According to ESPN's box score for the game, Matt Ryan was 20/27 today with 2 INT's. That leaves 5 non intercepted, non completed passing attempts.

According to that same box score, our defense managed to defense 6 pass attempts.

Either ESPN is bad at math (likely) or somehow two of our players defensed the same thrown ball on the same play.

 

 

All jokes aside, I know this is only a single game, but consider this: Matt Ryan is a veteran QB who is widely regarded as good but not great.  Veteran NFL QB's have become so proficient that unless the defense makes a great play, they complete almost all of their passes.

I mean, yeah.  I'm just saying though, I wouldn't say he was proficient or anything today.  

Oh, I definitely agree.  I just find it interesting that over the years, the Falcons have spent so much draft capitol on their receiving corps, but don't have much to show for it.

His RBs had a combined 10 catches.  He was checking down all game.  

I mean. when they say the game starts doing this just adjust the receiver catch ability down a bit to bring the QB % back down to normal and what I've found is you want to increase the DEF PI slider to about 80 or so to get the QB to look downfield. Otherwise, they just seem to check it down all game.

oh wait, this isn't a Madden thread?

Gilmore erased Pitts. I loved seeing that.

Also, I think after today's announcement by Ridley, it's clear we made the right choice with DJ over Ridley in the draft. 

(That said, I hope Ridley gets all the help he needs.)

I hope Ridley gets whatever help he needs, too. Even before this season I was happy with DJ over him...

Gilmore was great in his first game for us overall. Just picking up where he left off as an all pro, lol. Ifhe plays at this level all year I kinda doubt we can keep him, but we will see.

I mean....I am not gonna be upset if Ridley decides to sit the next game against us, as well. There are few players in the history of this series who have owned us like he has.

If he keeps playing like this we will surely keep him. He likes it here already. He may give us a hometown discount to stay. After all he has made millions already.  He is likely more interesting on whether he thinks we are a contender and he can start.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
