cranky

Yes, They even had a 50 yard kickoff return called back because of illegal formation. The defense stands out because of the total numbers but it was everyone and always at the absolute worse time

lol...can't disagree with that rather elegant discription.

We had 8 and the Saints had 8. But yeah, the defense couldn't stop them after the first quarter even with having them at 3rd and long multiple times ( they punted twice in the first quarter and never had to punt again).

When you blitz and leave the middle of the field completly wide open every time, it will fail every time. Don't know why he continued to call that blitz when it continously never worked.

Yes and yes but the Saints punted twice in the 1st quarter and then never had to punt again and they gave up 10 points in the fourth quarter. That with Canales calling a terrible game cost them.

And while they were flag happy, it only resulted in one 1st down for the Panthers.

I agree. That flag on Ekwonu when all he did was push Jordan was a joke.

I'm just illustrating how bad the penalties were against the Saints compared to the last two wins. Not cherry picking

D Brown had a roughing penalty 15 yards Horn had defensive holding giving them a first down There was a sack negated because of hands to the face or defensive holding - I can't remeber. Ransom has a personal foul moving the game winning TD from a 62 yard attempt to a 46 yard attempt. Juat way too many penalties at terrible times.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Against the Rams, the defense had 1 penalty for 5 yards resulting in 1 first down all game. Against the Falcons, the defenseive penalties came to 24 yards and 2 first downs.

The Panthers' defensive penalties accounted for 78 yards and 6 1st downs of the Saints total offense Sunday. For comparisons, the Saints rushed for 81 yards picking up 6 1st downs. So the defensive penalities contributed to the Saints offense as much as their own rushing game. You can't win games like that.

Except with Bryce. Chris doesn't like him. Even when they do well, he finds faults with him.

lol...haters gonna hate: That sack didn't lose the game but saying that was on BY is ridiculous. Look at the bottom left on the images. The time from the snap to when Bryce is sacked is 2 seconds at the most. And it was on his blind side. Saying that sack was on him and just showing your hate.

I saw enough after last year

Well there you go!

Against the Saints, Mayfield hit Egbuka in the end zone, but Egbuka dropped it—costing the Bucs six points. They ended up losing by four. Against the Falcons, Mooney fumbled with six Bucs around him, yet somehow he still came up with the football. Later, Cousins fumbled and apparently had a hand on the ball along with a Bucs defender. The refs awarded possession back to Atlanta. Pitts caught a TD with part of his body clearly landing out of bounds. Replays looked like his elbow was either down before or at the same his butt hit, but somehow the Falcons still got the touchdown. Either the Football Gods are smiling down on the Panthers, or the Bucs have seriously pissed them off. Either way, I’ll take it.

Couldn't you find a play in every game with every QB were they got credit for a TD or some yardage but it wasn't really because of anything special they did. Tha's just part of the game. And if you are going to say Young doesn't deserve credit for the TD, then couldn't you make the same claim with Chuba. I mean all Chuba did was run in a straight line. He didn't juke anyone or break tackles - just ran straight to the end zone. He was able to because of great execution: the pass was good and his blockers all hit their man allowing him to go in untouched. So does he really deserve credit it for the TD. Again, I'm not trying to be argumentative. It just seems Young is held to a diffrent standard than other young QBs.

Not trying to be argumentative but I'm not sure what else Bryce could have done in the Rams game to have been better. He completed 75% of his passes, threw for 3 TD's, was 46% on 3rd down conversions, averaged a little over 8 yards a pass and had a 147 passer rating. I mean he can only work with what he is given and I thought he did well with those 20 possesions. And I'm not sure those 4th down plays were called because the offense wasn't working. Like I pointed out above, they were converting over 46% on 3rd downs and they only punted 3 times on 8 positions. I would guess those 4th downs were because Canales knew they couldn't beat the Rams without the extra possessions.

I think he's just gun shy. The man has been brutalized over the past couple of years, both locally and nationally. I think he's just very carefull about what he says now.

Your missing the real stat. Shough is 6.5" - Bryce is 5'10". That's all you need to know.

Don't forget about Hunt.

Nah, they don't need to do that. They just pay lobbyist and politicians to write the laws they want and then they use media (Fakebook, X, TikTok, Fox News, NY Times, etc) to keep us unwashed masses fighting between ourselves over matters that really don't matter instead of the things that do.

Says the person who calls those who he disagrees with "stupid"

It's funny. I avoid reddit and X because of how toxic the users are - and yet I keep coming back here.
