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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
