What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together?

Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?

It hardly ever works that way. Had we had Ladd, we may not have even been in a position to draft T-Mac. It is something to ponder though.

True.  The brain trust may have considered the WR ‘problem’ solved after Ladd’s first season with the Panthers.  No need to double dip on T-Mac in 2025.  It’s hard to know what DM and DC would have done in this alternate universe…

I know XL had a good game today but what really burns my piss is we could have TMac and Ladd 

I was pounding the table for Ladd and ecstatic when he was there at our pick.  Woulda, coulda, shoulda…

It wasn’t good it was record setting and legendary. When Bryce hoists the Lombardi and MVP trophy later this season remember this moment 

“I’ll have what he’s having… “

Bryce dropping 445 yards on your D will get most DC’s and some head coaches fired.  It’s true…

“Go balls deep”

“It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.”

Did somebody on our team screw the head official's wife or something? 🫩

That would be Steve Smith…

We throw picks anyways. I'd rather see them on deep shots than on 12 yard out routes that a high schooler could see coming. 

An interception on a deep vertical route = punt

He needs to attempt deep throws even if they don’t amount to anything, give your WR a chance to make a play.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take… “

Different sport but same principle.

saints had the most basic and straightforward defensive game plan and canales and young had no idea how to counter

Oh, they know how to counter a stacked box.  The real question is why couldn’t they execute it on the field…

Worst of the defense

14. OLB Princely Umanmielen: 59.7

15. OLB Trevis Gipson: 59.1

16. S Lathan Ransom: 54.3

17. ILB Trevin Wallace: 51.3

18. CB Jaycee Horn: 28.1

Horn's 28.1 overall grade is the lowest of his five-year career. The 2024 Pro Bowler allowed four receptions for 150 yards and two touchdowns on four targets.

If Horn has checked out, Canales has lost the locker room…

… We need a higher pick at receiver for the third draft in a row.

How about a lower pick?  Ladd.

And there’s the rub….

This loss won’t go up with 2 playoff games and one loss than directly kept them out of the playoffs, but it probably completely ruined the rest of the season. The schedule is too difficult for them to bounce back from this and exposed how bad the team truly is. Their mentality is paper thin, they have no resolve to win if things don’t immediately work on offense, they can’t adjust, nothing works except Rico Dowdle and now he’s showing some fatigue and when the defense focuses on stopping him they have no answers. Season over.

Hooker? I think max practice squad pay is something like $22k per week. I doubt he got half that. More than I make though. By a lot. 

Hooker’s making $22K per week?  Tell me again why I went to grad school…

Icky on Parsons in pass pro.  The man is going to get paid.

Amen and amen!  Rico is phenomenal but the OL coaches are doing a masterful job of scheming up a gameplan for each opponent.  When do they get a game ball?

Have to eat my humble pie here.  I advocated us taking him in his draft bc I thought he had the tools to be a great NFL QB.  Looks like that Tennessee offense was really QB friendly.

I argued for him, too.  I own up to it.

Hey Panther fans you guys are a great fanbase. I will definitely pull for you guys to win your division. At least we got beat by a classy team Sunday.

Thank you, and I will be pulling for you Cheeseheads in your division.

So it’s come down to this: To make our ‘super processor’ successful, we need a run heavy offense to keep the ball out of his hands and minimize turnovers, along with a stout defense that keeps the other teams offense off the field and make it a low scoring game.  Sweet.

Welcome back, ‘Fox ball’.

Imagine if they had to respect the deep ball.

Deep ball?  Sounds edgy and innovative.  Where can the Panthers get some?

Nothing but bad decisions, from a guy with his experience level. Played like it was his first game. 

Gotcha!
