We MUST win this week.

Beating Miami would set us up for a .500 record going into the bye week. This gives Cam Newton another two additional weeks to get into the play book. Then we host Atlanta which should also be a win.

 

I truly believe we can make a playoff push but it all hinges on beating Atlanta and getting some momentum going into December. Buffalo is probably a loss, but New Orleans and Tampa Bay both look beatable.

The bills got destroyed by the colts 41-15 btw. I’m all in favor of not ruling the playoffs out yet. This is a weird season. Defense is obviously struggling against power run teams and the only team left that fits that is the Bucs...kind of. I just hope this team shows fight and are entertaining on sundays the rest of the way.

I get it. Nothing is a given. But another week of Cam getting comfortable and a defense that hopefully has their ass chewed out this week SHOULD equal a dub against Miami.

Nothing is for sure but I’d rather have fun and hope for the playoffs, be cautiously optimistic and root for this young team to grow and show some guts down the stretch then the alternative. 
 

defense is suspect but we also know they can perform at a high level depending on matchups.

I agree beating Miami sets us up well going into the Bye.  I'm trying to stay positive I really am but I think getting Cam will ultimately end up being too little too late on this season.  Gave the Eagles game away, losing to the Giants and then Skins at home yesterday. (ufff) And even though Bucs are not playing great football right now I just don't see us beating them this year.  Games might be closer than last year.  So that means you have to beat Fins, Falcons, Bills, and Saints.  I just can't trust this team to do that.

I keep telling everyone, this is not our year.  It was never meant to be.  Rhule turnarounds typically start to pay off in year three.  Not year two.  Year two is when you start to see the change begin to take hold.

 

I haven’t seen much to indicate a change. We are one game better than this time last year.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
