Bears also have clear cut matchup edge that works in their favor.  Good rush O vs our bad rush D. 

And you beat the Bears in the air not the ground.  And our pass game is a dumpster fire. 

TNF is weird though.  I don’t expect a really close game.  One team will just be really bad and one team has an easy night.  And you can’t really predict it. 

I just have to hype myself up going into each week, man. Thats all I am doing lol

Hey, if there is a time for your team not to look how they normally do…it’s TNF.  No doubt.  

like I said, some teams just gift those games.  Maybe we get that luck.

There is something very wrong if the Vikings can bring in a QB that hasn't taken a snap, hasn't thrown to any of the receivers even in practice and doesn't even know their names and they can move the ball comfortably, score, and win, yet we have such a hard time.

Let Bryce play schoolyard ball. Let him play uptempo and stop worrying so much about the right call and everything. Let him go out and play football, just once. It cannot possibly be as worse as what we are doing out there already

Luke Kuechly was talking about this in the pregame on the radio broadcast.  He plays a different side of the ball of course but he explained it like, he played his best when he could play fast.  Meaning instinctively and reflexively rather than having to think a lot about what he was doing. 

Of course he'd binge film and put in the prep work and all that, but in the game he'd get the call, get everybody lined up, and when the ball was snapped he'd take his gap assignment, cover his man, drop into whatever coverage, and that's it.  And he's a first ballot Hall of Famer because of it.

This is exactly it. Bryce is overthinking, every damn play. It doesn't help that they are huddling and taking most of the play clock every play either. When Bryce was great at Alabama, he was playing fast, moving outside of the pocket, improvising, a lot like Mahomes. He hasn't moved outside of the pocket much at all here. I don't know if that is the offensive line, playcalling, or both, but run Bryce on some bootlegs for heavens sake. They are forcing him to be Drew Brees or Phillip Rivers right off the bat.

Bryce has been out of the pocket plenty. There’s no designed rollouts but he escapes constantly. 
 

when he does, he gets ragdall’d from behind by a defensive tackle because he still thinks he’s playing a september game against south alabama state.

Probably so…but the other side gets paid too.  And given the Panthers literally don’t threaten the field vertically….NFL defenses are playing our small ball.  And we are content asking them to try to stop it.   And we play small ball with non-small weapons.   End of the day, we are just going to lose that battle overall.  Doesn’t really matter the QB.  It’s definitely not going to end well for a rookie.  Any rookie.

I still find is sadly hilarious how the commentators always say Young was ragdolled. Seems to happen at least once a game. 
I think ragdolling was mentioned the last two games in regards to Young being sacked or pressured.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?

      sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.

      What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
