Yup. We're essentially playing with house money at this point.  Hopefully we keep it going, but I'm also just hoping to see continued progress from the defense, our young guys, and Darnold. If we end us losing, show me positive signs at least. 

That said, let's go fug their world up. 

Yeah. These type of seasons are fun. Unexpectedly solid team. I went into this season hoping for 2 or 3 more wins than last year and to remain competitive. This team is super young, you just wanna see growth and so far we have seen that. I still say if we only win 4 or 5 more games this season it’s a successful season. Answer some questions about Darnold and some of the young oline pieces we have. I think this team can hang with anyone even with our injuries last game.

This usually goes one of two ways: either we keep winning and make a run, or the losing streak starts.

We should know by this evening.

I'm not really worried about the losing streak starting now. Next week is Philly. The next tough team we'll face with be Minnesota in 2 weeks. That will be a tough match-up. After that it's NYG, @Atl which we'll need to be careful but they don't look very good and then NE with a rookie QB.

Here's something from David Newton that I like:

Quote

Countered Newton: “Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold will outperform Dallas’ Dak Prescott -- mainly because he’ll be under less duress. The Panthers lead the NFL in sacks (14) and quarterback hits (27....They are facing a Dallas team that gave up four sacks to the Eagles on Monday night.”

I look forward to seeing Dak on the ground.  One of the things I read somewhere is that Dak does not do a good job feeling pressure.  I hope he feels it in his bones today.

This. We don't HAVE to win today for me to come out of it with a positive feeling. A win would obviously be preferable, but competing, having a chance to win, and basically looking like we belong on the field with what looks to be a pretty good NFL team would be an overall positive sign.

just hoping our offense can score enough points.  I believe in our defense.

The Eagles had 303 yards passing, and 64 yards rushing and 2 TOs..  We need to protect and run the ball, it looks like we will be able to pass.  Sam needs a good day.  Cmon Sam, good day today.

This game will be about our offensive production, period.  Dallas will put up some points, nothing crazy, but don't expect us to hold our 10 point per game average here.  We will probably have to put up over 24 points to win.  Our defense will slow Dallas, but won't be able to shut them down, so the Panthers offense has to bring it today.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
