Cowboys on a short week, Panthers on a long week

And posters need to lay off of the hand wringing posts about how ‘historically we do bad after a bye or a long week’ since this is a new regime and so far they’ve bucked the bad trends of the Rivera era. 
 

Excited to see what our guys can do with the extra rest and planning. 

Agreed.  Rhule is more like Bellicick than Rivera in this regard

I don't know how good they are yet.  I will reserve opinions until after tonight.

I am concerned about their WRs now with Horn out.    Need pass rush to dominate.

 

But the extra few days to prepare and recover from injury will absolutely help.   They have less time to study our defense and will be banged up from Monday night.

Going to be good…or bad…it will be the Panthers first match up against a legitimate team.

You don't think the Saints are legitimate? 

They dominated against Green Bay and New England!

Yea they beat GB and NE…that’s the point. The team we played was not that team. With the issues they had, no.

They literally had so many coaches out some scrub was calling subs and doing 10 other things he had no clue how to do.

Of course, are the Panthers legitimate without CMC and Horn? Meh, debatable. But one could look at last year when CMC was down (and everyone said we will be fine) and no Horn and a much better oline (shockingly). Seems we have a better qb though, but it was sad. I am not as optimistic as some without cmc with this oline. I think shits about to get bad and this place will implode.

In a COVID year everything is patchwork like last year so what’s considered legitimate or not will be very fluid and different from any other year, but in general, no, I don’t consider the Saints team the Panthers played legitimate. That team would be 0-3.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
