carolina cant run what they need to beat teams because young doesnt have the ability and physical traits to do that.

Oh please explain in detail what you mean 

This should be good 

Thats a generous 29.4

Lef tackle is the BLIND side for right handed QBs. That's why they get paid so much. If your LT is getting dog walked into the QB in 2 seconds, that is not the QB's fault. Geez people. You would only say that about Bryce Young. Truth is Chase was beating Ickey like a drum all game - against the run and the pass. It wasn't speed rushes either. He overpowered him all day. Bryce basically escaped multiple sacks throughout the game. Dalton would have gone down at least 7 or 8 times yesterday, including that play. 

Only took 4 pages but finally someone gets it

The thing about those BY9 GWDs or basically pretty much literally any drive is that any penalty is an instant drive killer. As soon as we have a negative play it's over. Gaining 10 yards in three plays is hard enough already. Make it more and that's a wrap.

Coker is a good player, name recognition doesnt change that fact.

Tight end room definitely needs an upgrade to take this offense to the next level.

Wouldn't mind upgraded from XL also. 

 

Yeah Coker is solid. Doesn’t get much separation in man though but he’s someone who understands route running and understands where he needs to be which is why he’ll have success with Bryce. Same with Bryce with Coker 

XL doesn’t understand any of that. He’s strictly been used for speed at this point. Horn doesn’t understand much either but if he does he’ll eventually take XL’s snaps from him. XL is slowly working his way out of the rotation

if it werent for where we drafted XL, he would be on the practice squad.  its an absolute joke that he is on the field.  

Someone needs to go grab a screenshot of where his hands were on that ball that almost got picked off on the sideline 

He truly has no idea what to do with his hands when the ball is coming

That has been there all season DCs for some reason never exploited it like they should/could have.
 

That last part seems like it is always the Bryce stan answer, he doesn’t have enough around him, buy more weapons. 

We don’t have a single useful TE

No one outside of Charlotte knows wtf Coker is

Legette is useless

If you honestly think this team has weapons then you’re just lying to yourself

Swap today's playcallers and see how the QBs do and swap the defenses fug it you could sit a house in our middle third today 

And that’s the problem with Evero’s defense

He wants his LB’ers at the LOS all the time showing blitz that they can’t drop back fast enough. Kellen Moore picked that apart and honestly laid out a great blueprint for other teams

Also while we’re swapping things can we swap TMac for Olave. Give Bryce someone like Olave and it would do wonders for this offense

Bryce was the only reason the offense moved at all today

Calling the same 4th down play twice in one game is embarrassing 

Worse is punting the ball back at the end after watching your defense get walked down every drive minus one. But I guess he was out of 4th down play calls?

Olave owns Horn

The turning point of the game was the Ikem Ekwonu personal foul. Killed all the momentum we were building up.

Yep

F’n embarrassing after a bye

This team looked like complete ass. 

This loss will be on that dumbass Ekwonu

If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied

If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa

It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes 

Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo

 and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards.  That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup. 

And the Cardinals had to start Ryan Lindley that game as well. They were actually winning at halftime 14-13. That game summed up that season and we limped our way into Seattle standing no chance whatsoever but the team gained valuable playoff experience imo 

I’ll sign up for that again versus missing the playoffs. It would be good for this team. Even though we’ll most likely be one and done

I'm honestly okay with that as a final outcome.

Same it’s been too long

Cam’s third year we got a home playoff game and got bounced pretty harshly. That stung more because we were 12-4

Id love for us to make playoffs just for Bryce and these young guys to get that same experience heading into next season. I’ll view this more like 2014 when we had no business being in the playoffs but got in. Playoff experience is never a bad thing especially for a young team like us

I'm waiting until this entire odd season plays out fully to really judge anything.  Or maybe I should say, change what the last several years has locked into place.  This is one of the weirder seasons I have seen and hardest teams to really judge.  Its a very schizophrenic team/season.    And there are 2 very different ways the finish could present and the board would view things vastly different from both ends of the at finish spectrum. 

 

Yep this.

This board will do a 180 if we lay a stinker in NO on Sunday and rightfully so. So let’s pump the brakes here

He non throwing shoulder is banged up for sure.  One thing about him is he is a tough hombre.   My brain and gut tell me that tampa will put on a clinic tonight in a get right game

Yah it’s no secret his left shoulder is banged up but I think it was a bit banged up before the Rams game and now to what degree

He dislocated his left shoulder in 2021 and played through it 

His accuracy dipped after that Niners game. So we’ll see. The Saints didn’t hit him at all last week 

3 minutes ago, mrcompletely11 said:

what means this?

Most think he’s hurt. There’s been a drop off in performance since the San Fran game I want to say 

Atlanta is by far the worst team in this division right now

Would take a miracle for them to win tonight

Here is a good discussion from the guys at the ringer about qbs that could be on the move in the offseason and which teams may need new qbs.   They go in depth about Bryce and the panthers, his trade value etc.  They are not high at all on bryce, like the others (Mike kay, person, Fowler) the only value bryce has at this point is his cheap contract.

Is this the same Mike Kaye that watches every practice and said Andy Dalton would’ve blown out the Dolphins only for Dalton to come out a few weeks later and get blown out by the Bills?

Yeah he sure seems to know what he’s watching…

good stuff

Ben Johnson would take Bryce Young over Caleb Williams

Horn can't fall again, they need to stop the run and they have to keep Shough contained in the pocket.

Simple

Shough is more than capable of beating you from the pocket. The guy honestly looks good

The Saints have Bryce's number and that building is cursed. Bryce needs to tap into something supernatural to win this game lol

Yeah I’m surprised this isn’t mentioned more 

We’ve got STOMPED the last two years in NO. The Saints looked pretty good yesterday and Shough is definitely no slouch

We don’t match up well with them or the Bucs tbh
