2 VERY winnable games ahead

Baltimore will have the best defense we’ve faced all season. It’s arguable they have the best in the NFL right now.

That’s the one I’m worried about the most out of all our future games - even moreso than the Saints. They have an offense that can do stuff and an elite defense to pair.

Ravens got the best D in the NFL. That game gonna be a real tough one.   

Gonna need much better offense than we have shown of late to win.  

Context is everything. They played the Bills, Broncos, Browns, and Titans. Not exactly offensive jugernauts. Andy Dalton shredded them and Brees shredded them in the 2nd half. If we wanna be a playoff contender this is a game we really should win

baltimore did hold brees in check for most of the game. 

if it wasn't for a missed extra point by tucker, they might have won that game.

on the other hand, it's kind of crazy to think the Panthers are essentially two plays away from being 6-0

the endzone pass to Moore against Atlanta where he almost made a miraculous catch underneath two defenders

the endzone pass to CmC against Washington where he had 2 steps on the defender and Cam slightly overthrew him 

if we converted those two plays, we're sitting at 6-0 right now

Baltimore has a balanced defense from top to bottom, but the Eagles have the best rotation of DL in the league and IMO are a tougher matchup for this offense than Baltimore. I do agree that the Panthers cant afford to get down early, have to start fast and put pressure on BAL offense.

Baltimore did look good defensively. They will, however, be facing a completely different look from our offense than they got this past week. 

And Tampa could be on the verge of either a breakthrough or a break-up. Schizo teams are always hard to play. Maybe they'll have decided who they are before they get to us.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
