Those Tepper bucks in Smith’s pockets doing the talking. He’s just reiterating what Tepper is venting to him behind closed doors.

Six is the absolute ceiling I think. I could see a win against the following Atlanta this week (division games are weird and they are coming off a hard fought win against Minnesota) The saints game at home Dolphins, Last Bucs game if they are sitting starters, Seattle (if Darnold has one of those flashback Darnold games) I don’t think there’s any shot we win a road game this year (outside of a week 18 game where the Bucs aren’t playing)

I think the defense looking somewhat average today is a complete mirage. Playing zone against Kyler Murray has always been the smart play because he’s erratic when he has to pick a defense apart. There are a couple qbs on our schedule this year that are going to absolutely shred this defense with the pass: Love, Allen, Mayfield, Stafford. There’s gonna be some ugly games down the line.

The experiment is over.

His drops are so slow. There’s no urgency to getting to his back foot. with that said, it’d be criminal to not acknowledge these facts that aren’t helping him. Nijman starting at LT Corbett forgetting how to snap The lack or urgency from everybody getting in and out of the huddle resulting in the play clock nearly hitting zero every play (this has been a reoccurring theme for Canales-Bryce-Dalton) im not sure where this is coming from but it needs to be urgently fixed. The defensive line doesn’t have to worry about a headcount and is just jumping at zero, blowing up the line in the process Legette being an absolute liability in everything he does.

It’s deliberate. Can’t bring in a known commodity like a Jameis because we’d all be clamoring for him after week one. have to let Bryce sink or swim this year.

Just another reinforcement that we not only have a talent problem due to the worst drafting in the nfl over the last five years, but our offensive and defensive game plans and schemes are not fooling anyone.

This is the worst defense in the league without question. im also not sure this isn’t the worst offense in the league. this team will be a sub four win team with a new quarterback next year and a coach who will be on the hot seat (which is a disastrous combination that will lead to another five years of failure) we are what Cleveland was to the prior generation. The panthers are now the Browns.

Team looks unprepared. Making the same mistakes.

Yeah. That’s not a good look at all

Bryce threw a pick first play that was negated by a defensive hold. They’ll play it off as a smart play since he saw the flag, but it’s an unnecessary risk. second pass was too high for Tmac. Honestly not terrible seeing as Tmac would have been the only one to catch it. third pass sanders was open, perfect ball placement for a first down and it went right through his hands. second drive was a play action mass protect with two receivers running a layered concept to the same side of the field, nobody was open. Bryce runs for two yards. on the sack, I couldn’t see down the field to see if anyone was open. He held the ball too long in my opinion. mix in two Chubba runs where he looked slow and timid to the line and you’ve got an ugly offensive couple of series. on defense, Nick Chubb was getting two yards before he was touched. Run defense is gonna be atrocious again.

Aho needs to be more aggressive tonight. He’s seemed way too passive.

He was impressive tonight. Big presence on the ice.

I think it funny you guys want Rods head when the team that is kicking his teeth in is playing his style of game with better players. That style wins. Problem is we are way too soft to match the physicality that Florida brings (as are most teams judging by the easy work that the canes made of the devils and capitals as well as the panthers winning the cup last year and well on their way to making their third consecutive final).

What a pass

So the NBA worked the back channels with Nico to get Luka to LA. He takes some heat and then gets Flagg as a replacement. this league is crooked.

Getting outplayed in a big way.

We probably should be losing 3-0. Get to intermission down 1 and make a push in the third.

Dominated that game. If it weren’t for the post it wouldn’t have been close.

Freddie also let in a bit of a softie. hard to be mad about anything tonight. Canes have been much faster tonight.

Three posts tonight. Two from Svech. He’s firing bullets.

Sheesh Wilson. Just tried to kill his own goalie.

I cut it off yesterday listening to it live. That was pathetic by Dan. He’s better than that.

How could they not. This defense is gonna be vastly improved if they don’t add a single player just by getting Brown back. Statistically, it can’t be much worse.

I’m pretty certain our draft range is 3-9 with 3 being almost entirely impossible. If a win here ends up keeping Atlanta out of the playoffs and Penix being some kinda media darling for a week, sign me up.
