Mr. Scot

We aren't the only ones having it...

Quick note on a news item i just saw that's not Panthers related but is a very "WTF" kind of story... And in a bizarre turn... Damn

He hasn't looked at the All 22.

I'd vote for it

Thought I remembered it being something like that...

Yep. Likewise, I 've always wondered why it's never "rigged" when we win. For the rigged game narrative to be believable, you have to be able to make a convincing argument that we could have won the game if it weren't. Our prior game performance vs the Saints fix makes that a more difficult task. What makes it even more difficult is when you can point to identifiable mistakes. You can certainly do that in today's game.

We're not playing against the Panthers defense

We're at least a year away from any chance of making a permanent change at quarterback, and probably longer. While we're waiting on that moment, we definitely need to shore up other areas.

Don't we need help if we lose one of the Bucs games? That's certainly be the best path

Don't buy that game being rigged either. They didn't need to. We played (and coached) like dog sh-t

I said one mistake by the braintrust as a whole. You still haven't picked up on what that mistake is.

The only point stat that matters is who has more at game's end. Canales, Evero and company were successfully able to pull off wins against several good teams this season. It's pretty sad to have to watch us beat teams that have a good chance at being in the Super Bowl this year only to turn around and lose to a team that was eliminated from playoff contention around week four

I think this game was winnable (hell, we almost did).

Play action and toss it to the flat and we probably win. Hell, do what the Voles did with McCarthy a little while ago and I'd still say better odds.

Second one to point that out And yeah, the playcall on that 4th down was just awful.

Hadn't even thought about that. I mean, it was a better coaches game theman the last contest against the Saints, but that and three bucks will get you a gallon of gas. (except in California)

There's an extremely simple path to getting Evero off this team. Just wait till the end of the season when his contract expires. Seriously doubt the Panthers are gonna talk about extending him, and he might not want to stay even if they did. This problem solves itself.

Who's arguing in favor of the "turd QB"?

I assume you know I'm not one of his "defenders". I disagree with the hyperbolic takes because arguments of that sort weaken the overall point. Examples: "Rex Grossman wasn't an elite quarterback." Valid. "Rex Grossman was the worst quarterback in history and any games the Bears won during that era, they won in spite of him. Yeah, no.

As an example of an irrelevant point.

I'm okay with the discussion, but it's not especially relevant to the current big picture. Said it earlier: Bryce doesn't have to be historically bad to justify us moving on. Hell, he doesn't absolutely even have to be bad at all. He only has to be not good enough.

You'll be waiting a while since I didn't bother reading your entire post Granted, that's almost as bad as trying to discuss a game that, by your own admission, you didn't watch, but I'm not necessarily gonna give my best effort against someone I know is sh-tposting.

Rick Mirer started a pretty good number. (again, this is all sidebar)

You know I'm not worried about the metrics. Mentioned previously that i don't see him back next season, so that problem resolves itself. My one worry is that I'm not sure why Canales didn't fire him this past offseason. That was an easy trigger to justify pulling. Why didn't he?

And here i thought you were done for the night
