As a Panthers fan, you have no idea how encouraging it is to hear Derrik talk about Bryce Young's progress.

The way Brian Flores forces the offense into very limited responses reminds me of the way Heupel used to run the Veer and Shoot at Tennessee. In the way that it forces the defense into a very narrow scope of response

Cam did complete 13 passes in a row in the second half. Which was a bright spot considering how terrible the weather was. Narrative would’ve been completely different if he didn’t make that interception, cause he did lead three straight 70 yard drives in a row. Just a young QB with two unfortunate mistakes.

The way Ive been describeing the Flores scheme since he came to Minnesota in 2023 is his defense plays like how a Madden pro plays defense in the game. With disengage blitzes and essentially glitching out the offensive line and making the QB see ghosts when they only bring 3 or 4. Its so fun to watch. I like calling it the "Purple Haze" Defense.

I loved Eric Wilson on the Packers, happy to see him get his flowers and ball out… even if it’s on a rival team lol.

I need the TAFS social manager to drop the link to Mays’ polo sweater. Don’t make me start a channel in the Discord 👀

The other knock-on effect of the Flores defense is that they can get guys on contracts cheaper. Eric Wilson got a 3 year contract extension this offseason with $12.5M guaranteed due in large part because the league either doubts the player is that good or chalks up their success to the Flores scheme. The Vikings got a 10-25% discount on high-end production due to the Flores effect.

Bucs couldn’t even stop the four man rush, and had a lot of penalties that nullified big plays. The O line and play calling needs to improve.

I’m concerned the Panthers injuries this year are giving them an excuse to keep Evero when he should have been let go.   At least Bryce is playing a lot better so far

Hot take: Rams shouldn’t have traded JV8 for stat-padder/IR-specialist Myles Garrett.

The commentary on Giants/Titans made it sound like the weather was getting worse as the game went on, not better. Dunno if it looked diff on the all 22 or whatnot, but based on commentary i assumed it was just desperation from the Titans more than anything.

Also saying that the Giant would be a "Frisky 7 win team with Dart" is insane when we are going to be a frisky 7 win team with Winston/9.

Saying we don't know anything about Harbaugh is also crazy. He is clearly not going to accept losing a season, which for a team that in the last decade had a Head Coach who gave up and just ran sneaks with his offense during a game, is an important culture change. I'm very sure when we get to the end of the year its gonna be everyone going "Hey this Giants team somehow won 7-8 games with no QB and without one of their best defensive players.... They are looking interesting for next year"

Kyler looks absolutely cooked

The craziest thing with the Titans is how freaking good that line has been in pass pro this year. its crazy that its actually working so dang well. which is an even bigger indictment on Ward cause his oline is doing their job and the WR are for the most part getting open.

JJ is starting by week 5.  What are we doing?  Winston is cooked.  Two options, play Winston and lose or play McCarthy and possibly get lucky that he isn't as bad as the media have made him out to be

The QB market doesn't make sense because it seems like there is a shortage of good QBs but an inability to identify good QBs unless they do it for three seasons, and then you worry about injuries or age.

Did Chiefs-Dolphins discussion just get forgotten this week?

Buccaneers do not run an actual, nfl offense
