Most critical 4 game stretch ever?!?!?

So, do you all think our next four games are the most critical series we have ever had, not including end-of-season or post-season?

If we can come out of this with at least two wins, I think we are still in very good shape in the NFC.

Ideally, we'll come out at 4-0, but GB, SEA, NO, and PHI could ultimately shape the tone of the rest of the season for us.

Beat GB, SEA, and PHI, and it is ultimately another L against each of them once the end of the season positioning race begins.

GB has looked average at times, and has trouble with teams built like ours.

SEA has looked very bipolar this year. I don't think Dallas is as good as they are playing, and I never thought they would beat Seattle at Seattle.

 

PHI is playing rather well for their talent level, and honestly worries me the most.

 

NO is our only real competition for the NFCS... Even that might be giving them too much credit, though... but a W is a W when it comes to your division...

 

Cleveland could be a trap game... Minnesota doesn't scare me... Not scared at all of the Bucs or the Falcons...

Damn some of y'all can't read for poo.

 

On the Cleveland "trap" game... I figured we have a good shot at putting together a good little win streak going into that one, and thought we might overlook them based on their not-so-recent history...

That said, I'm still not that afraid of Brian Hoyer. The guy is having a great year so far, don't get me wrong, but he has good talent around him and hasn't really had THAT tough of a schedule tbqh. I think the Browns in general are riding a little high right now than they are in reality.

as bipolar as the NFL has been this season, no game is a given. Panthers will have to fight for 60 full minutes of every game they play. the upside to that is that if the Panthers do win the division/make the playoffs/have back-to-back winning records, it will be so much more sweet to enjoy. all that being said, we need to go 2-2 in the next four games, preferably winning the games against Green Bay and New Orleans. losing to Seattle and Philly wouldnt hurt us as much as losing a common game (GB) or a division game (NO). i think if we play to our talent level and get alittle luck, we can win all four games. i do believe these next four will define the rest of our season. 0-4 will be nearly impossible to rebound from. 1-3 is one of the more likely outcomes but wont be a total disaster. 2-2 is another likely outcome and would set us up nicely (especially with a division win against the saints), anything above 2-2 would be absolutely outstanding for our season.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
