I'll own it. I said Murray would likely shred the Panther defense and I was wrong. Of course, the Panther D we saw yesterday wasn't the same one we've seen thus far. I was pleasantly surprised that Curtis Samuel actually caught a couple passes and there were D-lineman in the Arizona backfield more than once.

Yeah. And it is across the board on the defense. Didn't see that one coming. 

If it keeps improving game to game, it's going to be great.

It was impressive. But at the same time, the Panthers have had some good juju against the Cardinals for the last 6 years or so. That was win 5 in a row against them. Also, Kingsbury’s offense is pretty predictable and Murray is pretty average when you stop his scrambling. Hopkins was pretty obviously not 100% as well. And I do think Rhule and Snow’s experience against Kingsbury and Murray in the college ranks have them some advantage too.

Either way that was a great defensive performance, but I think they had some help too.

If they have that kind of performance against a team that has just completely owned the Panthers in recent years in the Falcons, I will really be excited to exorcise those demons.

For more reasons than one. 7 catches for 49 yds, but I think the bigger picture is where is his head after what occurred in Houston. Guy is one of the best WRs in the league, but he doesn't look happy playing the game, which has always been his trademark. I know he's dinged a little, but is he going to be just another excellent player fading into obscurity by playing on teams that can't get him the ball?

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
