lightsout

I agree but at the same time, Canales said in the first couple of weeks that our identity is running the ball, playing smash mouth ball, and then throwing it over their heads. Bryce has had 11 pass attempts and we've had like, 4 actual run plays. At a certain point, we have to actually run the ball some. Bryce ain't a guy we can rely on in a shootout anyway. Why play to that style?

Self fulfilling prophecy. Canales is going to say post game that we couldn't run the way he wanted because we got down early, forgetting the fact that this is a fuging one possession game this entire first half. Lol

We've run the ball 5 times this half, and one of those was a scramble. Wtf are we doing

There's the offense we know and love lol. Also, KC literally got away with murder. There's a couple penalties there they could've called. Guess when there's that many simultaneously they had to give us one of them lol

All things considered, this has been a really damn good half for us. Playing the odds on favorite for the Superbowl. Playing against golden boy Mahomes, so the refs are going to sway this for the league. We're driving and just not finishing in the end zone. Defense is having lapses but keeping us in it. So far, I'm really liking how we look. On paper, we are never in this game.

It's not about numbers or charts. It's film. Film don't lie. Bryce would have to show command of the offense, the ability to be a calm during the chaos and the ability to motivate the offense. Bryce would have to be on the field as the offense moves consistently. If he does that week to week, and the offense can put up 24+ points, I'm happy. Anything less and he ain't it. It's that simple. It's why The Golden Calf of Bristol had the length of time he had. Team did well with him out there. Was he short lived? Absolutely, but that one stretch of games was fun as hell to watch. Bryce has to at least do that. He has to at least be The Golden Calf of Bristol in his prime. Lol Jesus fug the bar is low and Bryce can still walk under it

I'm gonna say 10 carries for 35 yards and a catch for 5, maybe a TD. I think he rips one for 10+ yards but otherwise struggles.

If Bryce shits the bed vs the Chiefs, he's done lol

Fair but my ifs are less excuse making and more "he played better than his stats show". Much like we played way worse as a team than the score shows. We got absolutely fugin dominated lol. We got bailed out by some luck and a couple really big drive killing plays made by high individual effort on the defensive side. This absolutely could've been a two TD loss if not for the defense showing up between our 40 and 50.

Here's my thoughts on it. Breakdown is good. Balanced and legit like a coach would break down film. Bryce has clearly put in the work. I think his benching may have been the best thing for him. Let him internalize and see the team be led properly, see a QB do things in the same offense that we haven't seen Bryce consistently try (like taking shots down field) so he can get his head away from "just protect the ball and don't mess up" which is where I think he was those first 2 weeks. Bryce could've gone for like 250 yards and at least one more TD with no picks if those two letdowns didn't happen on the deep balls. He had a legitimate NFL qb good day. Albeit against a bad defense but still, good play is good play. Bryce can cement his job back with another win and another strong outing. I think the screen volume was due to the constant heavy blitz looks. We need to do less of that and more hitting weak spots on quick hits outside and over the middle. We saw some of that but more is needed in place of so many screens. Bryce may be in the process of actual development. Nobody needs to be overly excited yet, because he can still fug this up. But ball is clearly in his court. Play well and put the questions to bed.

Nope. All the maps are from Ubisoft games and franchises like Tom Clancy. If they put Dust 2 in as a map in XDefiant I would play it more lol. I haven't touched XDefiant in a while and it's purely because CS took me back in. Been playing black ops 6 and I enjoy it but the matchmaking is still so fuged. XDefiant having more match to match disparity is simply more enjoyable

What's the CS/XDefiant comp?

Just talking ball man.

I'm still not Bryce fan, but I'll say his deep ball ranges from fuging perfect throws to absolute ducks that will result in picks if he isn't bailed out. I'm just glad he let it rip today. He needs that confidence to just send it sometimes.

BC looked OK. Dude can't hang with speed on his outside. Kept getting caught flat footed.

Panthers got absolutely out played the entire game and managed a couple of really good drives. Bryce has one of his best performances, even if it didn't show up on the stat sheet as much (the dropped TD long ball and the X near perfect throw and catch that got picked). Lots to feel good about. But holy hell do we have a long way to go

Pixel 9 Pro XL has been great. Literally zero issues or things I'd change as far as the phone goes.

This thread is the "they're cheating" complaint in gaming when you get beat by a better player. No, they're not cheating, you're just bad. No, Tepper isn't making all the decisions, we just suck. This is not a good team. We have some interesting parts. We have some pieces, but they're not meshing well into a team because the bad pieces still exist. Some of that could improve with experience. Some of that could only be improved by replacing. But buckle in. The mismanagement fuged us for years. We suck now, we're likely gonna suck next year, maybe we improve some the following if poo starts going right.

A great empty hole right through the middle of him. He can't ever kill enough or steal enough or inflict enough pain to ever fill it. What do the Panthers need? Revenge. For what? Being born.

Watch X show the fug out and be wide open all game and Bryce not be able to get it to him. Would be the biggest tragedy of the season lol

Bryce got a series and on 3rd down of that series he checked the first read and immediately hit the check down. Which had two defenders on it already. Because Bryce does this every fuging snap

Bingo. Draft RBs, have a young dog for 5 years cheap, trade his value high and draft another, using his trade to fill other holes. Defense wins championships. Running the ball guarantees control of pace, if you do it well. You don't get a winning team drafting a stud QB. You get a winning team by building a team and having a competent QB.

Not even trying to be a dick, but on Kappy's goal on Koochie for the go ahead, in terms of his positioning, where was he wrong? What should he have done, in your determination?

Forecheck needs to settle. This one and done ripping from low percentage areas needs to stop. Get a corner and work it. Need to create some pressure. And for the love of God, keep netfront clear. Defensemen looked lazy as poo that whole period.

Idk what to say here but that you're objectively wrong. I'm too lazy to go rip the replays from Twitter but nothing you said shows up on tape lol
