Vegas has us winning by three or more. Are we just that good or is Buffallo that bad or a mixture of the two. Its kind of suprising seeing as how both us and the Bills lost a tough home opener to SB contenders and both the Bills and Panthers played them tough until the very end, yet Vegas has us as favorites.

Interesting. I would have expected something like Bills -1.5. This means that the sharps in Vegas think we are clearly a better team than Buffalo (we'd be favored by 9 at home according to this line).

 

We'd be favored by 6 at home but either way that's a big spread.  It will be interesting to see how the line moves this week.  The implication to me is that we're expected to make life a lot harder for Manuel than NE did.

Yeah you're right. For some reason I was double counting the HFA points. But yeah, still a lot, basically we'd be TD faves at home.

 

edit: Actually no, I think I'm right. If you think about the "walk back", HFA is worth 3 points. Panthers are favored by 3 at Bills, which means we would be favored by 6 on a neutral field, and 9 at home. Unless Vegas doesn't take into account "neutral" fields (since that's more of a college thing).

I've really had my fill of playing teams with elusive QBs who can avoid our pass rush, and we've only played one so far, and he played out of his fuging mind incredible. Makes me ill. Can't wait to play a team with a QB who can't dodge, fake out, run the wind and fire a pinpoint rocket pass 20 yards in stride. Give us that big dumb Matt statue Ryan to murder.

If we lose wonder what the Vegas odds will be on when Rivera, Shula or both get their walking papers?   I think the Panthers win something like 20-13.   The only two things I worry about in making this prediction is Shula's total ineptitude (like watching Pop Warner play calling) and Buffalo needing it as badly as the Panthers do.  

 

 

 

I take back that Pop Warner comment.  I've seen 9-10 year olds throw deeper than Cam did under Shula's play calling.

Your 24 hours are up. It is fine to talk about Buffalo but quit the bitching on Shula. First of all you are wrong about Shula who called a great game and our gameolan will be very different against Buffalo making your comments totally irrelevant.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
