We've gone full circle. We did not have the cap space to sign these offensive linemen you think we missed out on by sitting around. You know not being able to sign a player and not signing a player are two different things. 

 

Speaking of circles, seems pretty obvious we're just going around in them here.

 

Let's see what Gettleman has planned in the coming days, we will find out.

Perhaps you don't realize that we were under the cap, as required, the 1st day of the new league year, and that Gettleman continued to free up cap space all summer long.

 

Did you miss that part?

 

Did you know you could carry over cap space from pervious year to increase your cap room the next year?   $18 mil carried over for a new HC and a year to review weaknesses on the team not taken care of through last years draft. Short term pain for long term gain?  Maybe that was the plan all along.  I hope I'm right.

The "plan all along" should have been to fire Rivera this year and get it over with, and begin anew.

 

Instead, our owner refused to pay two coaches, and we are now in the situation we are wasting a season on a lame duck coach again.

Yeah but there had to be constant moves to get us there buddy. Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm sorry, you gotta clear the flies on a turd sandwich before you can wipe it all off the bread. Our O-line continues to be decimated by injuries year in and year out. You can't control that. We were counting on Steve Smith to be the same Steve when clearly he is NOT. DG is on the right track tho, that much I'm assured of. It's just harder and harder every week to stay excited about this underachieving team

Oh yeah being $16 million over the cap meant there was plenty of cash to sign those two players you're talking about.

Some of what I've read seems to indicate that some of this year's cap saving are likely to be eaten up next year.

Don't know the numbers.

A large part of that freed up cap space was designated to next years cap because we're still not in the clear.

Or the problem was cap hell and it would take more than one season to get out of it limiting what one could do in FA and having to rely soley on draft and cheap one year contracts FA while having a lame duck coach until you can bring in your own HC to restart?

maybe it was a case of letting the draft dictate that for us.  Since we were able to land Star, we fixed the DL first.  I wonder how our roster might look if Star had gone top 10.

 

I'm fine with the first two picks being DT's.

 

The problem is we have a young QB in his third season that we have yet to do virtually anything with building around him on offense.

Two lame duck head coaches in three years. What else needs to be said?

So when was the last time you saw a Wr take a game over that the Qb was protected by a "decimated" o-line?

I mean is he supposed to block for Cam AND catch 40 yd burners?

I think we'll see a lot of moves on the offensive side going forward.

Neither of which are DGs responsibility.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Sunday Ticket is now offering a monthly subscription if you're not interested in subscribing for the full package Keep in mind that the full package will be less expensive than getting billed monthly for the same timeframe.  But for a one-off month situation? Certainly an option to consider they also don't seem to mind if 2 households share the same Sunday Ticket login. If you call and ask for discounts, they kinda allude to "do you have a friend you can share the cost with" in the conversation

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Watching ALL the games will require: Antenna or cable access to local broadcast partners to view the games of the local team. Due to blackout restrictions, the local games will not be available on Sunday Ticket.  What this means is that you DON'T NEED Sunday Ticket to view those local team's games. All games for a local team will ALWAYS be available on a local broadcast partner, no subscription required I've had success streaming the evening Sunday and Monday national games directly off the NFL/NBC/ABC websites, no subscription required. That said, ESPN may require login via your cable provider account - but it's included in your cable fee, so have fun with that.  NBC is available for free via antenna (or avail via cable, take your pick -- and ABC has been simulcasting the ESPN games, so that's also an antenna/free optio. The Peacock and Netflix exclusive games will require subscriptions to those services if the teams are not your local team YouTube will broadcast the Brazil game free  NFL Network for those random thursday games that aren't your local team... until the ESPN partnership comes into play, in which case your ESPN subscription should give you access (lots of assumptions with this bullet) Everything else is pretty much Sunday Ticket or go to your local bar I may have missed one, but the general gist is above In short, don't believe the online influences who say you need to purchase a full-year subscription to a service to watch "all" the NFL games (ie full year of Peacock). Because you don't need a full-year sub.   So no -- there is not a single service that will let you watch ALL the games Sunday Ticket will only cover you only for the sunday daytime games.

      Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.
