Winners

Mike Goodson: Workhorse tonight. Some great running, some great pass blocking...at times, a SICK catch....continues to impress. Decent on kickoff returns as well.

Steve Smith: Great to see him back. He looks like Superman as usual.

Tyler Brayton: Had some nice pressure at times.

Everette Brown: Ditto. Plus he did more than just spin like a top.

Kenny Moore: Looks like not only will he make the team, he's going to be the slot receiver. Good for him, he looks uber-comfortable on the field.

CJ Wilson: Had some solid coverage at times.

Losers

Chris Gamble: Remember that game where Fred Smoot was destroyed by #89? Gamble looked like Smoot tonight, although Flacco had an eternity to throw.

Ryne Robinson: I don't think he played tonight even though he's not injured as far as I know. He's gone.

Dwayne Jarrett: Leapfrogged by Moore. Ouch.

Quinton Teal: Didn't look good at all. Blown coverages and tackles.

Landon Johnson: Looked slow and very bad.

Chris Harris: Added to the misery of the secondary with some more blown coverages and missed tackles.

Damione Lewis: No pressure generated at all.

=======================================

Also, Dan Connor was okay, but didn't look nearly as good as a starter. It was good to see Peppers at least show up on a few plays as well and I think Nikki Hayden Panettiere continues to improve where she's not such a game-blowing liability. She's still bad, but at least you can think about letting her see the field during the regular season at times now.

How about giving the offensive line some love? I thought they gave Jake plenty of time and blocked well enough for Goodson to make some plays. This was a very good Baltimore defense and I think the offense played pretty well.

With that said the biggest loser is the defense. They can't tackle, they don't generate much pressure with the front four, they don't cause turnovers (1st team defense has yet to get a turnover), and they are VERY poorly coached. Meeks is a tool and this should be his only season with the panthers, I think Fox should start calling the plays or something, he is terrible. And I'm glad Gamble thinks he should shadow the best receiver because he got absolutely abused tonight. They were picking on our BEST defensive back and made him look silly. The lack of pass rush didn't help matters but geez. Oh and teams will throw to the backs over the middle ALL year long if we continue to let them run around completely uncovered. I don't care that it is preseason, we look like a bottom 5 defense right now, if we play like this we won't win 8 games and I promise DeAngelo won't gain more than 900 yards because we will be behind in every game.

Jake was the reason we couldn't convert any third downs. He did nothing of note. We scored a total of 3 points and converted a total of 0 third downs with him in there.

Jake went 11-16 for 180 yards. If you think he was the reason we lost then you're hopelessly biased.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
