Trap game


Hotsauce

Recommended Posts

Yep, it's the thread everybody loves to hate. 

But I woke up this morning and this was on my mind. Too much going "wrong" with Colts. And Panthers are on a "hot streak".  

Colts should be a good team this year, and they haven't performed.

I was a little irked by the fact that the guys were celebrating in the locker room after the Eagles victory.  I liked the somber Panthers attitude they had with mild celebrating after the Seahawks game.

Am I wrong?  God I hope so, but something just doesn't feel right to me about this matchup.

Ohh, and I am attending the game, which is the first game for me this season.  We are 6-0 when I watch the game from the couch.

On a serious note, I think this Panthers team simply forgot how to lose.. We win against a Saints offense that had a 92% completion of offensive passes, come back down by 13 pts ag literally the hardest arena in all of sports to win at (the Clink) we then beat a pretty decent Eagles team by double digits after our QB throws three interceptions, all three of which resulted in pretty good field position for the Eagles btw.

I really think this team doesnt even know how to lose anymore. Not many teams can still win by double digits when you throw three picks.

You should have stuck with your first comment and then just dropped the mike.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
