It looks like we got this year's top 10 pick right. At least there's that. 

Some frustrating drops by Tmac but he’s clearly the most talented WR we’ve drafted since DJ.

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.

He might not be better after the catch but I believe he is going to leave DJ in the dust as an overall wr1

It was crazy the little amount they were running

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.
