Similar in a lot of ways to the Pats. Not much of a passing offense, a meh rushing offense (although will be better if McCaffery can go) and a decent defense. Banged up a bit but could give Mac trouble. Thinking this will not be a high scoring game.

Gilmore will be motivated but who knows how much of a real impact he would have. Maybe he'll cover Meyers? I guess?

I'd say probably 50-50 that Darnold will be able to come out of concussion protocol and play. He is using his legs a bit more this year and he hasn't really been known for that in the past.
Same with McCaffery playing.

PJ Walker is their backup and has no stats worth worrying about or sharing.

Rolled the Saints but somehow got clocked by the Giants.

Whether or not McCaffrey plays in this one makes it feel like two very different games, IMO. How you defend this offense changes a lot when he's not on the field.

Gilmore already had a pick in his first game back. I really hope he doesn't go off against us. He might be a bit rusty, but Mac better not throw those dangerous 50/50 balls toward him.

The good news is, prime Gilmore (if that's what he still is now) is at his best taking out the top receiver. The Patriots don't really have that definitive #1 guy. I'm guessing Gilmore splits between Agholor and Meyers, with the latter being his assignment on every 3rd down. TE's will be a big key in this one, if we're looking to avoid Gilmore.

The Patriots are putting points on the board now. It will take 27 - 30 points by Carolina to beat that Patriots, and I don't see that happening without Sam Darnold. The average time for a player in the concussion protocol this season is 10 days for guys who left the game for good following the hit. Backup QB PJ Walker is the equivalent of a rookie staring into a Bill Belichick defense and wondering why he got into football in the first place.

The data in your post suggests a great defense - #2 in the NFL in many categories. Their run defense is an exception, but otherwise tough to get first downs and score on. That may be misleading given their competition. They did shut down the Saints, but the Vikings and Cowboys both hung 30+ on them.

This one will be interesting to break down this week.

Pats have not won a regular season game against the Panthers since 2009 and only a total of two since 2001. The Panthers have had the Pats number for some weird reason.

Quote

Mac needs to study film on how Gilmore plays. If he does not he'll fall into an INT trap baited by Gilmore. Or simply do not throw to Gilmore's guy.

Quote

Not happy that we'll face a college offense this week. Walker and RPO with CMac could cause us some headaches, and while I feel confident we can win this game, it's not good for our D - who needs work in pass coverage and pass rush with Mayfield, Tannehill, Ryan, Allen coming up.

Quote

a.) I still think the Panther D is legit.

b.) I don't think CMC is playing...I own him in my main FFL...and I know how fragile that hammy is....been on all medical info like white on rice.

c.) Gilmore said that this game "meant a lot" to him....GOOD. I want Meyers to have his first NFL TD reception ON Gilmore!!! LFG!!!

Belichick is even better when facing rookie or backup qbs or whatever u want to call PJ aka Rhule’s little temple buddy. He will figure out a way to neutralize our pass rush by getting Mac to throw quick passes.

Did PJ Walker fug your girl or something?  You straight up seem to hate this dude....

The Sam Darnold bar vs Bill Belichick.

53% completion percentage, 173 pass yard average, 2.6 turnovers per game, 0.33 TDs per game

I guess we will see how PJ stacks up vs that.  I think he is up to the task of being in the ballpark of Sam Darnold vs Bill.

PJ may approach 30% completion rate in this game.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
