Is there another team that can match the Panthers intensely physical style of play. I think Seattle define can/did.

I feel one of thd biggest reasons we beat the Seahawks this season and have stood toe to toe in our recent games is the fact that when Seattle comes out and punches us in the mouth the Panthers come back as hard or harder, and Seattle is not used to that.

I think the fact that the Panthers excell in smash mouth, and physical play is going to win alot of games for us going forward.

Not sure. But that doesn't necessarily equate to wins.. in years past we've been a tough, smash mouth team too..  that never seemed to pull it through though.. we were similar to the seahawks this season..with the 4th quarter problems and not finishing games. 

 

This year, our execution has been huge.

I included the Rams because of Gurley and the D.  Gurley is pretty much as smash mouth as it gets with 30 carries last week (in a loss).  FIsher's teams are always tough and borderline dirty.  Cincy was just a possible because I haven't personally seen much of them but if Jeremy Hill hits a stride they can be in the conversation.

Good point.  I think CLG is right,  it doesn't necessarily equate wins but can definitely factor in.  Example? Dolphins.  Everyone knows that they have talent but were sucking,  with Dan Campbell bringing more physicality,  they looked the best they have this season.

I think the Jets probably.  Wouldn't say Rams or Cincy.  Cincy is a good team no doubt, wouldn't call them as tough as us.  Same thing with the Rams, they got some good defensive players...doesn't make them as smash mouth as us. 

this. Rams tried to play that tough man game with us when we played them last and they lost... Badly.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
