Nah, not yet. All of our losses have been big

True. However, we are finding ways to win the close ones that we 100% would have lost in the past. I think one more good draft/FA and possibly another QB and we are playoff bound.

Signs of good coaching.

Glad he realized what a mistake that Victory Monday was.  Team lacked focus all the way from that point to halftime of this game.  Not winning in a way that calls for a day off. WAY more work to do but there is growth in this young team. Loved that he called himself out for a few questionable coaching decisions. Great chemistry and relationships in this locker room.  Changing the culture of this franchise after years of mediocrity is no small accomplishment. 

With that QB too. And that defense last year. And Tepper.
It ain’t there but it is way better than it has been really, since Tepper bought the team. People knew the axe was gonna fall for Ron. As soon as he was forced to switch to a 3-4 the writing was on the wall. 
They say you lose a game for every rookie you start. We got two or three starting. Probably more. Very young team.

Tampa lost today so you guys are in this race.

I live in 49er country. I would love nothing more than to walk into work Tuesday morning with bragging rights lol.

I’ll say this about DC. He’s willing and able to change and adjust game to game.

It’s a big reason we’ve won some of these games. Opponents game planned for one thing and DC came in with something else.

this is head coach material stuff here. fire the team up, taking accountability for mistakes, and overall showed leadership

not the BS Jets postgame where the team played like absolute crap and everyone was patting themselves on the back

That is what I think people overlook in pursuit of perfection or dominance. The good teams almost all have to win a couple of ugly ones. Getting that out of your team is real progress. Maybe a better indicator than the dominant wins.

Bryce hitting the Dab!!!!

thought we'd throw in the towel after we were down (what, 14-7? 21-7?)   That the team/coach/water-kids were able to pull it together and make something happen is a strong showing of players and coaches believing in each other

now let's do it consistently. Win the games we're supposed to win.   Be competitive in the games that we're not favored (and maybe win those too)

So true...look back at 2015 when we won 15 during the regular season and like half of those went down to the wire

I did think about some of those games when typing that post. 
Ugly but a different kind of ugly. We put up massive offense and then pulled a Falcons. Except we snatched the win away at the end. 
Still, winning and it not being pretty is much better than losing. That team knew how to win. Mostly. But look who we had.

It does feel like the guys are believing. If they want to be winners, it takes efforts like today.

I hope we never see another game like NO the rest of the season.

Same.  I really hope Bryce turned a corner, but life as a Panthers fan means I’ve been burned too many times to believe the best-case scenario.  But, man, how dope would this be if these guys figure it out.  No more checking out, no more not showing up.  Play like you want to fuging win and leave nothing in the tank every week.
