But we got to draft a guy we thought the Cowboys wanted! Ha Ha, Jerry Jones. Go suck an egg! Of course, we are like the only team in the league that is stupid enough to use high picks on running backs anymore. But we got him, and to top it off he was injured, we knew he wasn't able to play, and we took him anyway. How do you like them apples, Jerry Jones?
It is just so hard to see why we have such a terrible roster.

Most of us here could give decent to pretty good analysis of the Panthers. Our knowledge of most other teams however would be limited to stuff we've heard from various sources (and not especially reliable).
It's why I prefer local beat writers to national guys. They're not as well known and might not have had football careers, but they're only trying to cover a single team.
In-depth knowledge of 32 teams at once would be an extremely difficult thing to maintain.
Many years back I heard Colin Cowherd arguing whether or not Mario Williams was worthy of being the #1 pick in that year's upcoming draft. His take was he didn't know how good he might really be, because Williams played in the ACC, and got his stats by playing against the Georgia Techs and NC States of college football.
The local guys don't get the exposure though, they don't have the platform. When the day comes, however far down the line, when we are good again, it will be met with disbelief and disdain.

You know it's bad when we are wondering if Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson might be available next year. The horrifying part is they would be tremendously better options than putting Bust Young on the field again.

True that not everything was Young's fault.
Also true that Young isn't very good.
So, there is a tendency to be a bit of an echo chamber here. The easy national narrative that we did Bust Young wrong is going to come right back into focus as this season goes on. As I write out this reply, the pregame folks on NBC are having a hearty laugh while showing a sign at the Bears game today, and I think Garrett mentions that the Bears get the 2nd round pick this year too. Har har.
We are in a poo situation. Only 12 more losses to go.

If bryce steps back on that field I'm done this year and so is majority of the fanbase.
Why anybody dense enough to think the overall fans and probably the players want to go back to last year and the first 2 games of this season is beyond me.
Lastly, there were never any insane expectations set on Dalton to act like it was some sort of honeymoon. We weren't even a high school offense with bryce out there. The graph at the beginning of the game said it all.
I have no idea how they justify putting Bust Young back on the field. Even in an injury situation. He should be #3 right now.
There was a tiny bit of expectations about Dalton after the Raiders game. The win felt good, so there's that, but there was a little bit of maybe they can win 6 or so more games. It wasn't just here though.

That’s one reason I called it worse. They made the playoffs last year. And are now 1-4 like us. And talking about benching their QB.
The other is everything they gave up for Watson. People calling the Bryce trade the worst in history, just look up the Wiki page for the Watson trade. Holy crap.
Absolutely, and honestly Watson played a minimal role in them making the playoffs last year. We dodged a bullet on that, but we were ready, willing and eager to be the butt of that joke as well, until it moved to the 100% guarantee.

Dalton was not the main problem today. Poor game planning, poor/no adjustments, shoddy defense and injuries. Dalton didn't have a stellar day, but he is way down the list of reasons for today's failure.
That is very fair. I'm not trying to sound negative on Dalton, I do think he is washed at this point, and he didn't really elevate any of the team to overcome or mitigate some of those negatives either.

The Browns have been to the playoffs more recently.

Welp, that was a fun 3 weeks. We'll always have the Raiders game and the high that ensued afterwards. Time to hear the stans all call for Bryce to be back next week.
Brian St. Pierre doing anything? Bust Young doesn't need to be out there ever again. The only *good* that will come from him is losing enough to get the #1 pick again. Dalton might still have a win or 2 in him.

Offense - starting QB, WR1, RB, Center all free agents. Thielen will be on his last year. XL looks promising but after that there's nobody at WR. Need upgrade at TE also.
Defense has Horn and uhh.... ????? This team needs a LOT
I would tend to agree. The awesome part is really, of the 3 premium positions, QB, LT and pass rusher, we have no standouts.
-
Is there a player/position on the team that should not be considered for an upgrade? Maybe guard? I guess we can hang our hat on that spot.
-
Atlanta hasn't had a pass rush in a long time. Beasley had 1 really good year, their Superbowl run I think. Otherwise..nothing.

I mean we were a disaster at that point. Nothing about that was surprising. If you had dropped Mayfield into this team, it would be a vastly different result.
Probably so. He was completely ineffective though. Maybe it was still something from the shoulder injury. Does not matter at all now. I remember talking to a friend that offseason, and since all the speculation was he was coming here, I said he would instantly be the 3rd best Panthers qb ever. Ironically, we have seen much worse now.

That last TD notwithstanding, I would say Mayfield is actually more like Dalton than Cousins.
I really thought Mayfield would work out here. I guess whatever bad mojo is here was too much to overcome.

Their throwbacks are kinda nice actually. We should wear our old logo sometimes
RE: our uniforms.
I agree. But I also think it is past time for a redesign, and then we would have a real throwback. The creamsicle Bucs uniforms were a joke. Now they are a retro treat.
-
Falcons are wearing their throwbacks tonight. I guess that explains the "vintage" appearance of their field logo and end zones.
I shouldn't laugh. It took them 50 years to have back-to-back winning seasons. Here we are with the count already up to 30 seasons.

I hate them equally but kind have a soft spot for both QBs
I don't like the Bucs. But I don't hate them either. They are a very good road game to attend. I have to admire them for being a shitty franchise like we are, but they have overcome it and won 2 Superbowls now. So maybe there is hope for us still.

I hate Atlanta. So I will watch just to see them lose.

The only way this team is making the playoffs is if our 3 division rivals suffer tragic ends to their season and we win by default. Just play the games, do the best they can and move forward next offseason.
-
Will Levis has a mayo endorsement deal? Good for him. NFL probably not going to work out for him anyway.

both fox and rivera could go 0-16, and still not put bryce on the field.
Hell, we saw Fox go get some dope sitting on the couch instead, and then get snappy about it.

The absolute worst will be having to turn back to Bust Young if there is an injury. How can he be pushed back out there after today's performance? Cut bait.
Other games 10/6

I like Belichick as part of the Manningcast. He is kind of the cranky old dude with the occasional zinger, like commenting on the Colts piping in noise at the RCA Dome.
