I'm actually starting Chicago D in fantasy. That's how little faith I have in this offensive line. 

I'm doing that in one of my leagues too.  I'm up big in one and taking the slight gamble for the potential big payoff.

Look at us, having no faith in our teams and putting money and pride on the line for it.

Doesn't matter. With this talent-poor roster created by Tepper's Data-centric analytics model, we are doomed until he sells or lets football people make football decisions.

Tepper's biggest fault is his entire career in finance is working against him as a football team owner. The smartest people with the best data aren't always the best football players. Sometimes you win football games just by being bigger and faster than the other team.

I really hope we win convincingly if a dub occurs. 

If we win by simply not being as terrible as Chicago in a 17-13ish affair, then we'll feel a bit stuck, no different than a loss.  

I mean, if we get cooked by an undrafted rookie QB we deserve everything bad they're going to say about us.  There is absolutely no way we SHOULD lose this game.  #1 overall pick rookie QB going against undrafted rookie QB.  That being said, I completely expect us to get packed up in convincing fashion.  Its the Panther way, after all.

I don’t think it matters. OL can’t block and receivers haven’t been able to separate against anybody.

There it is.  Strange to pin it all on Bryce.  Our O-line will get beat by every D-line in the league.  Our WRs can't beat any corners in the league.

Bears defense has allowed the most passing TDs, 2nd most passing yards, 2nd most passing 1st downs, the 3rd highest completion percentage, and the fewest sacks in the NFL. 

If Bryce stinks it up tonight....yikes. 

I hate this fuging narrative that the offense is all on Bryce. Should be if the offense stinks it up. If the line can’t protect and WRs can’t get open then no Bryce won’t have a good game statistically. What he can do is not compound the mistakes of those around him with poor decisions.

Speaking of I have to either play Chuba or D'onta...

Hmmm...

Bears have the #4 ranked rush D.  They are #1 in yards per rush attempt allowed. 

Panthers have the #28 ranked rush D.  They are #24 in yard per rush attempt allowed. 

Seems like a no brainer call BUT it's more complicated than it seems.  Herbert has had a full week of practice.   He is the #1 RB.   Seems projected to play. They have to activate him today off IR.    So that complicates it. 

I've been eyeing because in one league I'm weak at #2RB spot.  Toss up between Herbert off IR vs Gus Edwards (who has been surpassingly great fantasy play the last 3 weeks.  Which makes me want to Herbert as Gus as just been too good given his unique role).

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
