Last season against the Seahawks, Cam completed 12 of 29 passes for a 41.4 completion percentage. He threw for 141 yards and had no TDs or Ints, but did have one fumble.

If one of those drives were sustained today that Olsen dropped a pass on, or we sustained any other drive, he would've surpassed his yardage total against them from last season.

He completed at almost 70% today for 125 and a TD.

Their secondary is apparently just that good.

Now the downside... they were missing virtually all of their pass rushers and Browner in the secondary. But, perhaps Seattle's defense should be given some credit.

Still I don't want to hear excuses or moral victories, I'm just saying there's a slight possibility that we didn't play as bad as it actuslly appeared and our offense perhaps isn't destined for failure.

Don't get me wrong, that's still me stance on things. But next week is my last, last, last chance given to Rivera... even though I felt we shouldve fired him midway through last season.

We need a #1 WR. That's our main priority IMO. Rivera is getting better however will he ever be what we need him to be? I'm willing to be JR wants to find out despite our record. (unless it's fuging terrible) I just think Rivera has transformed our defense from a joke to a fuging juggernaut. We are a play making safety and a true #1 receiver away from being truly great. I hate to say it but Rivera needs more pieces to truly be great but you're right he has enough for this team to be competitive. I'm drunk I don't even know if this paragraph makes sense.

Done with moral victories time to win a dam game. This guys didn't build off these type of game last year so I don't expect them to build of this one.

After all the talk this off season about wanting to be more aggressive and stuff I can't believe Rivera called the game he did. Almost impressive how gutless this guy is.

We are still a improved 6-10 team. We took on a team that is playoff caliber and lost. In that regard we are a year or two away from a good team. When you play ST guys the fug up because they are ST guys. I happens and we will have to deal with that.

In today's NFL, more important than a great defense, you need a offense that can get you points when you need it late in the game. The Panthers simply don't have it as it was evident again despite all the problems last season. Simply inexcusable not to upgrade that part of the team

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
