I'll literally watch pirates streams over official ESPN streams. They're just better as embarrassing as that is for the self proclaimed World Wide Leader in Sports.

Their broadcast teams on the ESPN+ streams are AWFUL. Then again, most of their broadcast teams are trash anyway.

Na, I just don't care for that guy. Never have. That's saying something for this place.

Yes because Marner has been past the second round lmfao

Not sure that's what I stated, but he is a consistent goal scorer. 

WTF does him going past the second round have to do with anything? Are you high this morning?

Yeah I think we were in a scenario where we had 3 great games on one but it was missing the Notre Dame game or something so she was asking about the ability to pick and choose what showed up in the four boxes. Appreciate the heads up!

A friend of mine told me they let you pick and chose on the ESPN App and it sucks. There is a ton of lag, and it's never consistent like YTTV. I think it's a rights thing when it comes to the local channels, that's why they don't let you do much besides 4 games they pick.

Not to mention Necas, TT and our second defensive pair are in contract years. That alone will keep a fire under their ass. 

Necas was in a contract year a year ago and had one of his worst years. That's how we got him on a 2 year deal for damn near nothing.

Blue line is stronger and we have more scoring going into the season than we did last year. If younger players take another step in their progression IE. Jarvis, Necas, KK, Svech comes back stronger and Tuevo has a bounce back year, we will be more than okay. Burns, Orlov, and TDA are scoring machines on the BL.

Who was available that you wanted to trade for or sign? 

I wanted them to make the trade for Marner in the offseason. That was the rumor and it didn't happen.

Thinking these guys take another step is what I've thought they would do for a while. They haven't. Necas took a step last year, but he still sucked in the Playoffs.  Don't get me started on Svech. That man went 20 full games last year without scoring a goal before he tore his ACL. It's past time he became a superstar. 

Again. The past 4 years have shown us, unless you have that go to guy scoring, you're not going to go far in the Offs. This team has been the number 1 defensive team for a while now, and what has that got us? It's past time to try to find that go to guy scoring and we STILL do not have that on the team. 2nd round exit is my prediction. But hey, we're going to defend the hell out of that puck. LOL.

Lol. Congrats on being relevant again.

Are you able to pick the four games or does it have to come from the sets they pick? Girlfriend was wondering this last week and I forgot to look it up. 

They don't let you pick if it's on ABC, CBS, or Fox it's either 1 screen or 4, and no in between. If the games on the other sports channels, you'll have an option of 2 screens, 3 screens or 4 screens usually. You don't get to pick it but they mix and match so much it's hard not to find at least 3 games you care about.

Lot of good games today. Makes me almost miss cable and the ease of flipping channels.

But streaming means I can just put multiple games on multiple monitors, so weeeeeeee football immersion today!

YTTV allows you to play 4 games at once on your screen now. It's worth it in my book.

Heading out for Chapel Hill here in a couple hours. Hope to watch the Red River Shootout on the way down if reception allows for it (I'm not driving).

High of 70 here in the Triangle. Perfect weather for a game today.

He’s a Gator through and through. He’s been coming here through Mullen and Napier. However, if we don’t finish above 500 this year I worry the class around him we’ve built will see a lot of people jump ship.

Langway must've gotten paid or been a big The Golden Calf of Bristol fan to be this loyal in 2023. 

Underrated game for the day is Rutgers vs Wisconsin.

Really nice set of games this week.  Georgia vs Kentucky should be interesting 

It's at Georgia so I think Georgia beats them badly. I just can't trust Kentucky.

I'd be amazed if he hung on to his commitment.

I think he'll flip if you guys continue to falter. That's one dude you guys need now. 

Predictions before this game. Where the Canes ending up this season?

Me personally? I think we end the season in the 2nd round. Offseason was meh in the grand scheme. We need scorers and we just don't have enough consistent ones. Also, please move on from Raanta and get the boy Pyotr as the backup goalie by now for Christ sake.

It would have to be in the PERFECT location for it to happen. MLB is not happy with attendance in a lot of stadiums so it needs to be able to have Raleigh/Durham/CH/Gboro, etc folks be able to get there quickly and easily ... nightly.

Might need to be between Raleigh/Durham then. 

Charlotte is screwed in that scenario. Greensboro will only have to drive an hour if it's around Durham. WS close to the same.

At least when they move to Vegas I’ll have a built-in excuse to go to LV a few times a year. I can only take my wife to see Adele and Miranda Lambert so many times…

Cheap ass vacation. Not much at all.

I'm still a fan, this sucking would sting less if we had all of our draft assets though. If they dont win a couple games after the bye week I'll be ready to blow up the front office starting with Fitterer since he built this team.

That is the main reason I've stopped watching.

I'm friend with a Jets fan, Bills fan, etc. They even say they feel sorry for me. They literally said our situation is worse than any situation they've seen in a while. That's how bad it's gotten. Not having a first rounder and sucking like this is just a recipe for people to stop watching.

I would not say hes been "horrible".  They are asking him to make chicken salad out of chicken poo.  He has ZERO support, whether its from the scheme, coaching, o-line, weapons....whatever.  Bryce is the least of our concerns right now. 

Bryce is the least of our concerns? Yeah. You're high as hell. 

1 hour ago, joemac said:

yeah I saw it.  All those teams you mentioned gave said QBs YEARS.  And you're talking about trading the guy we traded heaven and earth to get, after THREE fuging STARTS!  Where he has not even played badly at all.  

He's one of the worst QB's in the NFL right now. He's played horrible. WTF are you talking about? 

Yes. It's better to start over as Bryce is a bust. Instead of waiting 3 years to realize he's a bust. 

And no. Some QB's were given a year, or two tops. See Zach Wilson, Josh Rosen for example.

You're seriously drunk or smoking the good poo if you think they are going to attempt to move BY this offseason.  Is this really how our fanbase thinks?

Did you not see my post and the breakdown of QB's? Or you just going to ignore that? Yeah. 

While I agree with the idea that 4 games isn’t nearly enough of a sample size to determine how good (or bad) a young QB, I believe that the process has been accelerated. Teams are getting to the “you’re our future” decision in year 2 in a lot of cases.

2022 (in year 2):

- Kenny Pickett (jury’s still out)
- Desmond Ridder (I think we already know that he isn’t an NFL starter).
- Malik Willis (same as Ridder)
- Sam Howell (wait until the end of year 3, he hasn’t been bad so far).

2021 (currently IN year 3):
- Trevor Lawrence (he’s already been stamped “legit”).
- Zach Wilson (already written off)
- Trey Lance (given up on by the team that drafted him).
- Justin Fields (his team is already looking forward to drafting Caleb Williams)
- Mac Jones (this will be his last year as the starter in New England)

That’s a lot of decisions that haven’t had to wait until the end of year three.

2020 (year 4)
- Joe Burrow (he was in a Super Bowl in year 2)
- Tua Tagovailoa (McDaniel committed to him before the start of year 3)
- Justin Herbert (got the stamp of approval in year 1)
- Jordan Love (there wasn’t enough (any?) data his first three years).
- Jalen Hurts (in the Super Bowl—and got the bag—at the end of year 3).

2019 (year 5):
- Kyler Murray (was thought to be the future after year 3, but now his future is in doubt. So was that evaluation wrong, or did bad coaching fail him?)
- Daniel Jones (he’s not that dude—and it didn’t take me three years to see it—but the Giants just paid him like he is).
- Dwayne Haskins (RIP)
- Drew Lock (led the league in interceptions in year 2, Broncos gave up on him in year three and then overpaid for Russell Wilson to replace him).

2180.
- Baker Mayfield (if you’d asked the Browns in 2020–after year 3–they would have told you that Mayfield was the franchise QB. They bailed on him after the next season (clearly 3 years wasn’t enough to properly evaluate him)).
- Sam Darnold (the Jets knew he was a bust before the end of his third season).
- Josh Allen (he went from completing 58.8% of his passes for 3,089 yards, 20 TDs and 9 INTs in year 2 to 69.2%, 4,544 yards, 37 TDs and 10 INTs in year 3. People may have thought he was good in year 2, but we didn’t don’t know until year three how good he could actually be)
- Josh Rosen (Cardinals figured it out in his first year).
- Lamar Jackson (won the MVP in year 2).

2017
- Mitchell Trubisky (Bears didn’t figure this out until year 4).
- Patrick Mahomes (MVP in year 2).
- Deshaun Watson (Texans gave him the Thumbs up after year 2. He decided that he didn’t want to play for them anymore…and then the “allegations” hit the streets).

2016
- Jared Goff (Super Bowl in year 3, but he’s in year 7 now. Do we know if he’s good or not?)
- Carson Wentz (2nd team All-Pro in year two and the Eagles dubbed him the franchise…but they seemed to have come to regret that).
- Paxton Lynch (Denver figured it out in year 2).

Waiting 3 years seems like more bull poo that will kill the fans of this franchise.

You gotta chill. You no like Bryce Young. We get it. He’s going to be here a while so I suggest you cope with that 

I hope not. I'm at the point where I hope they trade him in the offseason. 3 more years will be 8 years of crap ball with consistent 5 win seasons. Yes, I think Bryce is a bust. Yes. I'm done with the experiment. I'm also done watching this team consistently.

Tepper probably wants to move anyways. He's destroyed the franchise

That would be dumb to do that at this point in time. Where is he going to go? London? Mexico? Bruh. That would be a hell of a bad look.
