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.

    • I get what you’re saying but the reason I think his mentality underscores it all is that he did have legitimately solid and sometimes even good games at the end of last year after his bench, and against some good teams (PHI, Tampa, KC)   but that was only after the season was shot and everyone thought he was done for. then once he had to play a meaningful game on Sunday he crumbled right back to pre bench form. It’s like he’s only able to when it *doesnt* matter  But all just semantics tbh, we both agree that he ain’t it lol
    • I'm still a big Bryce supporter. I don't look much at his rookie year as that only deepened the hole he has to climb out of. I see this past game as the 1st of his 2nd year.  Judge him based off of his play after his benching.  No argument that is play those first two games last year were about as bad as it gets.  No question. This is the start of year 2 for Canales and he was out coaches against the Jags but I like his process and how he goes about things.  I like that he, Morgan and Tillis seem like a unit and on the same path. Saying we never should have drafted him based on his height and weight is a valid opinion but he was a universal top pick in the draft and elite talent coming out.  I have seen little evidence those are still issues.  He is physical enough to take some monster hits and I don't see a limit to his passing due to his height. The lack of arm strength is a tired argument.  He has the physical ability to make all the necessary NFL throws.   Of course he doesn't have the cannon Cam did coming out but he also doesn't have Cams accuracy and throwing with touch issues.  They are different players and Bryce has a ton of work to do just to be in Cams shadow. Bryce IS part of the problem but he isn't the problem.  His play the last half of the season last year was impressive and showed a ton of growth and improvement. Outside of Horn, Nola and Chuba the whole team and staff looked severely off and not ready.   If Dave calls a great game and other players play average NFL level football and Bryce still plays like this that is when we'll actually have as big an issue at QB as the haters believe. The issues are team wide and it's one game. Also, I like Tepper.
    • They aren't credited with drops.   That's just PFF.  Not sure why they are still being pimped this hard when week 1 really highlights how bad they can be at times.  Especially when they manufactured Bryce's grade like they did.  Some 1984 stuff going on there....PFF telling folks not to believe their eyes and ears.
