That same Aints team with a full staff just lost to the Giants

They beat a good Packers team and smothered a New England team that took TB down to the wire... I would say NO isn't as bad as the loss to the Giants, or as good as beating GB, but some place between...

My prediction:  we will be in the playoffs this year.

Even after yesterday's poor performance, we've allowed only 66 points -- best in the NFC, and (probably after tonight) 3rd in the NFL, behind only Buffalo and Denver.

Only 1 team, Arizona, has a better record than our 3-1.

3 wins out of every 4 games we play will equal 9-3 when we reach our bye week.  Of the next 8 games we play, only Arizona has won more games than they've lost.

The team sounds like they took this loss as a wake up call.

This season is far from over.

Before the season started If you told me we would be 3-1 at this point I would be ecstatic.

Without our best weapon we went toe-to-toe with a really good team on the road yesterday and were in it until the end. 

Size matchup vs our DL was a problem and that’s not surprising.

We were up at halftime and eventually lost by one possession to a very good Dallas team that easily could be undefeated right now.  

We lost the game because of the 3rd quarter.  That's a bummer, but really I came away from that game optimistic as hell.  The offense kept humming.  The defense started making some stops in the 4th, although not quite enough.  

I feel great about where this team is at.

Chinn isn't a FS but we are forcing him to play most snaps at FS.

This is glaring. We’ve taken away a lot of what chinn does well by moving him to FS. 
 

I like Chinn in the box and making plays in the run game. Not chasing down receivers after blown assignments.

It boils down to the Panthers had a cupcake first 3 weeks with 2 rookie QBs on bad teams and a Saints team led by Famous with a weakened roster/staff with covid and injuries. 
 

The secondary looked completely lost in the second half. I’m not sure if losing Horn was a reason yet. Their OLine looked like it was twice the size of our DLine. I didn’t like that matchup at all. 
 

They ran into a stud QB on a loaded team who will probably challenge for the NFC. Need to take this game and throw it in the trash and move on 

After reading your first sentence, I was prepared to poo you, but you're actually spot on. We faced 2 rookie QB's on bad teams, and a good NO team that came in cocky after taking GB to the woodshed. The fact that a lot of the coaches were missing certainly didn't help their odds.

Our secondary WAS out of sorts yesterday. It was the first game for the 2 guys lining up across from Jackson, CJ had only been on the team a few days, and AJ was signed to play nickel. Both are a huge step down from how well Horn had played. Luckily, our next "hard" game is weeks away, so they can hopefully improve.

Dallas really is pretty damned good on both sides of the ball. If they keep playing like this, they should go far into the playoffs. And we certainly didn't roll over for them. Without those 2 turnovers in the 2nd half, and blown call on the 1 in the 1rst half, we probably win this. On to the next game, Maybe we'll get that rematch in January.

I’m glad you came to your senses sir

Sup catman, hope all is well.

I thought they were a 7 win team before the start, but I seen a decent chance at going 8-1 or even 10-2. I think believe they could easily pass my 7 wins number.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By top dawg · Posted

      Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By rayzor · Posted

      I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through

      I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
