The Defense, O line,Dowdle and kicker won the game for us yesterday. Everyone else was a spectator. The way Dowdle is playing, ANY play call would have worked. Play calling wouldn’t have mattered.

I’d put Jackson as a solid B player. As a whole, Panthers have one of the best secondaries in the league. He gets burned, but rarely roasted. He’s almost never completely out of position but just lacks the elite physical traits of JC. Panthers still struggle getting to the QB. Receivers will eventually get open, it’s just going to happen, and QBs know better than to throw at JC on a scramble drill. From where the D was last season, the level of play right now is a minor miracle.

Best offseason since 2003, and it’s not even close… but it’s still not close to 2003.

Run Rico, run. As completely nuts as it is, this team is not out of playoff contention. Do I think they make it? I give them no better than a 10% chance. Rico is a warrior and has the heart of a lion. Locker room chemistry is a big deal and this team is staring 6 wins in the face with 7 games to go.

It feels very foreign to be playing relevant games in November.

Edelman with his In living color shirt self. Stay in your lane. You were only relevant because you played with the GOAT.

I’m so damn happy. F those mf-ers. Eat poo halftime show.

Aaaaaaand here it comes

Vegas is busting out retirement plans and college funds on this one.

Alright Horn, it’s on you homie.

F it. I’m still ok with it. Like Rico needs more motivation.

It’s nice having rico and Brown playing at an all pro level today

Lion playing with food? You could tell they came up with that before the segment aired after hearing Strahan’s reply. Yeah, f those mf-ers. Get another 2 hundy, Rico.

There is good talent on this team

This pass rush is TRASH

They also tend to be completely pathological liars/sociopaths. Dating one will make you age in dog years.

So you’re saying we could have had our best RB tee off on them instead of gifting them the opportunity for their RB to run roughshod on us? Sorcery!

Last Sunday our boys brought a big bag of iron pyrite to the cash window, and were aggressively escorted off the property by grown ass men. I expect no different against GB.

By a large margin, coaching is this team’s biggest weakness. It’s not QB, which is a big deal, but not worse than coach. Canales has shown ZERO aptitude/desire to change strategy when his first punch is rendered useless. He must HATE running the ball successfully because I have no other explanation. EVERY TIME, When the Panthers are getting scorched, it’s like he wants to then highlight the air raid offense that the Panthers clearly don’t have in an effort to catch up. It’s exactly the opposite of what a normal OC would do. For 3 games in a row, no defense has an answer for Rico. The adjustment was so damn obvious. You’ve got your washed up backup QB playing behind an injured line and he’s giving the game away to a very well rested and aggressive defense. You’ve got an injured RB who isn’t getting it done. You’ve got another RB who looks unstoppable…. So you pass more and then go with the injured guy to tote the rock? It’s complete malpractice.

And I took the bait, despite what my more sensible me was screaming. I saw what he did in ATL, and really thought we had something. alas, I have come to accept that he is what he is. An undersized dude who is more durable than I gave him credit for. He comes across as an intelligent guy who has gradually gained knowledge of the Xs and Os of the position. He does come up clutch in big moments but he lacks the physical strength to play in the NFL, and has not done a damn thing in his tenure here to prove otherwise. which makes me question his DAWG, sadly.

Absolutely, but just think about the 52 other players who went out there to risk it all for a coach who clearly doesn’t respect them. Giving Chuba more snaps over Rico last week, he got away with since they at least won the game, but trying that ish again today was a big F you to the rest of the team. Hell of a thing being injured for rest of the season to a coach that deliberately set the team up to fail.

Could you imagine playing your way in to a season/career ending injury for a coach who obviously favored a player over the team?

Agreed 100 percent. Some coaches have that in them. Most don’t. Ours most certainly, does not.

His players have no respect for him, and frankly, trotting out Chuba over Dowdle shows that he has 0 respect for them as well. If it is obvious that he’s putting a player above the good of the team, then he doesn’t deserve their full effort. He’s certainly not giving his.

Not many coaches have that inner Belicheck, Saban and Harbaugh. Most coaches inevitably will have a sense of loyalty to players who have weathered the hard times, hence the expiration date they all, except a select few, have. DC just don’t have what it takes.
