Headed to OT. The refs are already strategizing how they can hand Denver the win.

I'm no fan of Nix but that was a real nice throw and catch. Also did he really get injured by the damn camera equipment?

Josh Allen in the playoffs... Luckily he gets to go home to Hailee Steinfeld. Still a blessed man.

Man what a choke job by the Bills so far.

Wow that's a killer fumble. Big oof.

Yeah that was a bad drop. Interesting seeing it live because with the way folks talk here you would think no other teams have to overcome that sort of thing.

Sean Payton smug ass held to 3 nice

You mean who does David Tepper want.

Out here wearing Bills gear? Cmon guy.

The Raiders as an organization are certainly dysfunctional to say the least but it sounds like what ultimately got Pete Carroll canned (blind loyalty to his favorites) are the same things that led the Seahawks to say thanks but no thanks after seeing that for years. As for Evero I haven't seen anything from him that would indicate he is a great evaluator of talent. Without that he's doomed in LV.

Well. Unfortunately the Cam Newton era put a spotlight on some very ugly folks. We'll leave it at that. Athlete salaries especially for certain skill positions have gotten absurd to say the least and we live in heightened times of awareness as a society so general criticism will always be present. For me it boils down to what I'm seeing and hearing with my own eyes and ears. If the QB is pulling his weight and even doing some of the heavy lifting for those around him then he will receive the benefit of the doubt so long as he is holding up his end of the bargain. And all QB's even the really good ones are going to have some lesser games compared to others. But where we are now is basically just being thrilled when our guy can do the most basic things on a football field. And there are people who can't understand why dialogue is not getting any better. If it were not so absurd it would be quite amusing.

Years ago I would encounter fans in public who grumbled about Cam Newton's personality. Now ten years later you still can't go anywhere online where Cam Newton is mentioned or a topic of discussion and not see multiple comments about him not diving on a fumble in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately people like that exist.

We had a number of fans here who couldn't wait to get Cam Newton out the door so I don't see it as being far fetched there are some Ravens fans that aren't enamored with Lamar Jackson. As it is Lamar has squarely placed the burden of the entire franchise on himself now with Harbaugh out as he receives minute by minute updates from the Ravens org about their head coaching search. Good luck with that.

I think Burns was already slowly inching one foot out the door with the contract negotiations and then we traded a fortune for Bryce Young Brian and the rest of the team finally got an in person look at him in camp and he was like yeah get me out of here.

Generally the only people going out of their way to loudly point out how passing yards are down are Bryce Young apologists here. Yes the yardage numbers for passing offenses may be lower in recent seasons at varying levels compared to 5 or 10 years ago but there were 6 QB's with 4k passing yards this season and there were two with over 3,900. The dialogue here is always revolving around spinning the fact that Bryce Young moves the ball through the air at a historically low rate. Only those people think it has to be that way.

"Who cares about yards?" Apparently not us with our 27th passing offense.

I don't know why people are getting themselves worked up about Burns anymore. For all the things we said about him we knew he was still talented. He's going to have highs and lows with the Giants just like he had here. It's best to just turn the page. If we hadn't exhausted so many resources to both acquire Bryce Young and surround him with the most expensive OL in the league and back to back first round picks on WR including one in the top ten we could already be talking about how good our young pass rushers and linebackers look and forget about Brian Burns.

I hate the 49ers so much I'll even pull for Darnold and the Seahawks.

I've been critical of him but it certainly seems Evero is respected around the league. What a Panthers thing it would be if he goes on to be a solid head coach and Canales flounders.

Just so everyone is clear. Regardless of where you may fall in the conversation. It has always been this way with every Panthers starting QB. And it will continue on with the one after and the one after that. Some of it is just the nature of the internet. Some of it is due to the fact that we have generally had such small windows of actual franchise QB level play as a sports team so as the years go on it just becomes more and more contentious. Still. The majority of people here engaging want the same goal. To win a Super Bowl. Everything in between will eventually result in endless pissing matches. That's sports fandom. It just is what it is. Anyone that is overwhelmed by that is encouraged to unplug for the sake of their own sanity and those around them. /PSA.

Practice what you preach.

"We actually need more team propagandists in the media" The last thing the decision makers of this franchise need is more people heaping unearned praise onto them 24/7. That's how you end up being irrelevant for a decade. Which we just did. How about let these folks actually prove any level of consistency.

Ladies and gentlemen. Bryce Young's "ceiling".

The Hornets finally got a solid showing from the combo of the big three and blew out the Lakers in LA. Can't stand those MFers. That is a sight to behold. If they can ever find their footing in the consistency department maybe there is hope for the future.
