The schedule thing I keep seeing but Buffalo sucks at run Defense (they are worse at it then Dallas) right behind Miami for the worst run Defense in the league. 

GB struggled against Dallas and Arizona. 

 

I don't get it. Neither of those games is as difficult as it seemed at the start of the season.

Because we looked like dog poo against probably the worst team in the league and kept giving them chances to tie. 

defense played great today, special teams had was solid and had a few nice returns by Etienne

Canales situational play calling/stupid RB rotation is what held this team back today. at some point, a good defense is going to use the predictable RB rotation to their advantage when game planning

I think both are in play but I would not characterize the Panthers as a “strong team”. I do think they are getting better. And while I don’t think Bryce is a long term answer, at the moment he seems to be making fewer costly mistakes as the season goes on. I think some of that (a lot?) is due to the defense and the run game.

Yes, but I think any reasonable fan would say Buffalo and Green Bay are a big step up from the Jets and Dolphins. Any given Sunday, there's a reason they play the games, etc etc, but we are about to face stiffer competition, no 2 ways about it.

How many points did the Bucs beat the Jets by?  How many points did the Broncos beat the Jets by?  How many points did the Steelers beat the Jets by?

Its the NFL.  There is a reason why 90% of point spreads don't go past 7 points. 

This. A lot of things were going against us this game. We were only a -1 point favorite if you follow sports handicapping. 
 

1-Classic trap game after a huge win over the Cowboys. 2- winless team hungry..playing for their jobs and pride. 3- Our horrible road record. 4- Playing against an ex coach who I’m sure felt disrespected by how things ended and wanted to stick it to us. 5- A team with 3 nail biting losses and a tough defense. It’s one of those smelly games to where you plug your nose, get in and get out.  Glad we won. This isn’t a game fans should over-analyze. BY is what he is. This game didn’t tell us anything new about him. But XL having a career game is a huge positive though. He needed a game like today for his confidence.

Ugly wins are wins. 2003's Super Bowl run was built on ugly wins. I'd rather win ugly than lose.

We're 4-3 with three wins in a row, and we'd have been 5-2 if we won the very winnable Arizona game. We're 1-0 in the division. Our defense is suffocating. The run game is good. We're doing well enough in the passing game to win. Our rookies are contributing.

This is our best string of football since 2018 and I'm sorry but I'm ready to just enjoy winning.

is it really fascinating that people that follow the team more closely than the average person aren't as excited about what they're seeing?

is this not something you can piece together

To be fair I don’t think anything would please you or a few others here. Not sure if it’s an online persona or how you really are.

As much as I have talked about how easy the schedule has been to start the season, I’d be a hypocrite to say it isn’t that. That being said, in the end a win is a win in the NFL so il take it.


The team has improved in some areas, the next two weeks will tell me if it’s bc the schedule or they are becoming a strong team. It’s hard to tell if the defense is improving off of this game because that Jets offense is atrocious but again, it’s the nfl, kudos to them for holding another professional team to six points.

It’s crazy, I can’t get over how this schedule has been perfect for this team.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
