Eh, when does Frank swallow his pride and bench Bryce? His eventual downfall here was his downfall in Indy. He's too loyal to his QBs. When it's not working, change it up. We all know what they say about continuously doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Hmmm, but questioning the 15 point offensive explosion last week was blasphemy. That post got pooed on more than a sidewalk on San Francisco's skid row.

Frank needs to give up play calling duties!!!!!!

Three letters-Y and E and S.

The calls seem so much worse when we play on CBS versus AFC teams.

Fixed.

My point is I've barked up that tree already in the past and got some--interesting-- comments to say the least.

Careful, you will catch the wrath. It's not about winning, rather ruining...uh, developing Bryce.

I guess we need to change play callers again?

Okay, after looking up some stuff, I think Burns' stats are really close to player 9 who ranked #4.

#7...I didn't look anything up. Let's see how close I am.

Join the club. I'm just trying to stay under a +2.0 at this point.

At this point I have zero clue what Fitts is doing. He'll offload offensive assets to move up for a rookie QB who needs those assets, but won't offload a dude who will break the bank for years to come that's not a generational talent on defense. Makes complete sense. Something has to give. Tepper needs to stop meddling, but clearly he doesn't trust Fitts at this point. I seriously doubt the micromanaging stops with a new GM, however. Some of these head scratching moves are 100% directives of Tepper himself, no proof, just a gut feeling. Fitts is going to be on the chopping block for being an unconditional 'yes man.' A person can't tell their boss 'no' too many times,but rationally giving rebuttals is common in a healthy organization. I mean, he's going to get fired anyway, so at least go out with some dignity,

"Major", meaning Burns is off the table.

I'm good, thanks for caring though.

We've been thin at corner since game 3. This is not about moral victories. Bad baseball teams routine trim the fat at the trade deadline once they realize there's no hope for the post season for future picks and prospects. Chark is a JAG and his "production" can be easily be replaced.

Ooops, yup....1.42 yards per carry for Chuba without his long of 8 yards and 1.65 as a RB group without Bryce. Wrote it down wrong.

Burns for a 1st+. TMJ or Chark for some day 3 picks. Donte Jackson possibly a day 2 pick or a combination of early day 3 picks.

Frank says he knows Scott has been on the phone leading up to tomorrow's trade deadline, but as of his presser today, he had not got any details and that they would meet later today. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/30/panthers-frank-reich-scott-fitterer-2023-nfl-trade-deadline/

Ooof. I agree Chuba is better than in the past, but being the best one of this RB group isn't a major accomplishment. Take out his long of 8 yards and his average for yesterday would have been 0.7 yards. Totaling 44 rush yards on the day, 33 by our trio of RBs is AWFUL...averaging under a yard per carry yesterday.

The Bills just signed Fournette to their practice squad. He's been out of football since the end of last season, being released in the offseason per his request (didn't want to play for the Bucs after Brady retired). Since Fitts loves to poach guys off of other teams PSs, lets give him about 2-3 weeks to get back into football shape and then sign him. We need a big, between the tackles RB.

"Head coach Frank Reich said that flurry of intentional penalties and jumping offsides is a strategy he has seen deployed before to try to "rattle" a kicker, and he complimented Piñeiro's steadiness in the face of chaos." https://www.panthers.com/news/eddy-pineiro-s-game-winning-field-goal-the-exclamation-point-to-first-win Yes, it was intentional. No 'mistiming,' rather an intention ploy to shake the kicker. I think if the defense jumps offsides on a FG as a result of having no timeouts left to ice the kicker, the player is ejected and they have to play with 10 men for the down.

Draft one in the second round, of course. We are money taking a WR in the 2nd!

Unless Fitts is playing a serious game of poker--Burns is off the table for a trade. Who knows, trying to up his value up by playing hard to get? I say there's a 99.9% chance Burns is still on this roster after tomorrow. If anything occurs for us, it will be some middling trade like TMJ for a 6th rounder, for example.
