This is basically wwe.

I like Evero. with the mismanagement of draft picks and an entire offseason last year dedicated to helping prop Bryce up; I don’t think there’s a coordinator in the league who was given less to work with than him. He’s definitely gone though. Not being under contract this late into a turnaround year and coupled with the fact that we blocked him from interviewing is all the writing on the wall I need to see.

Yep. Panthers in just enough to cover the spread but rams still win so the moneyline payouts aren’t crazy.

Shocker. Another phantom hold to kill a drive.

He’s missing way too many easy throws.

NFL continues to fix games to keep playoff races close down the stretch. Panthers win vs Rams keeps them in lock step with the Bucs making for a competitive race in the south and also keeps their week 17 game against Seattle (which will most likely be a national game on a Saturday) important. Rams lose resulting in a tightening of the nfc west which coincides with those teams playing against each other multiple times down the stretch with some of those games in primetime. Panthers benefit from some roughing the passer calls that are questionable and some phantom holds on the rams oline which derails drives. Rams losing outright also immensely helps Vegas as I’d imagine almost every moneyline parlay has the rams sprinkled in.

Somebody get the Jim Mora gif ready in 3….2…1…. For those of you who care, the path to the playoffs is really clear cut and Sundays game against the Rams nor Tampas games against the cupcakes they have remaining factor in really at all. In all likelihood the only way the Panthers are playing in the second week of January is if they win the division. The loss to the niners did a lot of damage to any wildcard hopes they may have. The formula to win the division is pretty simple. After the bye week, if Carolina wins their final four games (at NO, vs Tampa, vs Seattle, and at Tampa) they are NFC South Champs. In that scenario, they finish 10-7 and the Bucs best possible finish would be 10-7 as well. The Panthers would win a tiebreaker with a 5-1 division record. Ironically, the late season bye comes at a perfect time. Get healthy and try and win four in a row. With Canales outsmarting himself at every turn and Bryce putting up QB numbers not seen since leather helmets were worn, the thought of winning four in a row seems almost impossible, but, we at least go into December in the hunt.

The league is so inconsistent with their punishments depending on what team you play for. Amon Ra throws a punch at Daron Payne and gets nothing. Payne retaliates and throws one at Amon Ra and gets ejected and a game suspension. NFL wasn’t about to be penalize one of the lions premier players with a game against the eagles coming up, but suspending Payne doesn’t matter since he’s on a losing commanders team. I bet Moehrig gets a game

Clock actually starts when the play clock hits 35 seconds above five minutes. when it’s less than five mins, it stops.

Evero deserves some credit for mixing in the man with his zone tonight. I know they’ve moved the ball at will but his unit has given this team an opportunity to win this game by double digits.

There’s those analytics Teppers so proud of.

Zero penalties. But they’ll come once the niners have the 14 point lead and game in hand. they’ll walk us down the field with penalties late in the fourth to back door the spread.

So we’re owed a drive killing holding penalty on this drive, right??? Right?????

Canales looked at last weeks game plan and said, nah, I like what we did against New Orleans much better.

This game is on razors edge from getting ugly quick. Offense looks listless.
