Just talking ball man.

I'm still not Bryce fan, but I'll say his deep ball ranges from fuging perfect throws to absolute ducks that will result in picks if he isn't bailed out. I'm just glad he let it rip today. He needs that confidence to just send it sometimes.

BC looked OK. Dude can't hang with speed on his outside. Kept getting caught flat footed.

Panthers got absolutely out played the entire game and managed a couple of really good drives. Bryce has one of his best performances, even if it didn't show up on the stat sheet as much (the dropped TD long ball and the X near perfect throw and catch that got picked). Lots to feel good about. But holy hell do we have a long way to go

Pixel 9 Pro XL has been great. Literally zero issues or things I'd change as far as the phone goes.

This thread is the "they're cheating" complaint in gaming when you get beat by a better player. No, they're not cheating, you're just bad. No, Tepper isn't making all the decisions, we just suck. This is not a good team. We have some interesting parts. We have some pieces, but they're not meshing well into a team because the bad pieces still exist. Some of that could improve with experience. Some of that could only be improved by replacing. But buckle in. The mismanagement fuged us for years. We suck now, we're likely gonna suck next year, maybe we improve some the following if poo starts going right.

A great empty hole right through the middle of him. He can't ever kill enough or steal enough or inflict enough pain to ever fill it. What do the Panthers need? Revenge. For what? Being born.

Watch X show the fug out and be wide open all game and Bryce not be able to get it to him. Would be the biggest tragedy of the season lol

Bryce got a series and on 3rd down of that series he checked the first read and immediately hit the check down. Which had two defenders on it already. Because Bryce does this every fuging snap

Bingo. Draft RBs, have a young dog for 5 years cheap, trade his value high and draft another, using his trade to fill other holes. Defense wins championships. Running the ball guarantees control of pace, if you do it well. You don't get a winning team drafting a stud QB. You get a winning team by building a team and having a competent QB.

Not even trying to be a dick, but on Kappy's goal on Koochie for the go ahead, in terms of his positioning, where was he wrong? What should he have done, in your determination?

Forecheck needs to settle. This one and done ripping from low percentage areas needs to stop. Get a corner and work it. Need to create some pressure. And for the love of God, keep netfront clear. Defensemen looked lazy as poo that whole period.

Idk what to say here but that you're objectively wrong. I'm too lazy to go rip the replays from Twitter but nothing you said shows up on tape lol

This period is not on Kochetkov. The entire team in front of him has unraveled. Constant pressure, no ability to move the puck out. Two very scrappy goals and a shot from a tough angle. Not much you can do when you can't keep the forecheck at all and nobody is controlling the slot.

2nd period has been more of a game. Blues didn't like that first period and came out pissed. We look flat. Those first period mistakes are still happening and now they're taking advantage of them. This is always our problem when we have a big first period. We act like we've got it won and don't finish the other 40 min completely. Good news is we usually have a bounce back third. But being down now isn't chill. We've not had the firepower nor the momentum. Need to get back on our game quick before this one slips.

This team is absolutely washing the Blues. Couple mental lapses that haven't hurt us but otherwise dominant. This is the brand of hockey we need all season. Chatfield is quickly becoming a favorite for me

Don't bring that poo in here, guy

It'll never happen

Ignore the weirdos bud. Hockey is hockey and it's wonderful

Begrudgingly, I'm paying Bally money again. $20/month isn't awful for a hockey season but it still isn't optimal. fuging dumb that I have to pay anything. Fox Sports South was fine. I had my TV service and was set. fuging dumb the way TV has changed

Everybody keeps forgetting D-Will his rookie year. You play Brooks to split some carries. If he performs, you have two solid backs that can be in on any down. Whole playbook potentially available regardless who is in. If you think Brooks can handle a majority load this off-season, you move Chuba while his value is high. You then find another RB that can be that 1-2 punch with Brooks for 4-5 years, similar to the Double Trouble days. This isn't a complicated thing.

The amount of people who don't understand blowout losses blows my mind. Canales didn't lose the players here. It was a bad game. They happen in this league to literally every single coach. We beat the Patriots during their dynasty era. Fairly handily. Nobody claimed Bill got out coached by our staff. If you give up on the rookie head coach 4 games in, maybe football isn't your sport. Bryce came in during garbage time and executed a couple of nice passes and got junk yardage. And once the field shrank, he was right back to the Bryce we know. He wasn't put in to appease tepper. He was put in because the game was lost and getting Andy hurt would be dumb. He got hit all game. Plus Bryce got game reps. Easy decision.

We're a team predicated on running the ball. We got down 20 quick because our defense is in shambles playing backups at key slots. Dalton had pressure getting through most snaps. This was a full team L, not helped by Dalton having a bad day. If he plays better it's likely a closer game but a loss.

We have a backup defense. Offense has to produce points or we lose every game. Plain and simple

This is the first loss in at least two years where I am thinking "we needed a stop before or after half. Played a good game, couple mistakes cost us". Like it sucks but it wasn't for lack of effort. Missed some plays, didn't stop them enough, it was a good game overall. On to next week
