Browns just gave the Giants the game plan to destroy our defense, on the opposite side they shut Henry down so CMC and Foreman probably aren't gonna go off. Gonna be their pass rush vs our WR's, and they didn't even have their starting DE's active on Sunday

But who are their DEs? I know they have Kayvon but I don’t think they have anyone up to Garrett or Clowney talet.

New guy Kayvon who was a top 5 pick, and Ojulari who is more of a Reddick type that had 8 sacks in his rookie year last year. Not exactly Garrett and Clowney but not scrubs

Of course we can beat the Giants.  In theory, we could beat the Bills.  The NFL works that way.  Add that while they are in the same state (barely), the Giants are not the Bills.

The challenge is that based solely on last week, the Giants put up a lot of yards on the ground and we gave up a lot of yards on the ground.  They gained 238 yards at 7..4 a carry, and even if we remove the 68 yard run, that is still 170 yards and almost a 5.5 yard clip.  We gave up 5.6 yards a pop over 39 carries.  Depending on your outlook, those things either don't mesh well or mesh perfectly.

The other problem is while the Giants didn't remind anybody of Air Coryell, they were efficient in the passing game.  If we don't generate some pressure on the QB, they may be efficient again.

They are far from unbeatable, but we are going to have to step up especially on the defensive side.  It's either that or turn it into a track meet early.  We certainly can not afford another start where the offense is inert.  Given the defensive challenges, the offense is going to have to hold their own.

Finally, when they had the chance with a tad over a minute left, they went for the win, big time (going for 2 after a TD brought them within 1).  If it comes down to a test of nerve late, we are probably screwed.

      Carolina Panthers a Wild Card Team?

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      It's just a talking head.  Talking about gambling. If anybody takes the under on 4.5 wins, they're most likely losing their money.   So he's only saying if you want to bet on a possible sleeper, take the over.  It's not rocket science.  Pathetic that so many on the huddle have reduced themselves to posting purely trash every time they hit the submit button.

      I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario.  Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless.  ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team. TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team.  The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By 45catfan · Posted

      We screwed up a couple years ago taking Bryce in the first place.  Nobody held a gun to our head to jump from #9 to #1.  Most people who keep up with draft news knew this 2024 QB class was loaded and we should have waited, which I advocated. It was a dumb move and I knew it.  Now we have to roll with Bryce another year.  That's fine, because this 2025 class isn't that great.  I like Ewers, but not super high on him.  If Bryce shows improvement, which I think he will, that should get him at least one more season before we have to decide on if he's the permanent answer or not.  I've said before, the 2026 draft is the next window for a franchise QB if Bryce isn't the answer. Bryce gets this year and next at a minimum.
