can't wait til their defense is even worse next season, after matthew thomas "ice" ryan strings the team for $15m a year on a new contract and they can't sign anyone to fix that AARP defensive line

realistically they're going to be looking at overhauling both lines in a season or two. their front four is going to be an outright rebuilding project with abraham being a hundred years old, babineaux due to start declining at any time, peria jerry looking like a bust, and no real threat at the other DE spot. kroy biermann would literally be their best DE if abraham was gone tomorrow. that's why the revis-to-atlanta rumors have me intrigued because trading away high draft picks to jam more star power into their secondary would be so insanely stupid that it borders on comical given their emerging problems up front.

also john clayton thinks matt ryan is going to want $20 million/year so there's that too.

I got a good feeling we sweep the falcons this year.

we should have this year.

in fact there's no reason we shouldn't have swept the nfcs.

I'm still pissed about losing to the bucs at all. getting swept by them is downright embarrassing and inexcusable.

if we didn't just completely implode at the end of two games that were on ice we'd have been 5-1 in the division. i rewatched the first bucs game recently too and we were playing well enough in the second half to have maybe slipped by with a one point win if a few things broke our way.

it's painful and infuriating to think about. i mean if you just look at the "in the bag" type games that we lost in horrible fashion we should have posted a winning record. it does almost feel like things are changing though-honestly even though we were coming off a loss to the chiefs i really felt like we were going to beat atlanta the second go around. coming back from being down double digits in the super dome is nothing to sneeze at either.

The first game in particular, but the second one was really atrocious. Between that and the Chiefs game, I'm still a bit amazed we bothered to retain Rivera.

the thing that keeps me from being optimistic that rivera learned better game management is that in the last few weeks we didn't have any wins that were close wins.

i want to see rivera do better in clutch situations. i want to see better game management that keeps us from inviting the other team to tie or take the lead by giving them the ball.

if i had seen him pull of a game or two that were in those situations at the end of the season when things were rolling i'd feel better and more optimistic but the only thing that i've learned is that if we are going to win we've got to blow the other team away because if the other team manages to keep it close we're going to find a way to give it to them.

Wait a minute, Panther's fans are talking poo about the Falcons? Bwahahahahahaha

When was the last time you guys had a winning season? What about a playoff appearance? Good god, you guys are idiots.

Wait, aren't you the guy that clearly is not wanted on an Internet message board, has been banned multiple times yet is so pathetic keeps coming back?

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
