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.

Just now, Davidson Deac II said:

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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
