I hate the Pats enough that for that game (and the Aints and Falcons games) I don't care who wins. Either way a team I hate gets a win and a team I hate loses. Well I guess it's different if one of the teams has a bad record or if one of our division rivals directly affects us (ideally it shouldn't if we just take care of our own business, but of course it happens and that's an exception) but this early in the season, I don't really care.

I like the fact that we’ve gotten by Buffalo and NE 2-0. NO lost to NE and Atlanta lost to Buffalo. Hopefully they continue to ruin the other teams records. 

The loss to the Aints hurts more than a Bills loss would have though. We need divisional wins.

Perhaps this thought would help clarify. The Bucs are losing to the Giants as of this post. If they lose today and the Pats beat them Thursday the Bucs will be buried at the bottom of the NFC South at 1-3.

That makes no sense. Atlanta is 3-1 like us. How could you possibly be OK with the Pats losing to them?

Also, FYI, the Pats already beat the Saints, otherwise the Saints would be 3-1 too.

I always root for our division opponents to lose, especially to an AFC team which cannot hurt us. If we were going for a wild card or a bye and the Saints were 6-9, then I would root for them to beat another NFC team that would help us get to the playoffs.

I hate Pats and division rivals equally. I want them all to lose every game they play. But when they play each other, barring an unlikely tie, somebody's gotta win and I tend to not really care which it is. I did say that it does depend on whether the game directly affects us in which case I'd pull for Pats, or if one team already has a terrible record where a win wouldn't help them but hurts the other team (in which case I root for the shittier team). Ultimately though the Panthers just need to take care of business. I don't want to have to rely on our division rivals losing for our situation to be better.

The Saints destroyed us. The Bills loss would have made us 2-2. That said, the past is already in the record book, we are talking about the future and I am rooting for every AFC East team against our division opponents.

I know we got destroyed by the Aints, you were bringing up how you were glad we got by the Bills and I was just responding by saying if we had to lose one of our first 4 games I'd rather it be against the Bills than Aints, but yes ultimately it is what it is.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
