Mr. Scot

Can agree with a lot of that but Campbell's been good for a long time.

We need a true center

If I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say perennial backup with the potential to be a good QB coach down the road. He's certainly shown the ability to play at an NFL level sometimes, but you can't build a team around "sometimes".

When exactly do you think Hunt and Corbett got hurt?

How many 'meaningful.games' did the Panthers play last year?

Compare Campbell's supporting cast to Brown's

Never a fan of that approach. It misses way too often

That drive where our starting center and our best offensive lineman were out?

Well, there was that one sixth round guy... Anthony Richardson, Tim Couch and Johnny Manziel were all first round picks. There have been later round and even undrafted picks that have outplayed first rounders.

Are there Bryce homers? I know there are some folks who, even if he has the game of his life, will never forgive him for not being 6'3. (or, in some cases, not being Cam Newton) I don't give a sh-t about his size if he can consistently play at an NFL level. Sadly, the jury's still out on that. I have seen him play well, but not enough that I'm confident.

Brown's impact isn't always the kind that shows up on personal stats.

Not glossing over anything, but also not making excuses to try and explain away when Bryce played well. That's just as dishonest as the flipside.

Special teams had its moments, especially that onside kick. Bryce had moments that fit under all three categories.

Agreed.

One good receiver isn't enough these days. Even when we had Steve Smith, you could only do so much when teams could just take him away and not be scared of anyone else. Honestly, don't care about his career to date, only where we go from here. Last season showed promise. This game showed promise. Unfortunately, it's still just promise.

- Even with Derrick Brown back, we so far have the kind of defense that would require an offense that scores about thirty points a game to win. We do not have an offense that can score thirty points a game. - Young is still not quite good enough for me to endorse sticking with him, but the "worst ever" talk is silly, especially given that his 'support staff' has some major holes in it. Evaluate him honestly and don't try to explain it away when he does well. You still might come away with negative feelings, but they'll at least be honest. - Xavier Legette...is it a confidence problem? A skill problem? An effort problem? Combination of things? Unknown, but at this point I'd absolutely move him down the depth chart. Replace him with Coker (when he's healthy) or Horn, or... somebody. Maybe he can win back his job down the road, but right now? - Starting to feel like there are some issues with our offensive play design, though more so on the run plays than the passing ones. Not sure whether Canales or Idzik is writing the plays but whomever it is might need to make some changes. Mind you, this is not something I've put any detailed analysis into at this point. It's just a general observation. Maybe someone who checks the All 22 stuff can take a look. - Appended to the above, I feel like I'm done with Evero. Though to be fair, I already felt that after last season's debacle. - Positives: I like this Tremayne kid. Kudos also to Hunter Renfrow and, of course, McMillan.

Not making one. Young got off to a bad start, but had the team within a score of winning from 20 points down. Then that last drive suffered a lot with Corbett and Hunt both out. That's not a "biggest bust ever" performance, especially not when Xavier Legette plays as badly as he did. He had a lot of good moments. It's disingenuous to make excuses to discount them. Evaluate him honestly. And on that front: To be clear, I'm still not convinced we need to stick with Bryce, but the "worst ever" talk is kinda silly.

You mean after Corbett got hurt?

Catching up, just saw the opening fumble...

Additional Note: Her sister is a Steelers fan, and after the game she directed me to text her sister a gloating message of "Hey, thanks for George Pickens." My wife is a savage

FYI: Lady Cowboy Fan and I were both standing for the last drive of the game. But apparently not far enough apart When Brandon Aubrey hit the game winner, she shoved me while celebrating and I fell onto a couch. In the future, I plan to maintain a safe distance from her during games like this

Okay, I gotta catch up on this game since the Cowboys game ran long. Also, no exaggeration: Lady Cowboy Fan shoved me into a couch as the final field goal hit

Aaaaaaaand Russell Wilson...

Interior line was among the best units we've ever had. I wish we had a center half as good as Kalil now.

Okay, starting to worry I may not survive the Cowboys game
