Moving On To Week 6


Recommended Posts

Chicago at Carolina 

Here we are, 3-2 and tied for first in the NFC South a postion I am sure most didn't expect us to be in I certainly didnt.

That said pending the results of MNF we it could be a three way tie, Given the fact that the playoffs were expanded to three wild card teams with only one team getting a bye week, seeding could be far less important especially considering Covid has severely dampered HFA. 

Bears at Panthers is a potentially huge game given their 4-1 record and the weight of a H2H tiebreaker, LETS go Panthers!

Outside of one magical string of games, Nick Foles is a loser and this game is very winnable 

I agree, He's hot and cold and it's far more often cold, and despite that Bears fan that dropped in this week their "Top 8" (#8) defense isn't terribly impressive it's definitely not elite. I think we will goad Foles into a turnover or two and win the game... In a few ways this is a key early season game as far as playoff chances go.

Bears pass rush scares me more than anything. I think our D can do a good job containing their offense. Rhule, Brady and Snow may very well be the difference again this game -- I think they can outcoach Nagy and company.

The Bears edge rush is great, Luckily our Tackles are actully the strength of our offensive line this season...

The Bears offense totally sucks. Like the worst we have faced all year bad. Their defense though is close to what Tampa Brings. Definitely want be a offensive show.

    • The Panthers did a great job of countering the Falcons' pass rush in the run game. They utilized veteran wideout David Moore, a good run blocker on the perimeter, as the motion man to help with crack-toss plays and trap blocks. It was also interesting to see more Sean McVay wide zone concepts in Canales’ version, especially with the “insert” concept that is a table in these systems.   Second-year cornerback Chau Smith-Wade didn’t come out of the gates hot, but settled in and put forth a fine performance. His spacing in zone coverage tightened up and it began to have an impact later on—like on his pick-six of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. He also showcased good matching capabilities while having some impressive man reps and tackles in space. You have to appreciate how well Ejiro Evero’s defense rallied to the football. Some runs that would, in the past, go for chunk yardage were contained. Tackling was improved on all three levels of the field. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was once again the leader in receiving yards (48) on Sunday, but he struggled away from the box score with a couple of drops. As head coach Dave Canales noted Monday afternoon, the Falcons did a great job staying in phases on McMillan, especially at the top of routes. Rookie safety Lathan Ransom showed more flashes of control as a tackler. He continues to show the physicality that is needed in Evero’s defense while having the athleticism and downhill burst to click and close sideline to sideline or north/south. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/23/panthers-film-review-falcons-week-3/86308214007/
    • Horn + Jackson + Smith-Wade might be the best CB trio we've had in a minute.
    • I think we would have had a good shot. I believe at the time we had already traded for the first overall pick, so Baltimore could have then immediately get whatever replacement they wanted for Lamar in the draft or trade for someone else. I still am baffled we were one of the teams that put out that ridiculous statement about not pursuing Lamar.   Yeah, let’s not trade for the franchise carrying, mvp winning, all pro top 5 qb in league to help take this franchise higher places. They should have at least tried. They were willing to go all in on Watson but not Lamar, I don’t understand Tepper.
