It's not going to happen, but if we're not going to make the playoffs, finishing last would be WAY better than finishing in 2nd. And before someone jumps on me, no, this has nothing to do with improving our draft position, it's solely due to the schedule next year. Give me a 4th place schedule over a 2nd place, no question about it. And again, before anyone says it's only a few games that are affected... well, we may end up missing the playoffs by 1 or 2 wins in the end, so yea, I think those 3 games against 4th place finishers instead of 2nd place, could very well make the difference between making or missing the playoffs.

I’ve been saying this all season, including after wins where I felt we won because of players making plays as opposed to the staff having a well called game. But calling out issues you see after wins just gets me called a bad fan. They both need to be replaced, but I’d keep Bryce over Canales if it was between the two.

No, but his noodle arm can't execute them at an NFL level either But that's besides the point, I've called out Canales all year for being a terrible play caller and in game decision maker and been told I'm a bad fan for doing so. He's just not a good NFL HC, the only argument to keeping him around is if there is a belief amongst coaching prospects/agents that no legit candidate would be interested in coming here after another quick HC firing, but even then, still might be worth making a change and hoping Tepper's big wallet can convince a legit HC to take the job

Seriously, all the "rigged" talk just makes people sound dumb. Beyond it just being an absurd notion in general, what incentive would the league have to rig a Panthers-Sants game? They don't care about the Bucs making the playoffs instead of us, just nonsense to think the league would even want to rig this game if it ever did such a thing.

Been saying it all year long, as much as Bryce isn't the guy, Canales is even more so not the guy. I want both replaced, but if it's one or the other, bring back Bryce and send Canales packing, he's terrible

I think the other hand had the ball under control, but since the first hand came off the ball with the entire ball touching the ground, even though I think he had it under control, I don't think it's going to stand as a catch

Cmon T-Mac, you have to get beyond the sticks there, rookie mistake

Literally punching the ball the second it hits his hands and then uses his arm to push down T-Mac's hand as he's trying to re-adjust to catch it on the bobble. It was 100% an excellent breakup by the DB and literally a 0% drop by T-Mac. If you want to blame a Panther on that play, you have to blame Bryce for throwing it behind T-Mac instead of ahead of him.

Not catching a pass is NOT the same thing as dropping it I will bet you my entire life savings that isn't ruled a drop, and you know why? Because it wasn't, it was a bad pass first and foremost, but even putting that completely aside, it was a great play by the DB to break it up, as if he hadn't punched the ball the second it touched his hands, then it would have been a TD. You telling me to be objective while saying he dropped that is downright comical.

Someone watching on TV, please go back and pause the replay where the defender hits the ball. Unfortunately that doesn't seem possible for me to do on Sunday Ticket, I can only go back to watch key plays they choose, not just rewind.

100% should have caught that? Honestly, what in the world are you smoking?!?!?! The defender punched the ball the split second it touched his hands, there isn't a player in the history of the NFL that would have been "expected" to catch that. You know sometimes it's okay to just say the defender made a great play on the ball.

I'm sure people will say I'm just blindly defending my guy, but the ball was thrown behind him and the second the ball hit his hands, the defender made a great play to break it up. If the pass was out ahead (as it should have been) it was a clear TD, but that was much more of a broken up pass by the defender than anything close to a drop.

Gren has been my comp since early in his Freshman season, it's who I've always seen when I watch him play. But I did like the comp I saw just before the draft of a V-Jax and Plaxico combination as well.

Eagles and Lions on a level below ourselves and the Cowboys?!?! Uh, what now??!?! KC being on another level below that is also interesting, but harder to fault that one when they have a worse chance at making the playoffs than either the Lions or Eagles

I think if there was one team to want to play, it would be the Seahawks and you hope Darnold playing on the road in a big game looks like the Darnold of old in those situations. Hope Horn can take away JSN from him and force Darnold to beat you elsewhere. I think that would be much better than playing a Ben Johnson coached team, who you know is going to pull stuff out in the playoffs that the other team has no way of being ready for.
