My fear is Bryce plays just well enough to keep QB out of the equation in the first round.

Yeah this is my worst case scenario. And unfortunately I cannot put it past the Tepper's and Morgan who have a massive vested interest in justifying the trade and selection.

I’m confused, our first drive was a touchdown.

Missed a great game. Watching surly pissed off Falcon fans parade out of the stadium after talking so much crap coming in was delightful. What a wonderful beat down. Who knows how things go down the road but yesterday was one for the ages.

You should join their forum.

3 games in a row of crap level football and that's with the usual begining of the season curb. Multibillion dollar industry and it's all toddler slap fighting. If that floats your boat then have at it.

Nothing about this team looks like it will not be picking top 10 again. The biggest competition there is the continued devolution of the NFL into the low quality of the school leuge.

I miss good football and not celebrating a loser winning a few ugly games.

We'll see. I mean, I don't see us winning many games where we barely throw for under 130 yards and 0 TDs. So I'm not worried about that. If we end up with a better than expected record then Bryce will have to put up significantly better numbers.

I'm wondering if ATL didn't think:  "We need to see what we have in Penix.  Carolina is so bad that they are the perfect team to try this against."  Otherwise, it was pure stupidity to not just run Bijan.

What's good for us and bad for them is (1) Penix is as bad as we hoped, (2) We were not as bad as we appeared in the first two games, and (3) when they switched over to Cousins, they only got evidence that he is still not their savior and, at the same time, that they will not get that "premium" price for him in a trade.

When we stopped Bijan and made them pess, they were exposed.

Stopped? Of the four player recording rushes, none averaged less than 4 YPC. The team average was 5.7 YPC.

We didn't come close to ever slowing their running game down. That was why it was so insane to see them keep passing over and over.

I really think they came into that game cocky thinking the W was guaranteed and they could use it as an opportunity to work on some different stuff. You just can't take any game for granted in the NFL. At the end of that day, that team might suck relative to the other NFL teams but it's still comprised of some of the best football players on the planet. There's a MUCH smaller talent gap between the #1 and the #32 NFL team than there is the #1 and #32 college team. Hell, there's probably a smaller gap between #1 and #32 in the NFL than there is #1 and #10 in college.

You clearly didn't watch the game. It wasn't ugly it was glorious. A pick six and almost another by Jackson and keeping Atlanta's rushing game in check after being so porous.

You think this is an aberration which it probably is. But I hope it is a harbinger of things to come especially on defense. The Panthers formula outside of a few years with Cam is to have a great defense and an opportunistic offense who makes the most of short fields and minimizes turnovers. I would like to get back to that.

Let's just hope he keeps looking good. DJ is still out #3 all-time WR by a comfortably margin despite only playing 5 seasons for us. Our history at WR is just awful.

Yeah and he is looking like wr 2.5 for this year with the bears. Odunze is getting more targets and burden might overtake him soon

It's not saddly. We had these last year too. It was 2 bad teams but if it makes you feel better then fan how you want as always. I just can't sit through them anymore personally, just too boring. Atlanta showed up with nothing yesterday and ran their game like a practice again.

“Can’t sit through the game” but an active member/complainer on the huddle.

Makes sense.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
