Looks like business as usual for the Falcons.

Bills defense is getting worked. This same Falcons team looked horrific against us in Carolina. There's a lesson in this for Panthers fans who are feeling themselves right now. You can't overfixate on single games. We got a road game coming up with a desperate team too. Take it one week at a time.

We're currently averaging 22 PPG for the season. The run game has been a huge part of that in a historical context. As far as the passing game we are 27th in passing yards per game. Last year we were 30th. The year before that in Bryce's rookie season we were 32 out of 32. We've seen with our own eyes that we have young receivers capable of making the big plays now. The weapons are there. They might not be perfect but they are there that shouldn't be under dispute. Sooner or later we're going to have to be able to open up the passing game to win games and that will require Bryce Young to buck the trend of low passing output that has been consistent much more often than not across the 35 career games he's played in.

When Bryce plays well he has help when Bryce plays poorly and turns the ball over everyone around him is a bum. Constantly diminishing 52 other guys to prop up 1 guy only holds up when that guy can take over games. Rookie of the year? MVP? That will get you that kind of clout. Bryce isn't even in the same universe as that.

I see some folks are already back to diminishing the parts around him. But if someone diminishes Bryce it's a serious problem and maybe they'll even try to fight you.

I'd like to say there's no way we could see Corbett at center again while Mays has held things down but unfortunately I cannot put anything past my Panthers.

We had discussions about sustainability after the shutout win against the Falcons and we know how the following matchup went. We need to see this team and more specifically Bryce Young on the road before making any determinations.

It's a marathon not a sprint. I would think Panthers fans would have learned by now not to tempt fate making conclusions like this before we're even halfway through the season. Let it play out folks.

He just gets satisfaction from being an unwavering sycophant like he's going to get an unknown reward after it's all said and done. He went off the deep end the same way over Teddy Bridgewater.

There are things that some folks will never see eye to eye on regarding our starting QB. It just is what is. But can we all agree that the argument that Bryce Young has no weapons has been completely debunked?

Not denying that although I would say that apsect was significantly more prevalent after the elbow surgery. He wasn't the same after.

Question of sustainability remains. We have to wait and see.

If the team is to emerge from the cellar in our very diminished division compared to a decade ago we need to drastically improve our putrid record on the road. That's the true test from here on out.

There can be multiple truths. We can enjoy the win but also acknowledge the elephant in the room. Just the nature of being a Carolina Panthers fan.

Man we better play like this on the road I'm tired of walking into a damn buzzsaw outside of BOA.

Could be. I just know it's really deflating when we're driving the ball and the run game is working and we need at least a positive pass play and that's the result. But he bounced back from some of that today so that's at least a positive. Although he's got a ton of work to do along with the rest of the team on the road though. That will be the real test IMO. To say it's been bad would be an understatement.

It's about damn time we had promising depth at the TE position.

Mac Jones is booty cheeks.

Yup that's the rub. Stay tuned.

It should be Rico's job for the foreseeable future. Don't fix what isn't broken. Revisit later in the season.

It's a really nice look. But truly IDGAF as long as they win.

I'm definitely glad we went with developing our own young kicker instead of trying to sign another teams discarded guy again.

Agreed he is playing better and taking what the defense is giving him and I give him credit for that and the plays he made as I've said this afternoon already. As far as becoming a franchise QB to the point we don't need to consider the position a need going forward. That isn't going to happen for me with anything less than him taking over games throughout the season with his arm. Until I see that he is a game manager at best. And if that is what he remains and some people think that's enough to give him an extension I would say that is the worst case scenario of purgatory. Just me being honest.

Look. Jake after the surgery yeah no argument. Before though? Let's not get carried away. He's up there with Cam no doubt.
