Why we all need to calm down

Carolina won 8 straight.  That is an incredible feat to say the least.  8 straight.  The Panthers were essentially DUE for a poor game.  

 

 

Sure their poor game came at a terrible time, but the season is far from over.

 

At the very least, we're playing 4 more games this year.  Probably 5.  I see this team coming out a playing pissed off the next 3 weeks to end the year.  They just got embarrassed on NBC.  

 

This game shouldn't take away anything from the Panthers.  Still a damn good defense and still have one of the best playmakers in all of sports with Newton. 

 

Remember when the Ravens got throttled against the Broncos late in the year last year? Why can't that be us?

 

 

And if you want to look even deeper down the road, we have DG at the helm in the FO, and has pieced together a pretty damn good team, in one year.  I see him making this team even better.

 

And Ron Rivera should not go anywhere.  He's working with what he has.  He has an aging group of skill players (D-Lo, Smitty) a makeshift O-Line (he has a DT out there for god sake) and cast aways at Wide Receiver (Ginn, Hixon).  Couple that with a role-playing RB/FB and an injury riddled Stewart and his options are limited.

 

 

Grow some nads and realize this team is still a premier team.  We've been spoiled the last 9 weeks and we just took an uppercut to the chin by a more experienced team.

TL;DR - stop being pussies

I can't believe I'm the positive one here tonight (compared to a portion of posters). Nice to see some sense around these parts.

 

Lets be real here.

 

WINNING HIDES EVERY THING

 

This is NOT an overreaction. You've been on the huddle long enough to know a true melt down... don't be fooled by these bandwagoners. This is not a melt down and no huddle fan is freaking out

 

The issues before the win streak, during the win streak, after the win streak still remains. Let's act like we didn't just have a repeat of a loss earlier this year

We should be happy this team is relevant at this point of the year.

I actually think it's relatively calm. The only players people are calling for is Jstew and Bell. Usually it's fire the owner, bomb the stadium, start a fund and let's build from scratch.

Overall, we left two TDs out on the field. We normally score in those situations. It will only hurt the team if they allow it to and I expect some changes will be made. We need to work on some things against the Jets to get prepared for the final 2 games.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      Passer Rating Differential: A Key to predicting a teams playoff and championship potential.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
