This is what lost us the game.

Jarrod Allen: He beat Gross badly yesterday and cause 2 turnovers.

Vikings Oline: They manhandled Johnson in pass protection and allowed Ponder to roll to his side on allot of plays.

Our LB: They did a good job stopping AP but got handled in the passing game allowing loads of catches up the middle.

Playing conservative: After we were up a TD and Gross was having trouble with Allen we went into a shell. That resulted in three 3 and out plays. I understand we dont trust our defense and Allen had made two big plays but it cost us the game by not gambling.

Cams two fumbles is what lost the game end of story. If people can't see that then they are a clueless hugger.

It didnt lose us the game but it did effect how we played in the second half. We went out and thought we could run the ball on them and it failed.

Yeah, that was the best front-7 we have faced up to this point. They sure played like it.

Allen was huge when Cam dropped back to pass.

When Cam went to run, their LB #50 was always there to hit him at the LOS.

Everyone picked a very bad day to play like poo at times.

The Fumble right before half time was the real killer. No way we should have let them tie the game right before the half so they could take that momentum into the looker room. At on point I thin the Vikings were 5 of 6 on 3rd conversions in the second half. Teams have been exploiting the fact that with no Jon Beason or TD our middle of the feild the place to throw late in the game.

We're going to be an aggressive, physical football team, whether we're running the football, throwing the football, pass protecting or tackling, I want it to be a physical, no-nonsense, get-the-job-done identity."

29th against the rush. Probably the biggest single reason Panthers lost...

We really didnt play the run all that bad. Ponder throwing to his TEs uncontested and allowing him to stand in the pocket without pressure was our failure yesterday not the run.

I know that on at least one play Allen ran right past Gross almost untouched (with nobody attacking the inside gap) and caused a fumble.

There's no shame in getting beat by Allen, he's making a bid for MVP, but it's troubling when he runs right past your elite LT without being touched.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
