I honestly thought there was a chance Dalton was going to retire. Then again, if things go well, he'll be paid a few million to hold a tablet.

Oy, vey! Personally, I find people who feel like they have to elevate themselves by putting others down as losers. There are ways to be blunt and still be respectful, you know.

Going off memory here but I recall a thread similar lo this but with Bill Cowher spotted at the airport. He was more wanted here than Harbaugh, ya know.

A dream until we got trampled by a bunch of horses ridden by zebras.

Superb Bowl was just not that superb. Needed more Panthers. Maybe next time...

I usually don't even listen to the halftime show and so I don't have any real opinion.

That throw is as dumb as all these Superb Owl commercials.

I already despise it.

Oh, look. The Superb Owl has started.

Of course the rules changes come in just in time to screw over two Panthers players. Luke not getting in right away, especially, is such a travesty.

Keeping it to football - as I could go on for ages on this otherwise - this is the type of thing that should be a massive PR nightmare for the NFL. However, I would be surprised if there's any actual consequences to the Saints similar to Bountygate.

I have a feeling that without Bryce's resurgence and Coker potentially being his successor, retirement or going elsewhere would've been the more attractive option. Really long shot to give Thielen a shot at a ring like we tried with Jared Allen, but having him back is going to make things easier.

Only video can make that "juke" justice. Actually, with just how awful Hall tackled here, maybe not the best coach out there to show our corners how to tackle. https://youtu.be/y8QSFrwaB2k?si=IscLtwI_uK51B2Vv&t=122

Ah, yes. Jake's last good moment as a Panther by somehow juking Hall for a game-sealing first down. It's almost as though he never saw it coming. Wonder if it's the same with getting the axe.

First off, I'm not a big fan of these hypotheticals. Second, I'm often skeptical of what people say in that type of forum. Far too many saying things because shock value equals attention. Third, a football team is - at minimum - 50+ players plus coaches and all the support staff on and off the field. I personally don’t like this notion as much but the quarterback is usually the face of the franchise, the leader. You give up your body and soul for everyone around you to where individual achievements are secondary if it means you leave the field as the ultimate winner along with everyone else. To this day, I still remember Thomas Davis utterly broken after losing the SB and the man played with a busted arm. You're telling me an MVP award isn't worth giving up if it meant he could've cried tears of joy instead? To give all those kids that special moment in their lives watching a victory parade? To put that cherry on the top for every fan here on that 2015 season instead of us still wondering if we'll ever see the Panthers lifting the Lombardi within our lifetimes? I don't know, man. Maybe it's just how I view leadership as being so much more about those around you than yourself.

Bills choke again. This is why I couldn't enjoy this game. We all knew how this was going to end.

Could be a career-defining drive for Allen if he can engineer a long drive that ends with a TD.

Dang, so close to turning the ball over.

Cannot turn the ball over in the playoffs and win. Just doesn't happen that often. I don't see the Commanders getting out of this hole.

Washington needs to ditch these lateral pass plays. They end up much like ours; waste of a down.

If that was a Panthers receiver, they would've been tackled immediately.

Yeah, this game already feels over. That "effort" by the Washington D made our run defense look slightly better!

Daniels threw a lot of balls low on that initial drive.

Going with Eagles and Chiefs mainly because that's the matchup I want to see the least and given how things have gone recently, whatever I want, the opposite happens. If Washington does win, it's because they slow down Barkley just enough to force the Eagles to lean on Hurts, who I believe is going to be a liability if pressed to do more. Chiefs and Bills has become Brady versus Manning in the playoffs. it's that hurdle Manning could not clear for ages until he finally did. Maybe Allen could do the same, but there's every reason to doubt it happening in the now.

That will be Canales' challenge for himself going into the next season. We may have finished the season quite strong, but we did enough good things on tape for our opposition to look over and counter. To some extent, I do think Slowik was a bit of a scapegoat. There were injuries to the O-line and he kept losing receivers throughout the season. The not being to adjust bit is a rather common flaw with a lot of NFL staff. It's just a bit odd to let go of someone that quickly, though. Almost hints of something more to this story that we're not privy to. And Bills fans reaction to this will be fully dependent on what happens tomorrow.
