Goff is eating the saints defense right now. Wouldn’t say the falcons are all that on defense after watching this. 

Neither team impressed me when we played them either - we just couldn't get out of our own way.

People are searching for reasons - supporting cast, play calling etc when it's clear the problem lies at QB. Dude isn't it - it's a show me league and he's already shown he's going to massively struggle at this level.

TCU were a fairytale story - they were always the imposter in the Playoffs. 

This. Michigan just didn't show up. They beat TCU with ease 9 out of 10 times. I expected TCU to get best bad in the championship game but I didn't expect them to take possibly the worst skull draggings ever in a high level championship game. That looked like UGA was playing a bad D1AA team.

Eh, playcalling is some of it. Maybe because the playbook was suited to Bryce I don’t know. We’ll find out later today though.

Minshew is good enough to legit start for somebody. You can't tell me there's 32 better QBs.

The smart thing to do last offseason, once we ruled ourselves out of the Carr sweepstakes, was to sign Minshew, sit tight at #9 and let the Draft come to us. 

Instead we are where we are.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
