I still think that the throw to Ginn made that game. Cam hung in the pocket, got smacked in the face and launched the ball. That was the moment he looked like he had arrived (yes I was there for the Patriots game and watched the other comebacks) but that throw and catch was amazing. The Hixon TD was icing on what was mostly a terrible cake.

Damn! feel bad for Hixon. thanks for winning us that game against the Saints! Seems like he's gonna hang it up after his third ACL tear.......this further proves TD is a freak of nature.

Well I think the difference is, TD has the talent to be one of the best linebackers in football, and had the confidence that he could return to that level and start for years.  Hixon has been in the league for years, and even when healthy, hasn't been able to start(and certainly wouldn't be starting with the Bears).  Our WR core was not good last year, and Hixon caught like 4 passes total?  

 

It's alot harder to motivate yourself to rehab and come back to be the 5th WR on the roster and in your late 20s, he will probably be cut with an injury settlement, and no team is going to pick him up coming off a 3rd ACL tear and no little to no production prior to that.

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
