-Gary Barnidge is finally starting to show his recieving ability along with the rest of our solid TE core. I really like all three of those guys.

-The offensive line is finally starting to gel this year. It took them a while, but they gave that quarterback of ours all the time in the world today

-Landon Johnson seemed to play much better than he has been for us. He was quick and aware today.

-Not Jake Delhomme

What did you guys like?

DJ was open a lot when he was on the field too, observation I had from being at the game. Now if only Jake would look his way more then three times in a game. Defense was lights out today too bad they got put on the field in such poor situations.

Like you, I liked the passes to the tight ends (specifically that nice one-handed snag by Rosario), as well as the passes to our backs.

I thought the defense as a whole played damned well today, and the line looked perhaps the best it has all season. Yes, this is against the Buffalo Bills, but Hollis Thomas seems to have transformed this line.

DJ looked to be a much better option on that last pick also....

- Hollis Thomas is a force inside, and he is keeping Beason free to fly around and make plays. Just what we needed.

- Our secondary is no longer out of position. As a result the defense is becoming confident and salty.

- Chris Harris... my god we got him for a 5th round pick lol. That guy lays wood, and he's smart.

- O-line is playing about as well as last season.

- Williams is like Barry Sanders, but bigger and stronger.

- Our TEs are coming to life.

All the pieces are in place for a playoff caliber team, all but 1. Jake is like an anchor dragging this team down, and losing to less talented teams is sickening. Consider if both teams played with the same player at QB. The Bills would have lost by double digits.

I saw that too. It looked like he had his man beat with no safety help over the top. What the hell was jake doing throwing into double coverage? Whats with his lack of confidence throwing to DJ?

Defense plays lights out. If we didn't turn the ball over, we probably would have shut them out. Also, Smitty did well today so it's good to see that we are still capable of getting him the rock. I was glad to see Goodson get a few touches. Too bad he didn't do anything with them.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
