Why are we panicking?

The jaguars 44-7 against the ravens? The bills beating the broncos after how they looked against us? The bengals beating green bay after how they've looked? Chicago beating PIttsburgh after how they've looked? The Vikings smashing TB with a backup QB? (even though they didn't necessarily look bad with their starting QB, still). 

Its a weird start of the season in the NFL and no one is looking particularly good or consistent week in and week out. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs and Oakland lost.

No need to panic. We aren't an outlier and don't look any worse than anyone else really. The sad texans almost beat Patriots at home. Yea, they're banged up on offense...just like us.

You guys need to chill and wait until we get more evidence to think we're hopeless and headed to a losing record this year.

Evidence?  How many more seasons of this poo do you need to see before it starts to sink in?

The record isn't panic worthy, but considering the stretch of games we are about to go through, today was as close to a must win as you can have in week 3.

 

This season is still very salvageable, if the right changes are made on offense. Unfortunately, I have no confidence that anything will change.

Not concerned about anyone else!  What more evidence do you need???

Top 5 draft choice????????????  Maybe not!  But pretty dang close!!

Better be finding a QB quickly! Very quickly!

Dude i've seen this story a million times. Things can change fast week to week. This is the NFL. This is the same as when we're down 14 points after the 3rd quarter and everyone says "uggh, game over"....and there's a whole quarter left. I'm not buying what the rest of you are selling. You act like this is your first year watching the NFL. The jaguars and Bengals didn't necessarily look like they could put up points either the first 2 weeks and they did out of nowhere, so...yea, not buying it. We could put up 30 points next week and it wouldnt surprise me..because its the NFL.

Yes the NFL is a up and down league, but the only consistent thing we've seen is that the offense sux... That's where the concern is, if we can't move the ball and put up points against that defense, what's the light going forward? Adjustments? Shula?

This was supposed to be our coming out party on offense, and our solidification as an elite defense. It was a good look against a terrible defense. This was our day at our home field.

Instead, we turned out to be just what the doctor ordered for them to get back on track. We were the patsies.

You guys are nuts here. No, i'm not a new panther fan at all, the reason im a fan is because they came out as an expansion team when i was first starting to get into football. I'm just a REALISTIC fan and not a bipolar fan. I've seen this narrative a million times in the NFL and there's really nothing to panic about right now. If the Bills can beat the patriots and put up all those points save for a last minute touchdown, not sure why we can't. Yea, it doesn't look likely with the injuries and offense, but again...a lot of things haven't looked likely this week and still happened.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.

      Reminder: A team lead by Matt Rhule/Steve Wilks got us this result…..

      well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn.

      JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
