Barely escaping the worst team in the league...

Does anyone still think YPP is a useful offensive stat?? I think that ship has sailed.
Houston led the entire league in the last game....and they had an atrocious game on offense.....St. Louis was top 5 and lost.....Cleveland was top 7 and lost. It's measuring something, but it isn't necessarily the offensive unit's performance level.

oh hey, one neat thing I just saw from this...

cam was 13/20 at the half

and finished 20/27 in the game... he threw only 7 passes in the last 2 quarters but he completed all of them for 90 yards.

That's the 2nd time this year he has done that (completing all 2nd half passes). I can't remember which game it was...Washington maybe?

not doubting you, but how do you know this? Wouldnt mind readin that article if there is one.

Here's a link to the article:

Here's a quote from Dan Conner about the talk McDermott gave them:

"We were ready to go (Saturday) night," linebacker Dan Connor said of McDermott's talk. "It was (about) the defense has to start pulling our weight. We want to be on the same level our offense is on. That's what it came down. We came out fired up."

This thread reminds me of the horrible smelling crap I had yesterday.

It was bad, I mean, 2 cans of Lysol bad. Not sure what I ate, but man whatever it was pretty awful. It made me tear up, and any coworker within 50 yards of the bathroom probably lost their lunch. It was the kind that even a courtesy flush won't help.

but it still didn't stink as much as this thread

the OP, accomplishing poo

There are 4 or 5 other teams (including the Bengals) who "barely escaped" the Colts by just about the same point spread as we did.

Then there are the Steelers who barely escaped the Colts by 3 points.

As bad as the Colts are, they've been in a few games right down to the end. The only difference is that against us they were coming off a bye, so they had more time to rest and study us then they did other opponents.

The good news is they don't call it a "barely win" they call it a "win" so it doesn't matter how you got it.

Wonder how the Saints and Packers feel about barely escaping us?

I love how TRD keeps a running list of quotes from different people to one day use in a trolling thread.

Those were all quotes from one thread about Tampa Bay.

If I kept a running list, the OP would have been much, much longer.

Before the Minny game, people thought we were going to run the table too.

Too high after wins, too low after losses.

I tend to get too high after wins or losses.rizla.gif

that D is going to be the same story all year.. only so much they can do at the LBer position.. and our DTs already hit the wall...

I like to imagine everyone on the huddle as either stoners or crack heads because it makes most of the posts excusable.

marijuana should be legalized.. for srsly.

    • Rumors are the team is in fact done with Ikem. So it was going to be a LT, just depended on which one got to them at 19. 
    • I have not read the entire thread, and I realize this is fluff to a degree, but it was recorded in real time.  Here are 10 things that stood out to me: 1. Morgan wrote down (before day 3) the first three day 3 picks.  (Lee, Hecht, and Wheatley).  I was never fond of the Morgan hiring as GM.  I thought he was a lazy selection and I questioned his ability to match wits with some of the best GMs in the NFL.  Not any more. Morgan OWNED this draft.  He knew which players were good fits and when they would be bargains, and he got bargains.  I am thoroughly excited about every player. 2. Canales said (about Hecht, a 5th rounder):  "He has a real chance to start."   Morgan said the same thing about Freeling. While I do not expect either to start day 1, it looks to me like we drafted 40% of our starting OL in 2026.  I think we will sign Ickey to a deal and play him at RG, allowing us to escape the Robert Hunt contract in 2027.  Of course that is conditional, and Ickey could replace Moton instead, but if he fully recovers, we are looking at a better RG/RT than he was a LT--which was average.  3. When Morgan said to second-round DT Hunter, "Ready to play beside Derrick Brown?"  Based on personalities, one calm and soft spoken (for the Most part, Brown is) and the other talkative and openly enthusiastic, it reminded me of Brentson Buckner and Kris Jenkins.   4.  Perhaps the steal of the draft was Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II.  Clearly the Panthers felt that they passed on him when they took Hunter in round 2.  They mentioned his skill set (able to attack on "all three levels.")  This sent me back to watching film. He has speed, hands, and he produced without a great QB. I think he could be great in the NFL.  When  5. Tepper was a bit more involved than I would like, but he seems to be very confident in Morgan.  If I were the owner, I would be doing the same thing.  Canales was also somewhat of a background character--everyone understood his role and stayed in his lane.   6.  I am also very interested in the quantitative analytics aspect of the draft room.  (something like, "He has a 94% chance of being there at pick 55, and a 38% chance of being there at 87). I would like to know their formula, because it seemed to be spot on. 7.  BPA?  Not really.  They had a shopping list and seemed to be targeting the players they selected. I realize other players were edited out, but I was impressed how they knew, by round, who they wanted and if there were multiple options sitting there, they traded back. 8.  Evero (I think) called Lee a candidate that would serve as the "#3 CB."  Morgan describes his size as a plus (Long). Strong praise for a 4th rounder.  If so, we have Thornton coming off injury who played well as an UDFA rookie and they will battle it out to become Jackson's replacement after the 2026 season, assuming the Panthers do not extend him (he turns 30 in 7 months.O 9.  I think we could realistically see every one of these draft picks play this season, and I believe most could start by next year--Realistically, Freeling, Hunter, Hecht, and Brazzell could all be starting or key rotational pieces this year.  I see Lee and Wheatley getting special teams reps and both could be used this season more than expected.   10.  Kuwatch seemed to be predetermined with the final pick, probably because he can add something special to special teams.   He and Bam Martin Scott will fight it out for the 4th ILB position, so it will probably come down to special teams--and Kuwatch stands out there.  Imagine an ILB with a 46.5 vertical (not a typo) on the FG block team.  Kuwatch has an 8.85 RAS score vs. Martin-Scott's 7.5.  
    • They did mention Bain as the pick if he fell but didnt seem confident that would be the case.
