On Sirius NFL this am they were discussing why all NFL for the most part are against the new OT rules.

Both the Bengals and Panthers played 5 full quarters last week. Both teams showed absolutely nothing from the very first snap on Sunday.

Now we would have been beaten regardless bc of our D being a bad matchup but the playing a full q more than any team the week prior didn't probably help things

Doesn't explain why the defense looked it worst in the first quarter and gradually improved. If fatigue is the reason, they would have gotten worse as the game went on.

Maybe GB just eased up considering it was over at the first quarter.

Looked more like Rodgers had resorted to trying to get as many people stats as he could as the game went on and his emphasis was on just spreading it around for the sake of that.

I don't think he even looked at Jordan Nelson after the first q. Too easy to do that

If this was the first time we had been blown out this season, I would have agreed with you. But we've seen this poor showing week in and week out. Besides, didn't Rivera give them lots of time off practice or something like that?

Well I made sure to note we would have been beaten soundly regardless....

But at least in some other beatdowns like Pitt we were in it for chunks. This game was over 10 minutes in

Started in New England in the preseason, but we all dismissed it as an aberration.

I think this had a big impact on the Panthers getting blown out.  The Bengals/Panthers game was grueling on both teams. At least the Bengals were at home and only had to travel a few hours west to Indianapolis the next week, but they got trounced worse than the Panthers.  Going into next week, the Panthers starters only played 3/4 of a game and get to play at home against a Seahawks team making two cross country trips in a row. Things should turn around...right?

Do what? Pretty sure both teams scored 37 points apiece. To say that "both teams showed absolutely nothing" is asinine!

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
