The Falcons after our 0-2 start:

Lol, this really seems like a dive by ATL. is there crazy prop bet out there for the Panthers +17?

Thank you Falcons for the sympathy win. We really needed this.

99 passing yards nearing the end of the 3rd quarter. I can give Bryce credit though, he's not making any mistakes to get the Falcons back in it.

Waffle House after church. I refuse to take time to prepare a Sunday brunch spread until this team turns it around.

When was the last time we faced an 0-2 FG kicker in the first half? Point being, we are up 10 and it should be 7 or 4. The guys played pretty good, but he Falcons kept stepping on rake after rake and we are only up 10.

He makes the easy ones look routine and makes the harder ones look impossible.

The Falcons are trying their best to give us this game. Will the Panthers accept or say "nah, we're good...winning's not our style."

We can't handle good fortune.

Everyone does this.

I suspected this team to look like they belong in the NFL in the home opener. It should be competitive. We will see if that translates to a win.

Ball placement is superb. no acrobatic catches required. The dude doesn't serve up hospital balls.

I posted twice in this marathon thread: Pretty spot on. I need to confess to you guys...I have a crystal ball. Nah, not really, I just read the tea leaves of the Panthers brass and go the opposite direction. It's insanely accurate.

He only had 1 incompletion last week. He's 40-43 in the past two games 10 passing TDs, 1 tuddy rushing and 0 picks. All this in 6 quarters as he was pulled at halftime last week. Two weeks in a row with QB rating north of 250.

Another stellar performance: Dude has missed 3 passes in the past two games--40 of 43.

It depends with what's on the line. If we are in contention for the #1 overall pick, nah, I can deal with one more loss.

Tampa will have the division locked up and sit their starters in the final game.... we win and it knocks us back several spots in the draft. Yay!!!!

I can have my Sundays freed up again? We're drafting a QB#1 overall in '26? We don't pick up Bryce's 5th year option? Some definite positives as the season goes down in flames.

I've already said this, we've got 3 weeks to get some wins, then it's going to be a long string of L's. After Week 5, the Saints might be only temporarily derailment of the 'L' train the rest of the season.

That sucks, but why keep bringing back a guy who has a long injury history? Being the second game, built-in excuse for a long season. Over/under until this is used as an excuse for a loss by Panthers brass--set at 1.5.

Yes, yes, tell the other team to soft play zone all game and tell Bryce the refs spotted them 21 points and that the NFL made a change calling the entire game the 4th quarter. Then, we should be just dandy!

@ForJimmy--I watched his '24 highlights and there's a lot to like. He's mobile, for certain, but it seems that's his default because he's so good at it. Lots of RPO stuff. He's slippery in the pocket, but too quick to vacate it. I saw very few pocket throws into tight windows, which is the hallmark of an elite QB, especially at the next level. Green is a playmaker, there's no denying that. I thought his arm was adequate to above average. I assumed a big QB like that would have a cannon. Ball placement was also above average. He's an intriguing prospect, but I'm not sure he's going to end up a top 10 prospect and that's where we are most certainly going to be picking. If Sellers doesn't come out, he's probably the next best dual threat QB.

Will do.

They didn't even list Arch. Unless he has a miraculous turnaround, there's 0% chance he comes out. The family won't let a Manning QB be drafted outside of the top 10 I I I need to do a deep dive on Mateer. On the surface, the little I've seen, he seems to be a Baker Mayfield clone. If that's accurate, as long as he doesn't take as long to mature personally and professionally, that may not be a bad option either.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of taking LBs in the top 10. Luke was 1:1,000,000 prospect. That's rare. If we can somehow move back into the late first round, that's usually the sweet spot for the top LBs.
