 But we didn’t blow out a division rival the way I wanted to 

 

 

We had 224 yards of offense, are you really THAT thrilled with our performance today that you're willing to overlook that we blew them out because they missed 2 early FGs and then Penix was god awful the rest of the way?

It's always great to blow out the Falcons, but I'm not going to not ask questions about the game planning and play calling just because of that.

In fact, I think there's a very real argument to make that in a game like this, we shouldn't be playing it safe, we should be going the other way and open up the playbook because we have the cushion to do so.  This game did absolutely nothing to evaluate Bryce's future as we didn't let him do anything other than short check down type of passes again.

I like wins, but in reality, I don't care about wins or losses this year, I care about the development/evaluation of Bryce, and to me, we just threw away 1 of the 17 games we have to evaluate him, and that is coming off of 2 terrible performances as is.

With a more physically capable QB I believe TMac would be making a strong case for rookie of the year.

I'm pretty sure he's already making a strong case. He was 9th in the NFL in receiving yards coming into this week and has the most scrimmage yards of all rookies. Who is his competition right now?

Egbuka is going to win it

Already has 3 TDs, Godwin isn't yet back, and Evans just got hurt today and was immediately ruled out from returning.

In that offense and the role he's going to take on, I can't see how he isn't going to put up some real big numbers this year, while T-Mac gets Bryce and a coach who won't throw his way in the red zone.

In the longer term it will benefit us to get TMac red zone touches early so he and Bryce can ideally build some chemistry.  But we were effective in the red zone this week, thankfully.

It also benefits us if we prove that we can score td's in several different ways.  Makes us far harder to defend.

I think TMac was the focus of the Falcon's pass defense, and they have a very good secondary.  They took TMac away but we still got it in the endzone with a scramble by young and we rammed it down their throat for another.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      They don’t watch film. They don’t know what they are looking at if they do. Half of this MF pedestrian 561 yards came off wheel routes out of the backfield.

      We have a great, Id say even perfect example of drafting OT on a team with Walker....plus Ill just toss in the solid respected vet Motown too.   Green Bay used a 1st rounder to draft Jordan Morgan with the plan he's the LT. Short this story- Walker beat him badly, so bad they switched positions to OG cause using that 1st is too pricey to sit. That was in 2024, come 2025 in steps a new fresh hope for LT 2nd rounder Anthony Belton..... Another 1st TKO by Walker and the same "ooo my god try him at OG to save face"... Walker clear winner both times.  I think even if the Panthers had first pick of OT, that guy is not unseating Walker or Motown.  Now to talk out of both sides, Id still say using the 1st on OT is a wise move.......but if you believe panthers are in win-now mode and worry about 2027 in 2027 and factor in Walker beating any and all young pups..... the thing is, if this goes well enough...... Walker will want to re-sign here and he's still young for a LT...plus my god LT are the hardest spot to fill. Then Ickey makes a full recovery(just go along for now)...now you have 32 Motown, Icky back on a cheaper RT deal, and a happy LT Walker.  Just making a case and filling in some history, now I still want to draft OT, just maybe not as hot to use the 1st with landing Walker..... I mean isnt using the 4th or one of the 5th better and smarter to develop a OT rather than 1st where you need to score TDs or stop them? But Im with you tho....AND I understand what I feel the panthers will do.

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.
