Is Atlanta a must win?


Randolph Panther

Recommended Posts

It's not a must win.  It will be week 4 on the road and the NFC South is bad.  Even at 1-3 the Panthers would still have a good chance to win the South.  I don't think we have to worry about it though.  Atlanta doesn't have the players on defense to disrupt the Panthers offense like Denver and Minnesota.

It's not a must win but I'll officially be worried about our team if we lose it.

Yes, it's a must-win. This team has no discipline nor does it have brains (the coaching staff remains incapable of adjusting). If we lose to Atlanta, then I'll bet on my soul that we go 5-11 or 6-10. Forget 7-9. We have all the athleticism and size and physicality in the world but what good is it if our coaches can't harness its true potential.

If we lose to Atlanta, unpack your bags because our boys will be staying home after December. Hell, that might as well be the case now since we let Bradford and that horrendous Vikings OL beat us at home.

If we were 0-3 it still wouldn't be a must win. Most people are just way too reactionary to September games. We haven't played a single divisional game yet.

I really don't care for the "must-win" term and the way it's thrown around.  It's become the ASAP of the sports world.

To me "must-win" means that if we lose we're not capable of making it to the post season and thus we "must win".  So no - this game is not a must-win game.

This game is important for us to win without a doubt.  It would be great for the team morale and it would keep us on pace with the rest of our division.  It would be equally bad for morale to drop to 1-3 but still we would not be eliminated from anything.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
