Depending on how we play against DET

Would you have predicted we would go 12-4 after game 2 last season?

 

Actually no. I was ready to give up on the season but the main difference this time is our defense being able to hold on to leads. Based on how they played the rest of the season and how they did in preseason this year, I think they have turned the corner for good. We just need to see Mr. Newton with his new toys to see how the season will go.

I will be ready to tell you guys if this is the year we win the SB or not. The defense is already in top form. I need to see how Cam plays. Don't forget, we were number 2 seed in the NFC last season.

 

I'm going to give you my honest opinion. You should wait a couple of more games into the season before you start analyzing whether this team is superbowl bound or not. Last year most people wrote us off for a less than .500 season after starting

1-3. It's especially silly to analyze the offense this sunday as a finished product when Cam has had limited practice so it may take him some games to get into a groove. Hell, Joe Flacco was ass last sunday but brought it yesterday and looked like a playoff qb. It's just stupid to analyze seasons so early let the team settle in both offense and defense including Cam.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
