Might as well let him be the commander of our tanking efforts next year to get the number one pick in 2025. I don't think we have to worry about Bryce accidentally winning us games

I Believe!!!.... That he is possibly worse than pickles. Let that sink in...

You do realize that I would say easily 30% of the points we allowed this year were either pick/fumble 6s from Bryce or terrible turnovers by the offense that set the opposing teams offense up in the red zone. Then think about all of the three and outs our offense had that gave the ball to the other team at about midfield... I think our defense was bad in 4, maybe 5 games, this year and was the only reason we won or were close in any other games...

Is somebody seriously complaining about Raanta for tonight's game? Dude kept us in it. At the end of the day, if we said Raanta gave up 1 goal after OT, we would gladly take that.

Honestly, I think Tomlin is probably the best motivating coach there is in the NFL. Xs and Os, not as much... That being said, I'm pretty sure Tepper was one of the biggest haters of Tomlin when he was part of the Steelers. There is a 0% chance we would ever have Tomlin coach us while Tepper is here

I honestly think GM will be the bigger issue than HC. We have to find a GM that knows how to scout talent, win trades, and knows how to negotiate contracts/not overpay.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Drury's lack of awareness to cover his guy open in the middle of the ice is far worse. Yes, TDA could have done better with the board battling, but there is no excuse for Drury to just be meandering on the boards behind the caps board player when the Caps player is clearly going to be the first one to the puck...

That's fine if raanta struggles early on. The thing we absolutely cannot afford is Pyotr getting some type of common injury (i.e. muscle strain or groin injury) because we are afraid of playing raanta and putting Pyotr in a spot he isn't used to (starting the second game of a b2b)

Yeah, there is pretty much no point in trading him because nobody wants him. I agree - might as well keep him in case one of our defensemen get injured

Can't play Pyotr every games unless you want to completely wear him out... We just need to execute on offense and defense and not put Raanta in a position where he needs to stand on his head or face a lot of odd man breaks

I don't know about that. Philly has looked like crap the past month and is fresh off a home loss to the Cardinals.

I am kind of torn. I think I hate the bucs the least right now between them, the falcons, and the saints. If us beating the bucs means that the falcons or saints go, then I won't be happy

It is very easy to make up what happened when you are telling your side of the story... Still doesn't excuse the dumb poo Tepper did, but I wouldn't be surprised if this guy heckled Tepper in some way. But clearly Tepper has the mental toughness of a 5-year-old based on his response...

This is the upward trajectory of Bryce's NFL career

Of course they like them. Most of them realize they wouldn't have a job in the NFL without either of them...

I think it's this and the fact that they are actually getting people in front of the net. I don't know how many times last year (especially the playoffs) I would see us have a PP and literally nobody standing in front of the net. We need that person there to screen the goalie for our snipers.

I love this idea

As much as I like penix, his o line has been unreal good for him this year. I'm curious to see how he does under pressure. Not to knock on him, because I like him more than Bryce pre-draft last year, but I have some similar worries for him that I did Bryce

poo on Jeff Otah all we want, but the dude was a dominant run blocker for us at RT for his prime. As fans, we need to realize we are pretty much running the complete opposite scheme that we did last year and are asking a dominant run blocking tackle to be a finesse, West Coast pass blocking tackle... In no way is it Ickys fault this scheme sucks for him... We either have to go to a more run focused, play action playbook on offense (this would immensely help Bryce in my opinion also) or force icky to play guard/trade him. It's honestly that simple

We could honestly play both divisions of the ACC and struggle to have a winning record... That is literally how bad we are

What if he threw his beer at a black person (or any minority for that matter). Would that constitute racism?

Such a weird reaction by Tepper. Did the fan say something to him (if so, awesome - hopefully he called him a cuck like the rest of us would)? If not, just weird to do what he did. Regardless, punish the hell out of him NFL and force him to sell the team.

Icky never had a chance to succeed at LT in this system. He is a power run blocker being asked to be a finesse pass blocker. One of 2 things need to happen - 1) ditch the system for a more run balanced, play action system; 2) move Icky to guard.

Honestly, I am glad DJ Moore is enjoying having a halfway competent QB that can actually remotely throw a deep ball throwing to him. I miss him, but he deserves better than this dumpster franchise (as did CMC). Honestly, Brown and Luvu deserve to play for a better team also.

Since we actually have our first round draft pick in 2025, I am sure we will dick around and accidentally win 5 or 6 games and end up picking 8th or 9th again... It's the Panthers way
