The Panthers conceding defeat with nearly four minutes on the clock.

They mailed in the season when Tepper kept Fritterer. Everything after that has been set up for failure and boy did they go hard. At least there really won't be any pushback when people start getting fired because this year is set up to be very ugly...again.

I don’t think Bryce sees the field at all.  I wanna see film to determine if everyone was truly covered every single play, or if we had guys open and Bryce just can’t see them.  That was an abysmal performance.  

He doesn't see the middle of the field - if you watched his tape in College it was clear that he anticipated the coverage (based off film study, mainly) and threw blind.

NFL players have already sussed that out - he didn't know Bates was going to be there either time.

I got a feeling I still think we should have taken Fields over Horn. Never floundered on that opinion

What do we make of this 

I can see your side.  However, I didn't see it as giving up.  Falcons closed the down field plays.  I do think Bryce tried.  I'm not worried about losing 1 game.

[Guild]

Yeah really the game was mismanaged quite a bit.  The 4th that we didn't convert was a heralding play for how the game would go.  The call wasn't even bad but the decision on what to do was.

Jesus, one game into a rookie's career on the road with a brand new coaching staff, personnel and injured deep threat. 

Not to make excuses because they did themselves in with three turnovers and too many penalties, but some of you guys need to step off the ledge. 

[Growl]

why not throw as many passes as possible if not for no other reason than to give your rookie QB reps 

even if you’ve thrown in the towel then prepare for going forward

It took the falcons big offseason signing to win the game against a rookie qb…think about that.

I’m going on the record right now, this is dumbass on steroids disguised as a hot take.

Fields is 100% USDA ass milk.

Or Parsons or Slater or Surtain

[scratched]

Bryce not seeing the safety once, I’m ok with. But too do it twice in the same game, that’s a problem. I think it’s a huge chance we drafted the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft when it’s all said and done.

If. You do not get how the offensive play calling and execution killed this game in the first half I do not  know  what to tell you 

 Not throwing on first down didn’t help anyone offense 

if they were going to be 3 yards and a cloud of dust, they should have kept Wilks 

rolling over on the last possession… Jesus
