Week 18 Game Thread: Cats vs Birds


Recommended Posts

After watching Bryce improve as much as he did this year, it makes Reich look that much worse. That idiot insisted on running his O and couldn't care less what his players were capable of. 

His coaching career should be over, who would hire that idiot now?

I think this just solidifies even more how much we NEED to focus on D this offseason... (not that most anyone disagrees)

BY just finding the open guy at all times. And Coker with the high effort plays, great catches in traffic, etc...

I was honestly happy to see Canales not get cute. He just kept with what was working and Atlanta didn't stop it. So many coaches outthink themselves and lose games; Canales did not do that today.

Man, what a crazy game!  The Panthers offense had to be nearly perfect.  Atlanta didn't punt.  Way to play!

The draft with be the draft.  Whatever.  

I'm so happy to end the season with a win.  Yeah, we still have a lot of weak areas, but this is one heck of a way to send the Falcons home.  I'll take it!

I assume there goes Carter and Graham now or do we still have a shot at one of them 

the draft is both predictable and unpredictable. a lot can change from now until april. undisclosed injuries discovered, measurables not living up, deeper tape study on these prospects. Every year some guys move up the ladder and go down. so anything is possible!

No one can deny Young finished the year with a bang. 5 iwins with this defense says something being right where most thought was a reasonable first year for Canales.

Probably his best game of his career, too. Play calling was on point.

Just think, Harbaugh called US and we said “nah we want Frank”

No way. Only way to find quality players is to have the best draft picks EVER!!!!!

This! You can build a SB offense with day 3 & undrafted players. Just use patience to select the rare freak or pedigree offensive player like Randy Moss or CMC in the 1st round. Ride a vet 28 to 32 yr old QB. When the defense is loaded with young talent, go after a luxury 1st rd QB pick like Mahomes or Roethlisberger if the vet QB can't get it done in the playoffs. This has been the championship formula for decades that the Bill Walsh tree keeps rolling out.

I can’t say enough about what coker has become for us. Amazing.

 

its not easy to carve a starting role as a udfa. Especially in your rookie year. Im sure that says more about our roster not having talent but the young man has shown up.

    • That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football? 
    • What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.
    • Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
