Winnable game next week? Bruh, Mariota just torched this fuggin defense, imagine what Burrow is going to do.

Right?  Like what game were people watching lol how did so many people watch that game and come away feeling optimistic?  We gave up 37 points to the Falcons.

When we weren’t getting screwed by Pineiro, we were getting screwed by the refs.

We have progressively gotten better the past three weeks, the team on the field today would have beat the team we had last week. This game would have never been close with Rhule. 

Winnable game next week and a rematch with the Falcons right after. Still 9 games left. I actually came away from this game with confidence, I haven’t seen this much fight out of the team in years.

Well said. I don't want to tank anything this season. I want to win a Smith as we can to get these players confidence up for the future as well as see who else on the team can develop further to become a major contributor for next season. Win as many as we can and enjoy the teams new attitude that is developing each week.

Rhule football made fans forget what mediocre football looked like. Well, we are back to mediocre football and now people mistake that for good football lol We just got sh*t on by a QB who barely had 100+ passing yards per game before this week.

Another football season wasted and over early - 5 years in a row now.  Seattle is winning with Geno Smith, no running game, and a suspect defensive line.  Atlanta is winning with a talent poor roster on both sides of the ball.  The Jets are winning with the worst QB in the nfl and no one on offense I’ve ever heard of.  It’s friggin depressing man.  

It’s even more depressing to think we will be picking 7/8 (for the fourth year in a row) and the three best/top qbs will be gone - bank it.

I’m trying to figure out which one of these college QBs is a franchise QB, because I don’t see it in any of them.

It sucks to lose the way we did but I didn't get upset. I am taking plenty of solace in the fact that we fought back so well and showed we have the ability to do that(had not seen that much under Rhule).

We were largely unlucky more than anything and didn't execute as well as we should have offensively, defensively or on special teams in the last few minutes and OT. 

It is what it is. Almost none of you thought we would even be competitive after Rhule got canned, so there shouldn't be all this bellyaching. If we lose a bunch of games, we get a high draft pick and a ticket into the franchise QB lottery. If we rally the rest of the season, maybe we have our coach and a future. I don't see this as a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. 

It's fine. I am just glad to have watchable football during what is supposed to be a complete tank job.

I am not implying that we'll beat Cincinnati but Burrow is mobile but not as mobile as Mariota.  Mariota snuck out of several sacks last night.

I would not be surprised if we beat Cincinnati.  They may be overlooking us.

Football is entertainment to me now. Too old to allow wins and loses, of which I have no control, alter my mood. 

It was an entertaining game, so I'm good with it. Getting boat raced by scrubs isn't entertaining but had become the norm. Just happy I can watch Panther football again with hope of being entertained.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
