Going out on a limb here and saying that they probably aren’t the #1 D anymore

Haven't looked at stats but amazingly they could still be #1 or pretty damn high, they had a crazy margin between them and the #2 if I remember correctly. Which speaks to how great that offensive performance was because they are definitely a top D. Just no match for us.

Again our home game the whole broadcast was ravens centric the broadcasters new very very little about the Panthers other than cam Newton being 6 foot five and 250

Being a professional sports announcer you would expect them to do their homework at the very least, but in their defense it was a CBS broadcast who has a contract to carry AFC games. While I would expect these guys to be all about the NFL the teams they focus on on a weekly basis are in the AFC. 

Dont get me wrong, it bugs the heck out of me too, but unlike the jackholes from Fox they have a small excuse.

Rivera was giving props to his staff and was giving kudos to Matso and Wharton for their scheming. I noticed that the linemen were positione closer together and Cam stayed pretty tight to the pocket and climbed it when pressured. Seems they were watching film and Kalil was excellent in his protections. Today he earned his salary and was stout.

    • I think it's short sighted to judge a QB or HC in a vacuum. They both need good players to be successful. That's the GM's role. And he's young in his role too. His general experience in the league gives him a bit of an advantage/perspective that everyone doesn't have. But he still has to perfect his role as a GM.  But whether they're good or not, they are young in their roles. That is the point I was making. Could they be better at what they do? Of course. But it's hard to have early success when you have so many major areas still figuring out how to do their jobs at the same time. Asking a QB to pass for 4000 yards when neither of his 2 best WRs have played a full season is a tall task. Asking a HC to be an effective HC while he's calling plays when he's only done it for 3 years, and he has a young roster is a tall ask. Especially with a roster with so many holes and lack of talent. But that young label is definitely coming to its end. It's about time to start showing major improvements on offense, defense and coaching. Dan has had 3 drafts/offseasons to improve the roster. Dave has had 2 training camps. Bryce has had 3 seasons, though that first season was a pretty tough situation for anyone to learn, let alone have success. The QB is on the hotseat. Mostly because it's pay up or shut up time. He's ran out of time. Doesn't matter if he has reasons or not.  Not getting into the other stuff. Too many layers to pull back.
