I’m being an optimist here but I could see ESPN ranking us as high as 24th in their power rankings now. We might even move ahead of the 1-4 teams. 

I think we'll probably hit 22 or so this week in ESPN's rankings.

Maybe. We probably need to be 8-2 to get up to 21st.

I dunno... Those two losses are really damning!

Knowing ESPN, we prob moved down in the ranks.

Wouldn't be surprised... beating the Falcons by one score is practically a loss, after all.

What’s up with burns and Donte?

Burns was tested for a concussion and apparently held out as a precaution according to his brother.

Was game a nail biter? Last score i seen was 20-10 and Atl was in redzone, i had to turn phone off and drive my bus for 2 hours and now i see we won 23-16.

It felt like we were in control from the second qtr on, but if not for Burris's interception, it might have been a nail biter.   We were up by 7 when he picked it off in the end zone.  After that, we took it on a long slow drive down the field with Davis/Samuel chewing up yards on the ground to end with a fg that sealed the deal.

Meah who cares? We were 14-0 and they had the Cardinals over us at one point in 2015.

Dan Quinn fired as expected

no one has to. that’s fine. but if you’re going to take the time to look it up, as that poster did, then it’s pretty damn suspect to not then answer the question correctly. you don’t have to defend them, btw. you had nothing to do with the conversation.

i knew how long it had been. longer than it should have been for the money we’re paying mccaffrey. i’m fine with davis. i’m not fine with tying up huge chunks of cap in low value positions.

no, it worked fine. the person who quoted me carefully avoided answering the question, as did the people who pied their post. you can say that my question was in bad faith but you can’t say it was worse than the attempt to “answer“ it lol. some players get a pass for performing poorly (statistically) for periods of time on this forum where others do not. some players don’t get the benefit of ridiculous hype based on box score numbers where others do. in the 10 games since the last time mccaffrey broke 6 yards per carry (in which he was healthy enough to play), he has averaged 4 yards per attempt. if you just take the first two games of this season that number dips below 4. now we can talk about the context surrounding those numbers. but i don’t want to hear it from a single person who wants to obscure the context of bridgewater’s numbers, hiding behind stat lines instead of what anyone who has watched the games can see.

Dang my bad dude, here let me answer your question:

November 3rd, 2019

Oh btw, that still remains the last time a Panthers starter has averaged 6.0 YPC. So what was your point exactly? That no one can quite replicate CMC’s success? Quite an astute point, I agree.
