So who did you have being the first team eliminated from playoff contention this year?

It ain't the Dolphins.

That ignominous distinction belongs to the Cincinnati Bengals.

As to us, we're not mathematically eliminated yet, but the odds ain't great. Last I checked I think it's something around 12 or 13% probability of us making the playoffs.

It's that time of year when these sorts of announcements start being made, so winning is extremely important.

I’ll say this. There are some bad teams in the nfl this year, but you would be hard pressed to show me two worse losses than what the falcons and niners did to this team. 
 

id give you the dolphins first two games and what the ravens did to the bengals a few weeks ago, but that’s probably it.

that pats vs jets MNF game was by far the worst slaughter of the season. Id also say the falcons loss is way worse than the niners. at least we put up some offense in that one.

Ravens over the Texans this past Sunday.  

Week before Falcons over the Saints 

Week before despite GB scoring late to mask it some the Chargers flat out embarrassed them 

Then us vs 49ers

Patriots over Jets 

Week before that Broncos shutting out the Titans 

I mean almost every week someone gets totally dominated 

Heck early on the Browns dominated the Ravens.   Score was 40-18 with 30 seconds left

Division rival who is 2-7 comes to your house & dominates you, & the only score you get is a useless field goal that I guess in theory is supposed to make you feel better. You instantly go from somewhat hopeful contender to exposed pretender. Yeah, that's about as bad as it gets.

Yeah we either have a terrible GM,Coach or both. This year has been hard to watch at times.

When was the last time we actually beat the Falcons? 2015?

Good news is this Saints game coming up will probably make the Falcons game seem not so bad

Which is it, in your opinion?

What's your official position on Riverboat and Hurndog as it relates to them being employed by the Panthers in the 2020 season?

Will either remain employed with the team next year?

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
