Mike and Mike picked Tampa over us Sunday. Greeny said he hopes everything is okay with MM health-wise, but said he was 'atrocious' against the Giants.

I know the majority of us have expressed out disinterest and dislike for almost all of ESPN's talking heads and national media in general, but I was slightly surprised for both of them to pick Tampa to win.

Undah da Raydhaar!

But seriously, I like when people pick us to lose because it seems like we always win when they do.

This will be a good game to watch or go to. Too bad I refuse to go to a game this year. 0-2 would be devastating and tickets will be free. The theory isn't that 2 games means the season, it's that with the unpredictability and all that has happened with the panthers there already was to begin with In other words a team not getting better in any area. So far CJ is only DL looking nice, added to a shitty secondary.

14% chance of making the playoffs after 0-2 historically. But worse would be losing to the Bucs who are in the bottom of the league.

We are now favored by 3.5 which was 1.5 before MM was confirmed as starter.

Exactly.

NO 2-0

TB 2-0

ATL 1-1

CAR 0-2

This could very realistically happen...in two days lol...

Usually that scenario would have me contemplating a game of Russian Roulette, but for some reason this year, I feel like I expect a win but if it doesn't happen I understand why lol.

Kind of like coaching the special olympics, if they make it to the finish line it's a bonus, if not, good effort.

So after factoring in the 3 point home field advantage the Panthers are basically a push against Tampa on Sunday. Yay.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
