One popular trolling remark was that Newton couldn't make a critical drive in the fourth quarter to ice a win. Busted

Another trolling comment was that the Panthers couldn't win against a team with a winning record. Busted

I winder how long before we hear from the trolls this week.....

I don't think we win that game if it's not a backup out there, but a win is a win and I thought they'd be able to control the game with running the ball.

Defense stepped up big in making a couple of critical plays, offense had a great drive there, and a couple clutch conversions to run out the clock.

Also remember that the Falcons lost to this exact Houston team about 2 weeks ago....So them having Yates and Johnson being out is not a valid argument. They are still a very good team and we beat them.

Johnson had 4 catches for 97 yards. Not the exact same team.

I think the "Cam isn't clutch" thing was way overdone, but there was something to be said for our offense's inability to get it done in the 2nd half most of the season. Even today I felt like we really struggled at times.

The thing is, I always feel like in the 4th quarter Cam has at least one really nice drive. Sometimes the team as a whole can't finish it for one reason or another (missed FGs, penalties on key plays, etc) but overall I do think he has shown enough in 4th quarters, even before this game, not to panic about him "not being clutch."

I agree but people love putting everything on the QB. In a close lose he isn't clutch. In a win, he put the team on his back. I could swear there weren't 10 other guys on the field with him.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
