Do you think that's possible? In the past under Rivera when we've had huge wins, we've had very close nailbiter wins the following week. Won on the last play of the game vs. New England after the San Francisco win in 2013. Survived a Hail Mary just short of the end zone against Miami after beating New England. Won 21-20 over the Falcons after the win against the Saints in the rain. 

 

I think this will follow that same formula. We'll probably get down early against Philly and people will be wanting to jump off cliffs and then we'll fight back in the 4th to win it by 3 points or less.

In 2013 when the Panthers traveled west to SF and won a tough battle against a great team, they followed that up by defeating the New England Patriots on MNF. That's right, Tom Brady and the Patriots. That game was followed by a 4th quarter comeback win against the Dolphins in Miami.

The reason I bring this up is because Rivera brought up the similarities to the 2013 game on the west and then playing NE at home on MNF, to going out to Seattle and getting the W and now playing the Eagles at home on SNF.

 

exactly, when we lose it won't be because we aren't prepared or taking a team lightly, it will be because they were simply the better team that day! Rivera has them in the right mindset and I don't for see either one of the next two teams as simply better than us.

Possible? It is possible the Lions could be the Patriots.  NFL.   All it takes is one person not doing their job and any team can lose to anyone.

Forgot that Dolphins game came after those two.  That was an epic three game stretch.

      Wild Card QB Performance Rankings

      Horn was open on the first play but Bryce was trying to get the ball to Coker. First play the Rams were in cover 1 with a robber that did a great job of taking Coker and TMac away. Pressure got to the QB late as Moton was pushed on top of Bryce and he ended up throwing it away. Horn was open early underneath. Exactly what you're looking for here and he should have thrown to Horn. Maybe could have had Coker or TMac run the dig there instead, because the robber played both their routes perfectly taking them out of the equation. Throw away.  Second play the Rams are in cover 3. Yosh gives up immediate pressure. Coker and TMac were open but Bryce was already escaping the pocket and immediately turned into a scramble drill. No WR got open after that. So had to throw the ball away. Third play the Rams were back into Cover 1 with the robber. Ball is thrown to Horn but he was held by his defender and couldn't get to the ball. Perfect pass. Perfect. DPI or defensive holding should have been called.  Fourth play the Rams are back in Cover 1 no robber this time. TMac and Coker are running deep routes again. Jimmy pops open on the dig again with his man trailing. It's the right read. Good pass. Not perfect, but plenty good enough. Horn  loses focus and drops it.  No one was really schemed open in any of those plays. The second play was the only one that TMac and Coker were open, but the immediate pressure took the QB off his spot where he had to escape the pocket. I really don't know when he could have forced it to Coker or TMac. Maybe the last play. Deep safety was shading TMac. Coker had 1 on 1 running a fly, but the CB stayed on top the entire time. Maybe a deep back shoulder attempt. But Jimmy was open for the first.

      I generally start w/ his sub par offensive production, inability to threaten the entire field like you would hope a franchise QB has the ability of in his backpocket.....and then get into his unicorn size.  how consistently below average and weak our offense has been under his direction (every season) IS the starting point of the Bryce "haters" convo.  I mean, take a Caleb Williams and a Bryce Young.  Forget draft status (despite it being identical)......they are world's apart if you just look at them as NFL only prospects.   They are basically Arnold and Danny from the movie twins.   Bryce basically is a likeable human and Caleb has all the other traits.
