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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
