It's really bad football to watch. At their best it's boring and hard to find any respect for that wasted time. Are there any decent teams anymore in the NFL or is it just bad vs worse every game?

I watch 1 series each and turned it off. Im done watching flacid NFL games. The other game on was Pittsburgh vs NE and that last about the same for me. This crap is getting completely unwatchable

Lol still the falcons

Damn Atlanta has reason for hope. I hate that

Those are gone and freedom always taste wonderful. This team isn't close to being financially supportable.

He was never worth a 1st and looks to be proving late 2nd was still high for him. That trade up will always be comical for me. 'But the 5th year option' was and is freaking hilarious.

Over confidence and under competence is a stable under Tepper. They brought in Teddy, then Sam and then Baker to be the franchise QB vs just building around them which made it impossible to stop back from that overconfidence. Same with Bryce and that freaking trade up. Different people same story.

I have no idea what's going on in Miami. My guess is Tua is about done but that's just based on his injury history. He had a good run given his limitations.

Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.

It would help if they stopped trying to force them to be the faces of the franchise and just let them earn it... Or not overdrafting guys... Or drafting 'their' guys with better options on the board... Or hiring poorly or hiring people willing to fail while doing it the Tepper way... There is a lot I am tired of in Pantherland.

Some of these guys need to fail hard to overcome their issues elsewhere. Being put on a pedestal by a bottom dweller has not helped.

I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident. I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.

Replace luxury with burden and it makes sense.

Yes to both plus those 2 OGs are already hurt with on the IR and the other dealing with a foot injury. Not a great combo

Atlanta. They are fiesty. Last game last year was just a practice run. This one should show their improvement and the Panthers stagnation.

Not Rhule but Wilks is what I remember. It was while they were roating Baker, Darnold and PJ. Yup https://www.panthers.com/news/baker-mayfield-playing-his-part-though-it-s-a-new-one

Yup. Lots of moves to make but half that trade list can just be moved to cut IMO. Easy and well deserved vs being hard to justify someone else spending for them. Should have said lots of contracts to dump vs few. My mistake, few worth keeping. I just don't see those as hard to dump or needing further justification. 2/3s of the roster would be bottom 1/3 being churned on other teams every season.

Could have done this in the offseason...and should have

Not much to tear down on the roster. A few contracts to dump but really pretty bare bones due to years of poor management and not being able to get more expensive people to come into their mess. 100% on holdovers. The problem is the Teppers will be a part of the hiring at some level, which they have failed at in every way. I can't see a way around that hurdle unless it's pure luck at this point.

I only watch because it's free and I can do other things at home while it's on. Well that and I like to laugh.

Does he not already do that? The go route stuff is to just make space for the constant dink and dunk. That's why it dries up near the 20 where it gets tough. Difficult to defend? Just get up in scores and lean into it. If they can send pressure without going too soft in coverage it will work agaisnt the Panthers. I still think the offense is a QB away from instant improvement.

I don't know how about 5 at this point. I think that window has closed. Getting the easy stuff early and being notoriously unprepared every year is blowing up in their faces. 3 might be the max. Good Bryce shows up when the other team is having a practice game or an off weak after watching our film. It's basically a sucker punch to teams mailing it in. Groundhog day? More like Groundhog year again

It's a weak take like it was a weak game. It was garbage time against backups. That's his shine time. It's should be made fun of because it was pathetic. The WRs were gassed? What about the backup DBs? Those guys must have been really tired since they sit on the bench most of the time. Take that BS and go whine to someone else. man or zone they played off the line and back 10 yards in soft ass coverage. That and practice is all Young is good at. When the other team plays like they want to win he shuts down. Same as last year. Blah blah blah

That looks like an easy top 5 pick with 2 wins max. The back half looks a lot darker with the Saint playing harder than this team. NE might be their best shot outside of a team falling asleep after watching thier film to not go lossless this year.

That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running.
