The most complete game of the year....

Was played today.

Cutler was carving us up in the first, but we adjusted and shut him down. Our run game was great, Jake was good, he was finding Smith (obviously), Moose, and even some looks to King and Jarrett (albeit some iffy throws, but still, he's scanning a bit). Defense stepped it up, we got tons of pressure on the "impenetrable o-line." Peppers was held by the rookie all day, but no calls. Brayton/Johnson are a great tandem for DE, and luckily our secondary picked it up. Godfrey had some mess ups but made up for it too.

If we play like this from now on we'll be tough to beat.

I think we played very well today and a good game plan by the coaches was probably a big factor for us. I was shocked when we came out slinging the ball around...happy(especially considering how well Delhomme played), but shocked. Denver's run defense hasn't been very good all year long, so I really expected a paint by numbers type of gameplan from Foxy.

i' think the most complete game this year was the Saints game earlier (no passing TDs let up to the #1 passing team), then this game, then the chiefs game (don't forget we had 2 turnovers in that game) then the bucs game (2 turnovers and our D was torched at times with huge plays)

WTF...our run game was straight up bad IMO...take away the 60 yard gain from Williams and it was like every play was for 2 or 3 yards.

you can't "take away" a 56 yard TD run.

they had a linebacker playing safety and played the run the whole game. just the threat of the running game changed their whole gameplan, and it cost them dearly.

:lol: at their other safety playing 30 yards deep.

They played a 4-4 all game with that LB as a S. Great if you want to stop the run but if the other team can throw the ball your gonna get eaten alive. They also put Moose one-on-one all game. The mark of a good team is when someone take away your bread and butter you kill them with the other.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
