Worst case scenario for us and also the most plausible

I predict the next reasonably "good" game bryce has you will see Fowler or Kaye write an article floating the idea that dan/brandt are kicking the idea around about extending.  I think you can take that to the bank all things considered

Also gotta think Bryce and his “camp” are nervous about what happens if Dalton balls out like Bryce hasn’t done all season.

 

They only need to worry if Dalton is limited to 1 game.  He has shown he can come in and light it up for 1 game.  Last year he paved the way for Bryce to return after that 1 game.

I don’t think there is nearly the level of conspiracy about this as people are assuming. DC and his staff probably do think Bryce is their best chancs to win because, well....they have been winning and the results have worked out. Why tinker with it?

I don't agree but I can see pretty valid reasons why most coaches wouldn't make a change unless they had to.

As fans, our "had to" threshold is quite a bit lower.

They ought to be.

If Dalton is playing without a cane he will probably smoke Bryce. 
He did in both week three games (when he was fresh).

It's a coin flip. If Bryce sits out the toughest part of the schedule and the corpse of Andy Dalton plays like a decrepit old man, (very possible) the narrative is, "The team was winning  with Bryce!" Sitting out the rest of the season with a winning record intact is a very savvy "skip the combine" type move.

On the other hand, if Dalton visits Barry Bonds' pharmacy then shows up on Sunday all hooped up on Jolt Cola and Fun Dip and the offense looks noticeably better, it might be the writing on the wall in regard to Bryce's extension.

Interesting times.

There haven’t been any big games. 
Is this like big time throws? 

 I would argue strongly that there are no big time throws without big games.  
The definition of whatever they are quantifying is fuged. 

Even if it is his biggest game (why?) there isn’t anything big time about it. 

Elimination games in season. 
Clinching games in season. 
Post season playoff games.  
That is it as far as what big games are.  

I suppose a division showdown  game could be considered big but that will likely fall into the elimination or clinching regular season bin. 
IMHO. 

I don't think it's quite so black and white. There are other examples, and sometimes it's just a you know it when you see it kind of thing. 2013 we had a MNF game against New England in November, they were coming off a bye at 7-2 and we were 6-3 coming off a close win against the defending NFC champ 49ers. That was about as big of a game as it gets and to me was one of the most defining and important wins and games of Cam's career and that entire core from 2012ish through 2017 (our best stretch in team history). Doesn't fit any of your categories and even in a vacuum losing there wouldn't have mattered all that much being an out of conference game in November, but that game mattered a ton for the team and our confidence and swagger. Another example being @Seattle in 2015, huge game and win against a team who it seemed like we'd never beat at the time.

 

But otherwise I agree with you, I don't view this Bills game as a big game, and I don't think Bryce has had any big games in his career yet.

Yeah but last year thielen got hurt in the raiders game and didn’t play until Bryce was back. 

Diontae stopped taking his meds and wasn’t really a factor either. 

Most of daltons stretch his top receiver was XL.

Okay. Agree

Obvious Measuring stick games should be included. 
Like going to Seattle and proving we could beat them there. 
Good enough. 
This isn’t any of that though.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂

      A substack is a new deli item.  It's a layered creation in which the turkey, ham, chicken and liver mush are alternately placed between pancakes.  Lettuce and tomato are between the top two layers of flapjacks.
