Who's feeling worse today?

Cutler had a rough start, but he played very well in the second half. He will be fine, and the Bear's offense will get on track.

I actually feel better today because the situation at Carolina seems to have hit a critical mass. The Jake and/or Fox apologists have no more to say. If they try to find a bright light, they just look foolish. The predictability and hyper-conservativeness of Fox and inconsistent play of Jake have been a problem for several seasons, but have been disguised by hope and occasional flashes of what could be. We have bottomed out and can now start looking up. There is a lot of talent on this team. If we get someone in there who knows how to drive, we will be fine. We don't need a major rebuild, just a few key pieces and we're back in bidness.

i left wilmington yesterday just before 6 am, tailgated, watched the L, ate steak and shake at the 485 lynx station, then headed back home. after lots of food, 11 beers, 1 loss, and ~9 hrs round trip on the road with stops I FEEL HORRIBLE. i am a little sunburned, deprived of sleep, and have heard ish from all these Yankees today about my favorite team.

Here's the difference....today, Cardinals fans are thinking "oh man, don't tell me we're gonna suck again..." Bears and Panthers fans are saying "you have GOT to be kidding me...how did this happen?" But Bengals fans....Bengals fans are saying "mother *&&^^% sonofa &^&^ing (*&*&^!!!!"

I wouldn't pat Mcnabb on the back too much. He had a pretty easy game of it yesterday. That, plus the rib injury is another notch in the column of those who think he's fragile and/or injury prone. If Vick gets a start up in Philly, get ready for one of the nastiest QB controversies ever.

Philly may have beaten us pretty badly, but we may also have put a serious crack in their season.

Bullshit, McNabb wont miss significant time and how many times do we have to see black QBs whoop our teams ass before we decide to get one of our own? After you talked all that poo about McNabb being soft and not a leader this offseason and how Jake's "leadership" and "fiery spirit" makes him a better QB, how do you look now? McNabb was the best QB on the field yesterday and if he came to Carolina would instantly be the best we ever had.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
