Bryce hasn’t really done anything….which is largely the signature to a Panther win.  Don’t be  a trainwreck and hope our RBs or D have an abnormal day to get a win.   It’s backup level QB play. 

and that’s been basically every win we have found in his career.  Minus the one anomaly game. 

but yeah, he hasn’t kept us from winning a game Penix gift wrapped.  Thats 100% correct.   But Bryce hasn’t looked like a starting NFL QB a single game this season.  And it’s year 3. 

From the way you and everyone else has acted, we should be down 27-3 because Bryce isn't capable of even taking an NFL snap.

Meanwhile, the team is up 30-0 with one of those scores coming off of a Bryce scramble (and the Falcons having 3 more drives than the team).

Some of y'all will do anything and everything to not give the kid credit where credit is due the same way the F150s would never give Cam his flowers. I suppose that's just the nature of fans, but damn if it ain't weird energy to constantly look for something to bitch about.

Wait... are you and others really huffing and puffing that Bryce is "too smol" while the team is up 27-0?

What has he done that has kept this team from being 40+? Point out the plays and I'll be more than happy to look at them when the all-22 drops.

Icege, I respect you, brother.  But if you feel like Bryce isn’t a limiting factor when we have had 30+ mins of possession and he has <150 pass yards, all of our passing offense still greatly relies on dumping it down and hoping guys break tackles, the offensive stats overall have not been impressive and the points we scored have relied greatly on Falcon turnovers leading to incredible field position or outright points, then I don’t know what to say.  
 

a win is a win.  It’s satisfying to win.  Bryce is hard to watch and almost impossible to enjoy.  If we had a QB who was capable of accurate deep passes, they would have blown the lid off this game early.  It’s been there.  But the offense is reduced down to clock control, dink and dunk bullshit, and a philosophy that would make Vince Lombardi cream his pants.

Hopefully they don't blow the shutout

bro its game flow.

we dominated on d. u play to not turn it over and u win. its 30-0.

my god this forum

It’s his career bro.  The only point is today alters nothing.  O did nothing today outside of the scripted opening drive. 

you get gifted a game like this MAYBE once or twice a season.  So all the warts are still going to be relevant as we go forward

Didn't say it was, said it's how you win with him. 

 You can win with that if you have a strong defense. 
You can’t play that way when you spot the other team a TD or two. 
 

Think they would let us play the Falcons every week?

I think some of these whiners didn’t watch the game. Offense actually looked pretty decent. Helped set the tone in the first half with a first possession TD. Didn’t get a ton of possessions before the lead was built. Muffed punt gave the falcons an extra possession. Pick 6 ball goes back to falcons. The main drive killers I remember were from holding penalties on the OL, not on the QB. They scored 10 in the first half on just 4 possessions and the final possession was killed by a hold penalty and coaches decided to run clock.

With today's performance, you would think it was the defensive side of the ball that we poured all of our resources and draft picks in. Offense looking pretty decent isn't going to cut it. Love the win, but counting on our defense and special teams playing like this every game is wishful thinking. LOVE the win and just going to celebrate for what it is, but Bryce and Co is going to have to step up and make the plays when they are there......we have left a LOT of yards on the field with bad throws and drops. 

[CPantherKing]

Winning like this with a QB who throws 120 yards & no TDs? Is this a sustainable winning formula?

Could this be the turnaround game to a winning team?  

[OneBadCat]

Come on don’t let them score

If he's the limiting factor, just name the plays today where that was the case and we can review them when the all-22 drops.

Why in the world would you want to be throwing the ball around when up by two scores and the defense is snuffing out the offense? Bryce threw for over 300+ yards last week and it didn't lead to a dub, plus haters were saying it was against prevent (it wasn't, tape don't lie). It can't be both ways. That's just not rational.
