You cannot win in the NFL perpetually afraid that your QB is going to throw a pick.  Pinerio missed more kicks in  that game than PJ threw picks.

Sheesh.

It was in OT on the 15 yard line and they had already had their possession.  There is an insanely high percent chance that a NFL kicker makes that kick.  It's the right call and it would have ended the game.  We just fell short against the odds.  I've seen PLENTY of great QBs in that same situation where they are setting up the FG (Burrow comes to mind this year).  I get being upset we loss but setting up the OT game winning FG on the 15 yard line is NOT a bad strategy.

He is a 88% FG kicker.  That is actually the first FG he missed from that range in his career.

Scored 34 points (tie, only once before)

Come from behind to take a team to OT on the road (never)

Got in a second half shootout.  (Rare if ever)

Team didn't fold after conceding a late score (Rare, if ever)

*Same team, but I can see a difference.

 

Meh, except for the OT, we've seen this show before.

The near hail-mary to DJ was exciting. 

The rest was Panthers.

We out-choked the Falcons today.

That's new.

Over the last 5-6 years, Gano has been one of the most clutch kickers in the NFL.   He hasn't missed an extra point since 2020.  In the last three years, he has hit 19 of 24 fg's of 50 yards plus.  Next to Tucker, he might be the best fg kicker in the league.  

But he wasn’t doing that for us. He needed to get cut to get better. He wasn’t a reliable clutch kicker. Kasay is the standard, Gano does not compare.

So you would rather lose and score more points?  WTF?

When the offense has been THIS anemic for such a long time?  It's a step in the right direction.  Look Matt, take your millions stop sucking off the Panthers hind tit.  I guess winning 5 games a year is a feat by holding teams under 17 points is worth beating your chest over, but finally showing a pulse on offense and the defense having an uncharacteristic off game is something I'm okay with.

Brian Burns: more like the Invisible Woman than Spider Man.

Lots of talk about PJ, the Defense, DJ, DJ's helmet, and Pinero. I'm focused on Brian Burns with 0 sacks and 0 TFLs in the most important game of the season so far. I think hes more like Frankie Luvu (good player who makes some great plays) than a star DE.

Just a few thoughts. I have many times seen a heartbreaking losses for my team. It’s very hard to watch a team fight claw and scratch for a win, only to have the other team come back and boom they win the game.

However, this team damn near won this game. They were in this game until the very very end. If the coaches name was still Rhulezie, I doubt very seriously they would’ve been anywhere near being able to win.

The Falcons are obviously, a much improved team. But I think the Panthers are much improved as well.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
