yeah I hate Atlanta too but Bucs are clearly way more of a threat to us than the falcons, gotta pull for the birds today

Aints and Jets both have decent pass rushes, even with their injuries. Our OL has held up pretty well for the most part.

also, Greg is fuging great calling this game. Glad he got the gig and is doing so well

Matty Ice with a nice read option 2 point conversion. Now pound Brady into the dirt and get the ball back and take the lead. fug the Bucs

yep, really putting up a good fight. hope they pull through so we're sitting a top the division. Patterson one handed TD!!! 1 score game, let's go birds

With an extra wildcard like last year, and looking at our schedule I can absolutely see playoffs this year. And no reason we won't be improved next year with another draft, not scheduled to lose anyone of note and a bunch of cap space... Future is bright in Carolina right now.

It's obviously early and the defenses we go up against will get tougher but Darnold is on pace for the following stat line: 425/620.5, 68.5% completion %, 4,964 yards, ~8ypa, 25.5 pass TDs, 8.5 INT, 8.5 rush TDs and 8.5 fumbles lost You'd like a few less turnovers, but I think going into the year we'd all be ecstatic with nearly 5000 yards and 34 TDs on that kind of efficiency. BTW his career efficiency stats are: 59.8% completion %, 6.6 ypa, 45:39 TD:INT ratio. Very very good start so far, not without hiccups as both 2nd halves haven't been great and of course the INT today was terrible. But really can't ask for much better from a reclamation project that only cost us what could become a late 2nd rounder next year, if we make the playoffs/win any playoff games...

2013 was an all time great D, we were just barely behind the Seahawks who are regarded as an all time great D and I'd argue we were a better D then them that season outside of the first month which dropped us a bit in the full season stats (their O was just way better which is why the strolled to a SB win and we dropped the 49ers playoff game). The front 7 in 2013 was just absolutely insane. Hardy had one of the best years from a pass rusher I've ever seen -- dude was elite as a pass rusher, elite dropping back into coverage and elite in run support. CJ was elite as well until the Pats cheap shotted him with a leg whip and he missed some time, but he was still great when he came back and played through the injury. Star and KK were great too as were the other DL. Luke, TD and Blackburn/Klein was arguably the one of the greatest 4-3 LB groups ever, Luke and TD were both absolutely incredible. The secondary on paper wasn't good but Mitchell, Munnerlyn, Florence and Mikell were rock solid veterans and UDFAs Melvin White and Robert Lester balled out that year too. Rivera and McD coached the hell out of that D too I absolutely agree our secondary this year is much better on paper than 2013, but our front 7 is nowhere near that level right now and 2013 overall was still considerably better than I expect we'll be this year. Of course, there's still plenty of room and time for this D to prove themselves as good or better than 2013. But it won't be easy. That 2013 D was just so friggin good.

I think we're already guaranteed to be 1st in points allowed through 2 weeks. The only teams that could've theoretically been ahead of us are playing now and have already allowed enough points that we'll be ahead of them.

Will be tough to beat 2013 but yeah extremely excited for the D this year.

If you know a college student who will be willing to let you use their college email and their info to sign up for Sunday Ticket that will work.

Ridley is trash. Couldn't pull in a jump ball opportunity that he should've had down field a few plays ago then false start on 3rd and 2. scrub

def. want ATL to win straight up

Yeah just a terrible pick value wise. He may turn into a beast in a few years but you can't take a TE 4th overall. Horn is going to be more impactful than Pitts in their careers.

if they did the league would commish exempt him, that would be way too big of a bad story for the league to let him play through the allegations.

Yeah this seems like even more of a gimme than the Aints game

Matt Ryan is such a bitch, falls short of a 1st down on a well blocked short yard QB sneak attempt.

Yep extremely impressive despite them missing coaches, Michael Thomas, etc. Most of their more consequential injuries/absences for this week were on D and say what you will about Jameis, the dude can sling the ball and has put up a ton of yards in his career (just also with the boneheaded turnovers). Plus their OL is flat out elite still, best pair of OTs in the league. We dominated them with our pass rush and didn't get their weapons any room to make any plays. Great game from the D.

Gotta go to the pass rush (surprise surprise). Burns and Reddick were just relentless today, against an elite OL. Fox and Jones had great games as well.

129 yards from the Aints this game (pending more garbage time yards). Last previous low under Payton in his Aints career was 170...

Best D in the league and we add Bouye to this group next week. Snow is a damn good coordinator too. Just need Darnold to eliminate those Darnold plays, Brady to get his head outta his ass in the red zone, and ST i don't even fuging know. But great win, fug the Aints

why the hell is McCaffrey still in the game? we're up 3 scores, put the scrubs in

Horn gets his first career pick anyways. Happy for the kid.

and we add Bouye to this group next week.. Dude was legit top 5-10 CB just a few years ago.

Definitely possible. Though we haven't really gone up against any real challenging offenses. Aints OL is great and we've gotten to the QB 4 times (should've been a few more too) but Winston sucks and their weapons suck overall (Kamara is good but has been lackadaisical today).
