Ekwonu’s injury and potentially Hunt’s injury could force the Panthers to go OL. Especially considering how week the OL FA class is.

Nepotism wins in Atlanta, Tilis remains in Carolina, for now.

Man to man defense doesn’t win the cup and it’s going to cost us Nikishin.

If the NFL cared they’d make all flags reversible by a replay team. I guarantee you that you’d see the best officiating you’ve ever seen and most of the time replay assist wouldn’t even be needed. But that would require the NFL giving up the small amount of control they have left to influence games in certain situations. The MLB has decided to take their umpires out of the game in hopes that it’ll bring fans back but it’s unlikely the NFL ever will. There’s too many sheep that blindly follow the NFL no matter what.

It’s really not that big of a difference at all assuming entire crews are receiving suggestions to influence outcomes for future tv ratings, ticket sales, etc. A few calls one way or another and NFL referees can put someone in and take someone out of field goal position, which they did with the Dowdle, TMac, and Otton calls. Every single one of those calls either took the Panthers out of field goal position or put Tampa in field goal position. Assuming makes, you are now looking at a 20-13 Panthers win rather than a 16-14 Panthers loss. It’s really not that difficult for NFL officials to influence games. Not to mention, Donaghy even stated that multiple referees, who he called company men were instructed to extend the 2002 Western Conference finals. If it happened/happens in the NBA then it’s happening in the NFL. And that’s with the entire crew being aware of what’s being asked of them by the league. I think at this point it’s pretty obvious that there are certain outcomes that favor these sports leagues and to stay in good standing a lot of these company men will do whatever is necessary to assist the league in achieving their goal. Not all games are influenced and I don’t think the league cares who makes the playoffs from our division but they are glad that they will have sheep from four fanbases tuned into tomorrows game.

Baker will have a 4 INT day if we’ll let him. Just stop playing soft zone.

Tyler Shough is the best QB in this sorry ass division.

Pretty ridiculous that the majority of roster looks like they don’t have the proper equipment on for a wet natural surface.

Did the Canes strike gold again? Cerrato leads the NCAA in points with 11 in 4 games.

Smart by McDavid, gave the Oilers a discount and two years to help him get a cup. If that doesn’t happen then he goes to the highest bidder once some of that massive TV money hits. Potentially a contract in the $25M AAV range.

Canales is a no win situation in my opinion. Bryce can’t run his offense so Canales is having to coach the same way Wilks did when he went 6-6 as the interim head coach filling in for Reich. Dowdle threw up 200+ for Canales but a few years ago Foreman put up 160+ for Wilks in the same type of game as yesterdays. But at the end of the day (shoutout Matt Rhule), this type of offense peaks at .500. A Trent Dilferesque QB, a Jamal Lewisesque running back, and an elite 2000’s Ravensesque defense won’t win you a Super Bowl anymore. We need above average to elite QB play and the only hope now is that our scouting department can find one in the middle of round one because this team is in .500 purgatory.

Can’t wait much longer if they are going to do something like this. Cam even mentioned how difficult it is to come in and learn a full offense in a couple weeks and that’s coming from an MVP QB, not a rookie. Shedeur would realistically need a month to grasp our sets and language before throwing him out there and by then we are half way through the season. Unless the FO truly believes that Shedeur can be a starting QB in the league to the point that they’d pass on a first round QB in next years draft then there’s really no reason to send draft capital for a QB who wouldn’t fully have command of our offense until the following year and by then he’d more than likely be competing with a first round QB. It just screams wasting assets for an attempted quick fix. Best option is to trade Bryce to Vegas, ride out the suck with Dalton, and try again next year. But our FO seems hell bent on milking any and every value a player has before trading them for scraps (except Thielen).

One less person in Nadeau’s way, Tyson Jost claimed.

Actually Jaaska is on a two-way this year, his one way doesn’t start until next year so he can be sent down.
