Good break by Taylor. Lazy throw by Burrow.

Where is DJ Moore today? Can't get open against the Bengals?

Bozeman looks good. Foreman looks solid, but average. Takes what OL gives him. Not much at creating a play. Foreman is no CMC. Foreman is a very good backup RB in the NFL.

But I'm told Derrick Brown is an All Pro DT. Top of the NFL.

No worries. Brown and Burns will have a few easy plays and they will get celebrated after a loss where they were the targets for the Bengals game plan.

Entire drive was focused on Burns, Brown, and Hartsfield

Brown single blocked and put on skates

Run at Burns and Brown. Instant rushing offense for Bengals.

Derrick Brown off the field. Injured after he was abused and put on his knees?

Weak 4 man rush

DL with nothing

Brown got put on his knees and bowled over

Ridder, Glass, and Coan were the QBs my algo highlighted in 2022. The last 2 QBs it highlighted were Mahomes and Carr. The last time it pointed to 3 QBs was 2012 with Luck, Wilson, and Foles. So, yea. Glass is still out there and on the Bucs radar for Clyde Christensen. I knew about Kurt Warner and Dameyune Craig too because of the algo. Craig never got his chance even with him being more successful than Weinke, Lytle and Lewis. Craig would have been a better QB than Warner and Delhomme. They both got their shot. NFL teams miss out a lot on some good QBs. My algo also pointed to Griese and Brady coming out of Michigan under the coaching of Stan Parrish. Teams who plug and play 1st round picks who have failed with their first team instead of finding the good QBs no one can see are destined to fail. There are backup QBs in the NFL that have gone undrafted and are much better than many of these 1st round picks starting in the NFL.

Unless that QB has a pedigree name like Manning or Luck, it's a hard pass. Better value and more drive with a QB like Montana, Theismann, Rypien, Hostetler, Warner, Johnson, Brady, Wilson, and Foles. A team can pair them with a wr/rb combo like CMC/Kupp, Chubb/Moore, Faulk/Bruce, Green/Moss, or Wilson/Hall. They also produce more points for an offense in big games. In the last 20 SBs, there have been 11 QBs who have led their offense to produce more than 28 points against a SB defense. Brady, Mahomes, Foles, Delhomme, Kaepernick, Brees, Rodgers, Johnson, Manning, Wilson, and Flacco. Only 4 of them were first round QBs. 33 teams have scored more than 28 points in the SB. 16 have been 1st round QBs. Bradshaw(2x), Aikman(2x), Elway(2x), Plunkett, McMahon, Simms, Williams, Young, Dilfer, Flacco, Manning, Rodgers, and Mahomes. Brady(3x), Montana(2x), Starr(2x), Stabler, Staubach, Rypien, Favre, Johnson, Delhomme, Brees, Kaepernick, Wilson, and Foles. 1st round QBs have been declining in their offensive productivity for championship teams over the past 2 decades.

Ioannidis was the most impactful defensive player against the Falcons. Henderson's INT was served up by Ioannidis.

#1 WR QB 3a route running/high % catch WR 3b speed receiver/return specialist Pass catching RB -Marshall Faulk/CMC Pass catching TE Pass blocking LT Run defending DE Run defending DT MLB FS (move Chinn to SS) Kicker 4 more championship offensive leaders to build around 2 more championship defensive leaders to build around Need a lot more pieces than the Panthers have to be a championship team

And then you realize that AVERAGE kicker was perfect and in the zone until DJ Moore put him in that situation of a game winning 40 yard PAT. Missed it and it shook him. DJ Moore doesn't go full on bonehead and that kicker has the PAT he has been in the zone to kick with the game winning pressure in the air. DJ broke the kicker and now that kicker is seeing the Panthers sports psychologist. Being iced by your own teammate sucks. Same way I feel for the QBs who have to bail a team out of a game winning drive on 4th and 25 because of their teammate taunting the defense or getting in a fight.

Perfect until DJ Moore shook him up

3 QBs from all these drafts have won the SB, and only 1 of them was picked in the top 5. Wilson, Foles, and Mahomes. So, why take a 1st round QB unless they are pedigree and groomed to be an NFL QB before they hit college like a Manning?

So... Since they had to cover Ickey in the pass with multiple TEs to move the pass rushers away from him and stay away from 7 and 5 step drops while leaving Ickey uncovered. So, a limited pass playbook of screen passes and 3 step drops with Ickey being covered up has increased his PFF grade. When left uncovered he is still getting beat bad 3 to 5 times a game with his slow kick step and waist bending. Good for him PJ is hitching up in the pocket and getting rid of the ball before he gets plastered.

Deal. Incomplete DE, selfish hero mode, poor tackler. Not a true championship leader. He is a specialist piece for a playoff contender. You don't build around a player like Burns.

CJ played centerfield. That play was 99% Matt Ioannidis

Being backed up due to a boneheaded action by a teammate at the last second before having to make a game winning kick and the mental carry over on focus for a kicker into OT would have a much greater bearing on making those kicks. Selfie was not the problem. Boneheaded decisions with the game on the line was the problem.

Yes, especially when he gave up on plays, got pushed down the field, and walked to the ball while the play was still going on. He enjoyed watching the game every 3rd snap he was on the field. How about that 4 man rush in the 4th quarter that turned into a 3 man rush because Brown decided he lost in the first 2 seconds so he would just drop back 10 yards and let Mariota have all the time he wanted in the pocket? Brown is just looking for the hero/highlight plays that he can get when they are easy and he just needs to slant hard into a gap while not caring about his actual gap/lane responsibility. He forgot to stunt 2 times on plays designed for him to stunt. One resulted in Mariota running up the middle for a long gain and a first down. That is not playing extremely hard or giving an amazing effort. I think someone should put a game reel together of all Brown's snaps and after you watch them back to back you can make this comment. Instead, you see 3 hero plays and forget there is more to the game for a DT than just slanting through a gap and hoping for the best. Having Brown at DT is much more costly for the team than most seem to understand. Ioannidis > Brown. Matt actually had key impactful plays while taking care of his team responsibilities. Matt showed up in the clutch too and never gave up on a single play.

Not looking forward to seeing the 49ers beat the Panthers in the playoffs over the next 6 to 8 seasons. The Panthers now have to plan on building a defense that can stop the 49ers and the Rams offense. Good job Fitterer
