uh huh.......... can I just go ahead and say we should make our gameplan to have no gameplan at this point? Think about it .... everytime we use 1 its some long drawn out play that gets us wrecked. So if we dont have a plan we might get a good plan by mistake. (jk)

Thanks Gang! I have to say.. I was frustrated watching and re-watching the Panthers offense vs the Giants. A part of me wants to blame the short week, but much of it was due to play design. Too dependent on designed run plays for the QB...which in all actuality, I would NEVER call a run play for a QB unless its on a sneak.. You just have to let mobile QBs run when plays break down.

Exactly. And after watching it a 2nd time without emotion, the Giants' game plan was clear...don't let Newton run. The DE's were keying on him all night.

An excellent analysis. Can our safeties meet the challenge that the Czar has set for them? That is the question that haunts this defense. Plus, this will create a lot of 1 on 1 matchups for White and Douglas. Is that in our best interest? Atlanta will probably try to establish the run early to draw us into the box. If we can't stop them with our front seven, and we have to bring a safety down in the box to help, they will have us right where they want us. A lot of pressure on Kuechly in that regard. If we can withstand the early onslaught of Turner and simultaneously take away Julio Jones, we can keep our heads above water. I think the players are capable, but will McDermott and Rivera see it the way the Czar does?

On offense, we must pound the rock. Even if we get down early...pound the hell out of them from PRO SETS! It's been said all week, but the read option is only going to be successful if they don't expect it. Right now...they expect it.

We win when Cam doesn't turn the ball over. That is an undeniable fact. Will he be mistake free in this game?

The Czar gives Altanta a decisive advantage at nearly every position. The cards are stacked against us. When was the last time we won under such circumstances. We usually lose games we are supposed to lose.

I'm hopeful, but not overly optimistic.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
