Chuba and Dalton are terrible and Canales doesn’t see the issue

And that’s saying a lot lol because Bryce sucks. But yeah Dalton would look bad in division 3 college right now. Just awful

This fuging team man. Just cut Dalton tomorrow there’s no point to having him on the team. Pathetic. Awful coaching too

He’s a really bad coach. The players and fans deserve better

I think we’d have 14 points by now if we just handed to Dowdle 80% of the plays with an occasional play action to Tet

Well we do have time to get a TD and get the ball to start the 3rd. Could be down 2 points before we know it lol

This is a fuging fireable offense man, WTF is wrong with Canales. Dumb piece of poo

lol Dalton jeez

Tet is so damn good man, can we get him a QB who can unlock his full potential.

Run D is awful but coverage has been phenomenal today

Run D turned to poo lol. Meanwhile we go away from Dowdle to Chuba. Whatever man, fun run but fully expecting the season to collapse now

You may be thinking of someone else?

Great coverage there, Allen had a few spots to set and get a throw before the sack. Nice by Scourton and others to stick with it too

What a fuging awful call on the field, that was nowhere remotely fuging close to being a catch. Cheating fugs

lol I hate being negative about the team I’m always such a glass half full guy and optimistic. But Tepper has done that to me man. It’s not our first time under Tepper having a winning record around this time of year. Always turned out to be a fugazi, so I’m tempering expectations. Obviously I’m way happier being 4-3 than having our seasons over by now like the last several years. But Bryce is truly terrible and I don’t see any way around our weak QB position this year as the schedule gets much tougher. I’m becoming more and more optimistic though about the progression of the D and what Canales can do with a legit QB behind this line and this running game and progression of young WRs. But that’ll take at least next offseason so this year I’m tempering expectations significantly.

If Dalton plays well in a win against Buffalo I keep him in there. Bryce has done nothing at all to suggest it’s his job to keep once he returns. But I suspect Dalton will suck too and we lose

I had erased Pat Elflein from my memory. This hurts seeing that lineup again man. Woof

Calling any aspect of Bryce's game "elite" in 2025, lol

Yeah I'm well aware lol, but for many people, myself included, it ceases to be entertaining when the integrity of the sport comes into question. If I wanted scripted non-competitive athletics for entertainment I'd watch WWE. Which I don't, and haven't since I was a child.

And every fuging broadcast has betting lines in graphics everywhere, guy at the free throw line better make sure everyone knows the odds that he makes it and sees the advertising for free $50 in bet credits if you make an account and bet $1000 in your first week or whatever the hell it is. Just a disgrace

It was completely pathetic for all these sports leagues to embrace gambling the way they have. A stain on all these sports.

fuging awesome win all around, loved nearly everything I saw. Of course the Nets suck and we’ve won our opener like 10 straight season lol so it doesn’t mean much but better than losing or having certain young players look terrible. Hopefully we can stay healthy can keep building. Also, for at least a couple days, all 3 Carolina pro sports teams have winning records… When was the last time that happened? I think last time both Charlotte teams had winning records was 2018 but Canes I think were below .500 then

I don't think it's quite so black and white. There are other examples, and sometimes it's just a you know it when you see it kind of thing. 2013 we had a MNF game against New England in November, they were coming off a bye at 7-2 and we were 6-3 coming off a close win against the defending NFC champ 49ers. That was about as big of a game as it gets and to me was one of the most defining and important wins and games of Cam's career and that entire core from 2012ish through 2017 (our best stretch in team history). Doesn't fit any of your categories and even in a vacuum losing there wouldn't have mattered all that much being an out of conference game in November, but that game mattered a ton for the team and our confidence and swagger. Another example being @Seattle in 2015, huge game and win against a team who it seemed like we'd never beat at the time. But otherwise I agree with you, I don't view this Bills game as a big game, and I don't think Bryce has had any big games in his career yet.

It's an interesting argument but it's not like he invented the peanut punch, he was just so good at it that it got the name, I don't think he changed the game he was just incredibly good at that aspect of it. He had one incredible season that resulted in a 1st team All-Pro nod, and played a little bit longer but otherwise I don't think he was much better of a player than say Chris Gamble, who is nowhere near the hall of fame. Of course the peanut punch, 1st team all pro and a bit more longevity elevates him above Gamble, but enough to be a HOFer? I'm skeptical. Big fan of his game and loved him here pre-injury (man I still wonder what if that year; so many guys deserving of rings on that team), but I don't see him as a HOFer.

yeah saw your follow up post after I replied as I read further down in the thread. That's fair but in some ways is a pointless exercise as that'll be true for majority of hall of famers just because one or a few others at their position are better. Like I'd never pick Adrian Peterson to be my RB on a dream team over a Sanders for example, but he's absolutely a hall of famer and incredible player that any team would love to have.
