I’m glad our game is late, my flight this morning was delayed 3 hours so otherwise I’d have missed it. But yeah weird we’re late with both teams being eastern. 

I’m glad it is too as I’m sitting here with no power in 22 degree weather. I’m hoping the power is back on before the game or I freeze to death.

I’m confident but honestly this whole season so far has been house money in my view. Never expected we’d come even remotely near a playoff spot, let alone the division. If we lose so be it, I expected every Nov/Dec game to be entirely meaningless. Hopefully we win, but no nervousness when we’re far ahead of where I thought we’d be — actually getting to enjoy football in the 2nd half of the season rather than every game only mattering for draft position…

Patriots are bitch slapping the Bills right now. They sure seem to be legit. Part of me thinks the dream scenario would be Panthers going on a crazy playoff run, making the super bowl, and getting a revenge matchup against the Pats.

As I was watching, unless something crazy happens, the Pats are winning the AFC.  And I’ve been saying the same for us as of late - I hope we go on a magical playoff run.  Yes, we have had some shitty games, but we also have beat the top team in our conference twice this season.  We are capable, we just have to be consistent.

Bryce is a dome qb. I think we make a statement today. Hopefully it's a positive one

Bryce is an Atlanta QB.   PFR separates domes from retractable roofs.   Pure domes, really dictated by NO is his worst work.  Just like Atlanta gives the open roof setup his best work

complete Jeckyl and Hyde performances with 2 opponents.  Atlanta and the Saints are the extreme variants of Bryce to date

I've literally only just realised this.

Settled in to watch the game and then looked at the schedule. No reason this should be a late game.

Did the same...

Why are we playing at 4:25?

My guess? The league sometimes prefers to have playoff important games at 4pm.

That would only apply if the game was moved though. I don't think it was, but I could be wrong.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
