was just looking into it. https://catcrave.com/is-jalen-coker-playing-today-full-injury-update-carolina-panthers-wr-week-14 looks like he may be back on the field next week against Dallas. Apparently JT Sanders was back in this week and missed his only target. i think i missed it, too. didn't remember seeing him.

it really seems like they are all getting in synch. chemistry developing is really good. i want to see more of Coker and JT out there. hopefully they get back in soon.

well....a resurgence in what we saw from him in alabama and the things we were looking at when he was drafted.

i'm still finding myself actually getting more excited to watch him when i see a blitz coming. it's amazing how well he handles those pressure situations. who would have thunk we'd be seeing this guy doing these things after what we saw the first year and a half? he doesn't look like a scared kid out there anymore. i mean he still looks like a kid, but he's looking like a rockstar compared to what we were seeing.

he had that big run, though.

some people don't want to believe the product they are seeing when they actually watch the game. when you are watching what he does, it's hard to not see how good he is actually doing out there unless you are willfully choosing to ignore it just so you can keep your argument going.

context doesn't matter when you've got your narrative to run with.

If only his receivers were.

We're not far from figuring out how to win. I think we get it figured out the rest of the schedule.

Learning how to win is more important. Finishing this season with a string of wins is more important. Winning is better than losing.

Next year we're in.

You're the expert.

But I won't have to force my optimism. We're seeing an actual QB back there driving the ball down the field and handling clutch situations the way you want them handled. They keep getting better and surprising me in good (and bad) ways. Bryce was a liability, then he wasn't. Defense was a liability, then they weren't. Problems are getting addressed week by week. Bite by bite we're devouring that elephant.

I gave up on him. Then I watched him again. Then I ate my crow.

Don't worry haters. I'll save y'all a seat next to me when you jump on the wagon next year.

We should have and could have beaten the chiefs, bucs, and eagles. We should be on a 5 game streak winning streak. I feel like that's coming, though. Next year we tear it up.

He has done everything he needed to do. He can't catch the ball, but that's not his job. He has been putting the ball exactly where it needed to be. INT today was a fluke. He has been let down by teammates... especially on crucial drives. He's proving to be as clutch AF. Same with Theilen. Chuba has been, but then there was that costly fumble last week. Game plan and play calls have been good, but Bryce is making poo happen or playing well enough to make poo happen but we've got too many guys that choke at key moments. Not Bryce, though...he's got his head where it needs to be. He's the QB we need in clutch moments.

With each game I feel better and better about this team. There's just a couple pieces (and a lot of depth) we need. Right now....gimme TMac and then nothing but big guys in the trenches in the draft.

They did well enough to win. Definitely did better than any of us thought.

Once again Bryce does everything necessary to win, but is let down by his players. XL should have made that and a bunch of other catches. Defense did their job really well. Coaches did really well. Bryce did really well. Can't make players hold on to balls they should.

Feeling good then... Got to hold them to a field goal here

He is. Having to get his knee drained before games

C'mon Eddie!

Proud of that D
