Agreed.

He’s not wrong. It is a bleed until proven otherwise. When they mentioned that dude was puking… that’s worrisome

lol! I was thinking the same thing.

Coker

I have zero faith in this staff to develop a QB via the draft. The team would be far better served with signing a mid tier FA QB who fits the typical mold of what a QB is supposed to be.

This exactly. Throwing on first and 1 at the goal line told me EVERYTHING. No serious coach trying to win the game makes that call. Not even if it was Brady to megatron. He wanted to show the world how he was able to make BY a successful NFL qb. He made last night about himself.

This team is winning due to the massive talent infusion Dan and Co have been able to orchestrate in a very short period of time. Fox and Rivera had their faults, but never did their teams look this completely lost and unfocused this frequently. Where is the hurry up in the hurry up offense? Where is the cohesion? Clock management. This is the most basic of basic stuff. Dude chased points tonight when there was zero to benefit. clueless. The winning strategy was to limit SF’s possessions. That’s it. Keep CMC and Kittle off the field. The defense gifted him 3 interceptions in the first HALF. Dave instead goes full retard and tries to feature injured ankle Bryce’s patented air raid attack. First and goal at the 1. Chuba looks healthy. Rico is Rico. He calls a pass. This is completely unforgivable malpractice and almost feels like he owed a bookie a lot of money. It’s easy to say BY is holding the team back, and he most certainly is, but Canales is the far bigger issue. This team will never beat the big dogs in the playoffs with that clown calling plays.

Then 1 and done in the playoffs. Canales ain’t out coaching anybody.

Rhetorical question: Does anybody see Canales being significantly more successful even with a better QB? I mean, they’ll win a few more games here and there, but he will never be able to out coach any of the better organizations. Shanny knew everything that was coming and how to play it.

Moehrig should have saved that punch for Canales.

So let’s see. Defense came ready to play and the offense looks completely lost, unprepared and thoroughly out coached. Sounds about right. I just don’t know. Canales has to go, but who does the team get that would be an upgrade? Losses like this are just sickening. Decimated defense still kept them in it. 3 picks and still get smoked.

Shanny has to be laughing himself to death. Canales, you are way out of your league tonight. Shanny has known every play coming tonight.

So damn bad. why chase points, Dave?

Bryce is sucking, but the play calling is buttcheeks.

Brutal

And they’re looking better than I thought they’d be… for now.

Time to settle in Bryce. Good decisions before that one.

I so badly want it to happen that way, but week in and week out in big games this is how it’s been. Dallas. GB. And then the Saints suck feast. Big games. Wild variability in what team shows up.

I see 2 ways this will play out. Panthers come out laser focused and aggressive and I like their chances… or they come out lost and unprepared and get SMOKED. I don’t see an in between. The difference makers on D will be Moehrig and Cherelus. If alligator arms appear for a second week in a row… that’ll be huge. I don’t care about unnecessary roughness call early in the game if it means setting the tone. Purdy needs to do us a solid and toss up a few hospital balls. Offense it’s everybody, but especially Tmac, Bryce and Coker. Coker could have a really big game tonight as I can see him being very underestimated. They’re going to sell out to stop the run. They know if they don’t, Rico and Chuba will wreck poo. The petty in me wants Shanahan to feel like he just pooed a peach seed after tonight is over. I haven’t forgotten the 2016 beatdown in Atl when I had to in person witness Julio go off for 300.

Save the cap space so they can extend Ickey and sign a FA QB in the offseason.

I’ve said it before. Panthers are neither a good nor a bad team… which is a GIANT leap forward from 2 seasons ago. They’ve gone from an embarrassing, unwatchable curb stomping on an every week basis to glimpses of competitive football and a team with actual, legit talent. Ickey, Hunt, Chuba, Rico, Tet, Coker, Moton, Lewis, Brown, Moehrig, and Horn would be legit starters on most NFL teams, so half of our starting roster. I’d dare call the special teams good this season. In 2 years that’s incredible. With 2 more offseasons and drafts like this last one, even a journeyman QB takes this team to the playoffs. Let them kill it on the first 2 picks in the next couple drafts and find a late round gem. That’s huge. I don’t think the current team is as good as its record, but I’m enjoying the ride.

Just imagine nothing but screens to CMC all night long… because it’s coming. Defensively for us, this is a brutal matchup. Purdy is back and we’re facing an all world RB and TE, which just so happens to be the 2 positions our defense sucks at containing… and we have an almost nonexistent pass rush.

With guys like Steve, the sooner you can get out of the conversation, the quicker you can get back to something enjoyable and meaningful. It’s just not worth calling out a narcissist. Steve’s punishment is the hollow life he has made for himself.

Some won’t, but I read all of what you wrote. Bravo.
