Unfortunately I see both of them coming back for 2024 as an increasingly more likely scenario. Both need to be gone together, or both retained. We have yet to clean house appropriately. Dave has kept a GM, let go the Head Coach, kept the Head Coach, fired the GM. The half-ass approach is part of the reason we are where we are currently. I tend to agree with the poster above… Scott and Frank have already made their bed in 2024. The purge will be next offseason most likely when results are much of the same. Let and new GM and Head Coach come in with a clean slate and their 1st round pick. Even then, going to be hard to attract top candidates with Dave at the helm. He likely has one of, if not the worst, reputations across the coaching ranks and front office/personnel folks.

Pass rush minus Burns, non-existent as expected.

Doubt it. We still have next week, and the week after that…

“Onto Chicago”

Burns haters gonna quickly find out what this defense looks like without him. Bears offense might look like the 2000s Rams on Thursday night. DJ Moore revenge game incoming.

Come back, CJ Stroud. We want a do over of draft night. This poo makes me sick.

Ron gotta be as good as gone in Washington. New ownership clearing house.

This defense is decimated. Woof.

Bad things as in… an 0-4 record and an inept offense that can’t get play calls in on time much less move the ball down the field or score touchdowns regularly? Gotcha.

Why would any high level coaching and front office candidate want to get anywhere near this franchise? Roster is poor with no depth and minimal draft capital with meddling owner that cannot seem to get out of his own way. This is easily one of the least attractive jobs league wide. Dark dark times ahead in Charlotte - I don’t think we’ve seen rock bottom yet and Tepper is the common denominator.

The problem is that this front office hasn’t shown it can draft successfully just as it hasn’t shown it cannot make impact signings in free agency on a consistent basis. Granted, we haven’t made or attempted many “big splashes”. Unfortunately I do not have the faith that this ownership and front office can get anything right. Cap space is great - maybe it can help to right the ship but I am going to say “prove it”.

Sanders’ deal was yet another contractual blunder from Fitt and co. to go along with Ian Thomas, Donte Jackson, etc.

Biggest gripe I have is the complete lack of foresight and the lack of patience that has us in the position. The upcoming draft is already being touted as one of the best QB classes, ever. We’d have a legit shot at the guy they are calling the next Patrick Mahomes and now he is likely to end up in Chicago with maybe the best WR prospect ever in Marvin Harrison Jr. Pair those two with someone like Ben Johnson at Head Coach, and Chicago instantly becomes a threat to win that division for years moving forward. Just a complete failure from the top down.

DB is absolutely the least of this team’s worries. I see him making tackles all over the field and he’s one of the only guys out there playing all out every snap.

It really is horrendous. Reich needs to man up and surrender the play calling duties asap. It is so stale. The league has passed him by.

And I’m late. Lock it up. My bad. I’m washed!

https://x.com/throwthedamball/status/1704243969457013191?s=46&t=8D9K3fmhsZfnidjWDjNm9Q Pretty clear to me we are seriously lacking a receiver that can consistently win his one on one’s. I’m taking a patient approach with Bryce and feel there’s been a decent amount to like and build on.

How long until Thomas Brown is calling plays?

Smoking some beef/hot Italian sausage meatballs on the traeger. Putting them in sweet Hawaiian rolls topped with garlic butter and stuffing them with shredded mozzarella and marinara sauce.

The criticism and lack of faith is fair at this point. We currently have a lot more question marks than answers and may be going on the road without our best player and defensive leader against a talented offense on Sunday. I feel like Bryce is going to have to play one heck of a game and elevate this entire team if we want to leave ATL with a W. Not sure that’s a fair ask of him at this stage.

Might get even trickier if he sits out, we get zero pressure on Ridder and get diced up on defense. This front office has no leg to stand on either way. Pay Burns.

I know he posts these types of images to his story often… but that’s a depressed and worn out Spidey right there.

And Brian himself with a somber image posted to his IG…. Fitt. and Co. have totally screwed this one up. Dark cloud over Week 1 is not ideal.

Doing things incrementally as I do not have the liquid cash to drop $50K on the basement at once. Currently struggling to find an electrician that can get things roughed in and wired (recessed lighting + outlets).
