True. That's the stuff we gotta fine tune. The NFC West looks like a division of playoff teams. We have to beat out at least one of them to make the playoffs. Luckily, they have to beat up on each other. We can make it in, but we have to put teams away. We have not played a team yet that has their crap together. That's not taking away from our success, but it's just a fact. Looking at the schedule, I'm not sure that even happens until we play the Cardinals on Nov. 14. Watching the Cowboys and Vikings makes me believe they may not be a playoff caliber team. Still wondering about Philly and New England as well.  Cards are the first sure-fire playoff team on the schedule in my opinion. 

This team does not have it's crap together on offense and special teams either, and they still are winning convincingly.   Imagine what it will look like when they do get it together.

I totally agree. That's why I am saying we have some things to fine tune. Special teams was pretty horrible. Dude that blocked that field goal strolled on in, but like FreeFua pointed out, if Marshall doesn't slip then the play likely doesn't happen. 

Like I said, if we can play the whole game the way we play our first halves, sky is the limit. We are winning the games on our schedule, that's all you can ask. The scores have made it seem closer than it was. I say this with no hesitation: IF SAM DARNOLD DOES NOT THROW THAT INTERCEPTION, SAINTS DO NOT SCORE.

Sam Darnold looked really good yesterday particularly in the first half. If we can string together two of our first halves in a single game…..that’s a playoff team.

He’s got to get the idiotic plays out of his system. At a critical moment in the game he had a boneheaded turnover that allowed the Saints to cut the lead to 10 points. Our team responded well and bailed Sam out but we didn’t need that error.

That is almost a certainty.  The only points we've surrendered were due to our own blunders.

AGREED. They never should have been that close. It was total domination. I just wish the scoreboard would show that. We have to clean that up. Allowing teams to stick around has been our issue for years.

I mean, 26-7 is an ass-whooping in the NFL any way you slice it.  The crazy thing is we very easily could of had 40.  I thought the same thing after the first game.  They are leaving a lot of points out there.  When the offense puts it all together, to go with this defense.....ohhhh weeeeee mayne.  LOOK OUT!

Yeah, but it's not a, "We just held them to 128 yards." kinda score. Bills won like 35-0. That's the score that says, "We held Kamara to .6 yards per rush." Lol!

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So what is more important? what he did on the Saints the year before last or how he compares to a ROOKIE who clearly had problems adjusting to the LEAGUE last year on another team and it effecting win/losses? smh And you say im all over the place.  Also, i clearly gave explanations for how the seattle game played out. Its rare a qb has to throw the ball 63 times so to think it would have been a theme for the season is ludicrous... the even bigger point is that its not necessarily his fault if he has to do it in the first place like he was calling the plays but for some strange reason you continue to hold that against Dalton as if its all on him and not the guys around him racking up penalties. If he is old terrible as you say it shouldnt matter how bad the defense was he played, he shouldnt have been able to throw for over 300 yds on them with no turnovers. But this is the narratives people pushed all season, why didnt bryce turn around and destroy and even worse defense against a winless vikings the next week? Do i need to layout how dumb this logic is even more?

      I love to bash them for this move but its smart..  They have a team that can win the NFCS this year, but yet they are picking in the top 10 now.  Cousins contract is really only a 2 year deal. So Penix can sit and learn with no pressure for 2 years and in year 3 when Cousins guaranteed money is over they can plug in Penix.  If they were not in a position to win the South this year then I think this would have been bad trade, but its smart and they can afford it.

      Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
