So next week’s game against the Bucs is definitely rigged, right?

It won't be "rigged" but honestly, if I were a D-lineman going in for a sack, I'd make sure I earned that 15-yard penalty you know they'll throw if TB12 goes horizontal.

I don't want to see anyone getting injured but some of those calls he's gotten this year... or this career...

Let's just run it down their throats again and only give them the ball for 12 minutes. That'll fix it.

The best thing we can do is generate pressure up the middle because  he no longer has the ability  to move sideways, reset and deliver a bomb downfield. The cardinals started playing no further than 10 yards off the line of scrimmage and it worked.  All in all... need to see the crew calling our game and their history with Tom.

Yeah, my feeling is that flags for hitting the quarterback are an inevitability in the modern NFL, so you best make it count.  Brady hates pressure up the gut, so if Derrick Brown is going to show out this is the game to do it.

Even if we beat them I don’t think they’re eliminated. We need to string together back to back wins to get in and I struggle seeing that happening with how bipolar we are. 
 

With how dominant we were last week, history says we will poo the bed this week. 

I think we’ll mess it up like 2004, but I can’t remember if that last game against the saints was a “win and in” situation.

Yep. All those 20-30 yard runs we were having will magically get called back by some mysterious holding call that won't be replayed by the broadcast. Then, every 3rd down the Bucs don't get, a magical defensive holding call will grant them a new set of downs. This will happen multiple times this game. Then when we finally sack Brady, a roughing the passer will be called. We've all seen this story before with the Panthers.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
