Please stop saying we are a bad road team

Losing to Minny and Tampa at home is nothing to cough at. Minny has been said to be one of the toughest places to play in the league and Tampa is almost as good as us at home. With that said I have nothing to say about the Atlanta lost, I think we should have beaten them.

We came out flat and they were able to take advantage (credit to them). We did work our way back to down 24-21 in the 4th. Then a Godfey (or Marshall) slip let them get 'goal to go' where they took 4 downs to score. The punt return and onside kick made the score more lop-sided. In the end, they won and deserved the win.

We are not a bad road team. 3-3 in this league is not bad. Its not great, but its not bad. We are a great home team.

And fwiw, of all our road losses, Minnesota was the one we should have won. Half time lead, and We shut down Peterson. Lost to Gus Ferrotte.

Atlanta is a good team and we had no reason to expect we would beat them in their place.

We could have beaten Minnesota. The fumble did us in, and like in Tampa we were overall "out of it" that day. Moreover, in Tampa Murphy's Law played an integral part in the loss. Atlanta pretty much beat us soundly. The Falcons were motivated, and we weren't.

That game actually woke us up out of a funk, and now we are playing at an optimal level which should bode well for this weekend.

I didnt see where we were called a "bad road team", maybe I missed the posts.

3 road losses, all to playoff teams with a combined 17-2 home record...inexcusable.

Road wins are tough to come by. In the NFL if you can go .500 on the road your doing pretty damn good, and your gona make the playoffs 90% of the time.

biggest complaint about us is that we have lost a couple games on the road.

considering that it has only been three...our only three losses....and that those losses were before we got things clicking, i can live with that.

panthers always have something to prove.

this week panthers have to prove 3 things:

1) they can win an away game against a good team

2) they can win in the snow

3) they deserve the #1 seed and are the best team in the NFC

panthers play best when they have something to prove.

there it is.

      Bills predictions

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah it is nice seeing some improvement on the defensive side and the young guys.   I don’t want to think about the future much if Bryce doesn’t heal and we are kept in this limbo via an incomplete test. It is depressing  I don’t have quite as dim a view of the 24 draft class as you do   I have modest hopes for XL compared to none. I like CSW.  Am a little cooler on Sanders but at the same time realized this week that Morgan getting that future 2nd for moving down turned into Scourton. I think. Jackson is a real value in exchange for the guy we took with the 7th. I don’t expect anything from Brooks but Wallace seems to have improved enough to not bust. And Coker is in with them, but is giving us nothing this year. So far, and it is almost half over     I hope Andy still has enough to make watching the offense less of a claustrophobic experience. And there is a small chance we upset the Bills but just playing them tough and making it a fun game to watch will be enough.

      Bryce haters gunna hate.  Can't change that. Bryce has been pretty durable all things considered.  A couple minor injuries considering how much he was hammered year 1.  And he still takes hits.  Dude is tough. The play in question is a football play, poo happens.  That's ultimately what happened.  Guys running around, trying to stop Young and stuff happened.  Sucks but that's how it goes. For me, I'd rather see Young play.  He will either prove that he's the Dude, a JAG (leaning heavily right now), or an outright bust (some of you were there on draft night, lol)

      Seth Walder: Regrading 8 trades from the 2024 NFL trade deadline

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think we need to let the 2025 class develop. Remember at one point early during last season the 2024 class was gonna be a killer. And we had all kinds of people chirping about how the 2021 Draft was the greatest of all time. Early returns are promising. Let's hope it continues.
