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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
