One thing I’ve noticed a few times so far this season is when Bryce escapes the rush and is looking downfield, our receivers never seem to break back to the ball. Besides lack of separation on standard routes, it looks like there is no instinct there either. Not a great combination. Several times you see Bruce motioning a receiver to come back or break.

On the bright side, my Sundays are looking to be wide open for some fantastic fall fishing.

On the good hand, we can sure sniff out a wide receiver screen because we see them 20 times a day in practice I'm sure

I'm not the analyst that some of you guys are, but I think they are going to throw it to Jefferson.

Had him targeted from the 20! Love it!

Church!

Would love to see some receivers get separation....

I checked in just to see the overreaction of the Huddle. (Would have if we were up 14 as well). As always, the Huddle does not disappoint.

23-20, Panthers win on a late field goal with Bryce leading us on the game winning drive to put us in range. Sanders gets 120 on the ground. Bryce throws for 240, spreading the ball around. Burns with two sacks and Fitterrrrerrrrrr decides he should have made the deal yesterday to save some money. Half the huddle declares Super Bowl, the other half declares the season a bust since we only beat a shitty team by a field goal.

How many teams that needed a QB passed on Howell?

Yeah I’ve laughed about this preseason stuff. When I coached high school basketball, we tried to play people better than us in the summer, tried different player combinations, put backups in against starters, played guys out of position…. Anything we could to prep for the season. One year we went like 2-9 in the summer, including a couple games blowing big leads (because little Johnny Turnover got his chance in the second half)… we ended up winning the conference that year. So as long as you have your guys, great time to look at individual matchups, decide who can play, what schemes fit, get some stuff on film and go for real when it counts.

Not a CJ fan but goodness that was a bad call. Officials need some preseason work too.

We have ourselves a franchise QB.

Dude talking trash that isn't even wearing pads. Punk.

Water hot as fire, not good. Supposedly El Nino makes for more wind shear which isn't favorable for hurricane development. Goodness I hope not. We just moved to the coast last fall, had a hurricane the day after we moved in.

Our play isn't as bad as Capers rug. And that's saying something.

This drive hasn't been textbook but I'll take it. And Mingo is learning some valuable lessons. He was too deep on that route that the pass was short-hopped. When he and Bryce get on the same page, get Sanders back in the backfield.... some things to build on.

A first down! Super Bowl bound!!!

Ok good job defense. Let's go.

Can Burns cover the tight end?

I picked a bad night to stop drinking.

Can we defend the slant?

VON BELL. Ouch.

So if our Oline gives up no sacks and just a few pressures next week and the Giants have less than 100 yards rushing, how many Super Bowl threads will we have next weekend? I love sports!

Most interesting thing for me will be adjustments made between now and next game, whether scheme or personnel. Certainly not hitting the panic button.
