Agree. I think Canales was calling plays that require downfield passing, or a check down. Make Bryce show you he can push the ball downfield by just taking away all of those 5-10 yards routes every play.

wasn't he pretty good on the left side with Ickey last season? Maybe he and D Lewis can switch? I know. It could lead to 2 positions being out of sync. But might be worth a shot.

I know we give BY a lot of credit for Sunday, but the reality is it was as much a coming out party for the receivers as it was for the QB. They made clutch catches and actually gained YAC. Their development is just as important as the QBs to the passing game. This is a super young group and they'll only get better. Anyone saying how much the team has done before the season to make BY look good is being disingenuous. This was going to take some time to gain chemistry as soon as Thielen was traded. This is who caught passes Sunday: TMac - rookie Mitch Evans- rookie XL - 2nd year project player Coker - 2nd year UDFA J Sanders - 2nd year Tremble - vet that's mostly considered a blocking TE Tremayne - 3rd year UDFA that caught exactly 1 pass for -2 yards before coming to Carolina Dowdle - first year with the team, and he's a RB Chuba - RB who is not a natural pass catcher and needed a lot of work to become a somewhat viable receiving option Potential is there. But this is not a great group to start the season with. Particularly for a young QB coming into his 3rd season. Either way BY has to figure it out and fast. This team has been much more patient than a lot of teams would. Even if you're dealt a bad hand.

Can't argue that. At all.

Jayden Daniels had a hail mary last season that was nothing but Terry McLauren making a play. Jayden just threw the ball in his general direction.

You can't whif on A and B gap blitzes. That'll get your QB f'd up quick. At least make him go around you a little. Get beat on a spin or swim? Ok the dude was just better than you that play. But to not account for guys blitzing your gap when you're a friggin OG is inexcusable.

It would have been a 2 minute video the last couple of weeks.

I mean if you're taking GWDs off the record because he didn't throw a pass, should we add a few where he took the lead or tied the game with less than a minute and a half left in the game, and the defense crapped the bed? Or if the WR drops a perfectly thrown ball that hits him in both hands and the stomach/chest area? Seems like similar logic to me. A lot of QBs get freebie GWDs. It's not just a Bryce thing. Dude just needs to keep pushing the ball down the field and stop dinking and dunking all the time. We know he can do it. He just has to know it.

I think so too. But to be fair, the defense has given up a few as well.

Gonna be tough on Carolina's defense. They have a receiving TE and RB. Like best in the NFL at what we tend to struggle against. This game will come down to CSW and Moehrig. Maybe Thornton can get in the fray. Offensively, this is a game Carolina should be able to move the ball on the ground and in the air. The key will be the redzone. Gotta come away with more TDs than FGs. Hope: 30-24 Panthers Realistically: 40-24 49ers

Your expectations aren't realistic. No QB makes every throw in any game. Watch KC play right now. Let me know how many passes you think Mahomes could have made but didn't. Heck we saw Josh Allen miss passes against Carolina a couple of weeks ago.

Let him be out

Make up call

Why are they not blitzing Kirk f'ing Cousins?! He's a statue in the pocket

Yeah Evero!!!
