They just showed it. Nope.

OMG. What a brutal game for the kickers.

So we are cutting into the game for a fuging ridiculous Olympics plug. GFY NBC

You mean the guy that he supposedly tried to oust? I doubt it. Also, I am pretty sure Tomlin will get a HC job very quickly, should he want one.

Ravens kind of fumbling this game away.

No, I think as @Jon Snow stated, this is to get some action on Carolina.

He is very good but unless he is an elite EDGE, trading up to where he is currently projected to go is extremely unwise.

Well, technically it's QB but I do agree an elite pass rusher is absolutely critical. We cannot keep being one of the worst pass rush teams in the NFL.

He will be long gone. Also not a player that is wise to trade up for.

Jones can be jettisoned to save money but we can't clear out the entire room without doing something to bolster it. IMO, we lack any starting caliber EDGE players. Wonnum, Jones, Umanmielen and Scourton are all rotational guys. The young guys could develop, so we should keep them regularly involved.

Yeah and you have to consider that although we have been a wild ride for oddsmakers, we are unquestionably the worst team in the NFL playoffs. The Rams are arguably a SB favorite. I don't think that should be a surprise. They were a -9.5 against us in Week 13.

Just be aware that the overwhelming majority of our EDGE group is worse than him.

He technically has a higher ceiling than Scourton, IMO. It's just a matter of him realizing it. We need him to develop because our EDGE group is probably the worst in the NFL at the moment. They produced a whopping 11.5 sacks as an entire unit.

Well they are scoring 36.8 PPG since we played them and we are scoring 15.25 PPG. I think that could be why.

Wonnum is a FA. TBD if he is even back.

Well, we are limping in at 1-3 since we beat them and have been averaging 15.25/PPG. That is the best offense in the NFL and we are playing like the worst.

I am a little surprised it wasn't more.

This is going about how I expected.

That's a very generous line, IMO.

Lol. Goddamn that is cold.

I don't think McVay will be underprepared again. I do expect the Panthers to be EXTREMELY underprepared by Canales. I would say there is about a 10% chance we win this game. It's not that we aren't capable, it's that the Rams won't be looking past us this time. It's going to be coaching staff versus coaching staff and their advantage will be one of the biggest we could possibly face.

QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board. ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig. CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.

History has a funny way of showing who Darnold is. They are winning in spite of him down the stretch and not because of it. It's the same meltdown he had last year in similar situations. You will see. For Bryce, I hope we don't have to watch him fail for another full season. I don't think Panthers fans deserve to watch bottom tier QB play every Sunday. We have had three seasons of it.

Great, a much worse Ian Thomas. All the more reason to get rid of him.

Cool. Make it on the PS.
