Remember that NYG / NE regular season game....

I'm with you. As much as I hated losing this game...we gave the Giants every ounce they could handle us. They feared us before, they came out again but fear meeting us again.

Despite all the fire coming out of everyone's mouth, we have played three solid games in a row now. There's nothing to be ashamed of here. We can be disappointed because we missed opportunities and we let things slip through that we should not have. But if we play the way we did against the Giants, we'll cream just about everyone else in the league ... probably end up playing the Giants again, in New York again ... and put them in a position they don't want to be in.

I am 100 percent with you with this analogy ... we'll be motivated to get back to another crack at the Giants. Assuming we do continue to play solid football, a trip to the Super Bowl will be on the line when we meet them again.

We will beat the Saints and we'll get our rematch. You can't win them all, sometimes you have to pick your fights. This went to OT so the Giants had to play their absolute best just to pull this one out, so you can't say the Panthers suck on the road. Until the very last drive, the Panthers looked like the better team, but then again the last driveis all that matters. We'll bounce back.

If you heard some of them talking after this game and that loss to NE it sounds almost the same. They said things then about getting their offense back on track, getting back to playing good football, gaining confidence etc. They used Carolina the same way they used NE except they won.

Used, past tense? How do we know they won't lay a stinker in the Divisional playoffs and be one and done?

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
