Deadskins always get voted into the pro bowl, the fact that Godfrey is a panther, and we were fuging terrible last year is impressive

Godfrey got votes b/c of a number on a stat sheet nothing more. Hall is an example of the same. Neither played like a Pro Bowler.

Wasn't it Godfrey that Peyton Hillis absolutely plowed?

I don't hold that against him.....I do hold the fact he can't make a tackle when tracking someone in open space. If Godfrey doesn't get there exactly when the ball does......he ain't stopping anyone.

so if a safety takes a bad angle on a wr its the dline fault for not getting to the qb.? if a safety allows a TE to get even with him because he doesnt turn his hips it's the dl fault? i got your logic....................:rolleyes:

proper angles and getting caught out of position has nothing to do with dl play. play your responsiblitiy and be were you supposed to be.

My logic?

I don't see very many bad angles being taken. Now I'm sure you watch everything 100 times, so you know best.

You can talk about the angles if you wish. Both our safeties play well. What I see as the problem more than anything, is the opposing qb almost always has a pocket to step up into when he throws. You can ignore the dline all you want to, but when the qb can just step up into the pocket, or side step Johnson, and then have more time to throw....well, doesn't matter how good the coverage is. Then take into consideration the Marshall was never as good as many fans made him out to be. All of our secondary guys had a down year, which, even without looking at film, that speaks of issues along the line. Then looking at the film, the issues of the line become glaring, yet you just want to ignore that, and say that our safeties suck. Yeah, you have no logic, so please, don't attempt to talk logic to me.

:rolleyes:

Why is Gamble's name get thrown in the mud now? He had some off field issues on and off over the last two years, he had to deal with Godfrey's freelancing, Marshall was on the opposite side, and CJ needs help getting pressure.

(Shaun!) Gamble is the best we have and could possible hope for at 1 for next coming season.

Gamble is the best we got.....granted, that ain't saying much and at this point there isn't even that big of a gap between Gamble/Capt. Gamble is lucky Capt is a midget.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
