Speaker 1 (00:03):
Now to Chim Zok with the Panthers postgame show exclusively
on the Carolina Panthers Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Network, testing testing, what do you think? Okay, here we go,
all right.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
All right, here we go indicative of how the day
is gone.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
This is this is afropop, right, how the day is
gone is the way we start our show here down
in the North Loune.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
All right, forty to nine, the final here at Bank
of America Stadium, Mike p Chico, Jim Zoke joining us.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Here in just a minute.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Eugene Robinson is here alongside. Tough, tough day here for
the Carolina Panthers. And I think even though Bryce Young
wasn't gonna be the starting quarterback, I think I still
think the way the team had played the last four weeks,
there was still, you know, an expectation that maybe the
running game could get things going. But everything that could
go wrong, and literally everything that could go wrong today

(01:05):
has gone wrong wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
There was so much high expectations, and particularly from me,
because I was thinking the way our defense has been
playing lately, I thought that we may be able to
stop the run or at least contain the run. Cookers
and he's great. I thought that we may be able
to get some pressure on the quarterback. I thought that
our secondary would be able to come through and we
may be able to steal, maybe interception or fumble something

(01:28):
of that nature. I thought we would be able to
even score points and put some points on the board
with the running game. None of that materialized, and it
was all due in part because I thought the Buffalo
Bill's got to give him credit, their defense played an incredible,
incredible game. They were just absolutely ubiquitous. Those guys were everywhere.

(01:50):
And then offensively, you know, look, I gotta get credit
to Cook that they balled out. They absolutely ran the
ball and ran the ball so well that it didn't
it didn't matter what we did. It didn't matter what
defense we called at all, because whether it was a pitch,
whether it was a zoul stretch, whether it was the
powers or the counters they were doing, it didn't matter.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
They were getting seven, eight, ten yards a clip.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
And even though he had that sixty four yard run,
he still would have run for basically over one hundred
and fifty yards without that.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And eleven point four yards per carry gym. I mean,
that's just insane.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
Ah, here we go. There were so many things. The
turnovers were huge in the way that they happened, obviously,
and even just before the half in what was a
closer game. Just the lack of awareness with the sack,
not like without a time out, throw the ball out
of the house just to preserve at that moment. What
isn't going to make a difference in the end a
field goal at that time, but just you want to

(02:49):
play smart football, right, And that was kind of the
difference to me, Eugene, was that you know there's going
to be turnovers. Things happened from time to time, but man,
it was just not what we thought we were going
to see from a professional like Andy Dalton, because he's
been so good through the years, absolutely and even at
his worst he's been just kind of mid. This was
a bad game. He had some really bad moments throughout

(03:10):
the course of this game.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Let's go right back to the end of the half,
or we were moving the ball looking like we're gonna
go ahead and score or at least get three points
out of the out of that effort. And when you
as a quarterback, I know, because Andy Dalton is so experienced,
I know as a quarterback, he's sitting back there going,
you know what, Hey, if nothing materializes, I'm gonna throw
the ball in the back of the end zone.

Speaker 8 (03:32):
Right.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
He has to be saying that to himself because he's
a quarterback. He's the guy who knows who's gonna take
a charge. Because if you take a sack, now you
got to rest the special teams on the field to
try to kick a field goal. It's just too much stuff.
And so when he took the sack, I was dumbfounded.
I was sitting back to this, that.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Doesn't seem right experience.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
I said, yeah, it didn't make any sense to me
because I know as a safety, I know I'm gonna
be telling my guys, hey, look, if we can get
a sack, we can.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Get a sack, but hey, be prepared.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
You gonna throw the ball in the back of the
year's old to get rid of the ball, sink and
save time, So be prepared for that. And none of
that happened. So I was disappointed, and I'm just being on.
I was disappointed because I would expect maybe more from
you know, I would expect more, and I think, you know.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
On the turnovers were kind of fucky, right, like the fumble,
you would have expected him just to go right down.
Then he threw the screen right into the hands of
the defensive end.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
And here it is when you drop back on the screen.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
And quarterbacks know it too, because when they drop back,
they lure the defense to them and then they take
another step back so they can get the screen over
to the running back. But typically it's clear line of sight.
You got a guy, and you know if there's a
guy there, if it is, you throw the ball in
the dirt. And the fact that it was an interception

(04:52):
and it was on the screen, I'm saying, Andy, you
had to see that guy.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
There's no way that you he's standing right in front
of your guy, right, because that's part of the place.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Because that's so that would I wouldn't I would expect
you to throw the ball at his feet in the dirt.
That didn't materialize. They should have scored a test out anyway.
They scored on a new assume. So the thing with
Josh Allen, but those were similar things that and adult
was doing that. This was confusing to me given his

(05:23):
level experience.

Speaker 7 (05:24):
Right, did you expected, you know, kind of just a
cleaner game as far as the way he's going to
run it. Having the full week of preparation coming into it,
and uh again, I thought that was the biggest stuff
of all, was the was the turnovers, and then you
know they're able to run the ball, the number one
rushing team in the league. But man, I feel like
you almost like get your will broken, and that's where
you see that show up sometimes in the defensive run

(05:45):
game at that point.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Yeah, here it is.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But I thought that Buffalo did a great job of
one thing. If you notice, the ball got moved out latterally.
There was a lot of tall sweeps. There was some
zone stretched place to the rough left and right, and
what that does for the lineman, the offensive lineman and
kind of moved latterly together as a unit, and what
that does to the defensive line is that you end

(06:09):
up moving that way too, and they were able to
push o guys out of the way, and then the
running back was able to either continue straight on his
way to the outside or make his cutback. And so
from that standpoint, I thought they came up with a
good plan of running a lot of toss sweeps, zone stretches,
some powers, and a lot of counters, bringing the guy

(06:30):
tightened across and whamming the defensive end to go ahead
and free up a manage. So I was like, wow,
this is a pretty good plan against a really good
run defense. We have a really good run defense, but
today Buffalo was just that much.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Better and it was just better.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
And they had that extra week to prepare to write
and with Sean McDermott of nine to zero out of
the bye week and Josh Allen eight.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
No, and don't forget Sean McDermott has always been a
defensive guru. He's always been that guy to say, let me,
how do I stop their running gay? But also on
the flip side of that, when you have a defense
of guru, you also know what works. Again a good defense,
you know what you can possibly do. And so I
thought the fact that they were getting cook on the

(07:10):
outside and he was doing a lot of cutback things.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
And just increasing US, I was like, Wow, they got
a really.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Good game plan against us, and they got a great
running back who could put up two hundred and sixteen yards.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
And I heard through a Nie was just talking on
the radio.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
I heard that they hadn't had that till until OJ
Simpson back with the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
Most rushing yards by a Buffalo Bill since then since then. Wow,
with that, we'll take a time out. We'll get the
comments of head coach Dave Kanalis, some of these Panther
players from Jake and Luke and a Niche in the booth.
Mike's got a scoreboard update for you around the league
of what's going on and what's finished today, all coming

And then tonight you have Green Bay at Pittsburgh, so
the Panthers will see Green Bay next week. And then
Washington Kansas City is the Monday night game. That's our
drive around the Carolina's part to you by the Honda
Dealers of the Carolinas.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
All right, thank you, Mike. We got Eugene, of course,
and now we're joined by another legendary Panther defensive back,
Captain Munterland is here. Great to see Captain Munterland.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
How you doing sure?

Speaker 10 (09:50):
I'm doing good man. How you guys doing doing great?

Speaker 7 (09:52):
We'd like to have had you on a better game. Yeah,
many control that. How good is when you look at
bad offense, especially the way they ran a Buffalo did
and what Josh Allen brings to that. I mean that
a one two punch of him and James Cook and
Josh Allen. That was a lot today.

Speaker 10 (10:09):
Oh yeah, definitely was a lot. Last year. I had
the chance to go up there and do the bill
watch coach University thing, so I seen how those guys operate.
And it's a wonderful thing that those guys got going on.
Coach McDermott, he got those guys rolling the offense.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Man.

Speaker 10 (10:25):
They special, especially when you have a guy like Josh
Josh Allen. Man, anything goes on in the game. Man,
He's a guy that can make plays with his legs
and with his arms. So he's a very special quarterback.
Is the reason why he was the MVP last year,
and he showed us that today.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
How much do they remind you of some of the
Panther teams you played on, especially because you had a quarterback,
you know, a big quarterback in Cam Newton too.

Speaker 10 (10:45):
Oh yeah, it reminds us a lot now when we
had Cam, Jonathan Stewart, and D'Angelo Williams. Then you add
a little Chritian McCaffrey in there, so it reminds me
of a lot of those guys. Man, when you have
an offense like that, you feel like you're always in
the game, no matter what the score is. I remember
back in twenty eighteen when we went down to Philadelphia
and we was down like twenty one nothing in the
fourth quarter and everybody was like, yeah, it's over. The

(11:07):
game was over all of a sudden, we make a run,
Cam new To make a couple of runs, make a couple,
make a couple of good throws, and we're back in
the game. We end up winning the game. And it's like, man,
when you have guys at that capible athletes, man, it's special.
Especially you always feel like you're always in the game.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
You know, when we saw what they were able to
do officively, put up so much yards and put up
to succeed, did you expect that as much? But particularly
with our defense and how good our defense has been lately,
when you assess what we bring to the table defensively
and what they bring to the table offensively, did you
expect to see what you saw today?

Speaker 10 (11:41):
No, sir, No, sir, not at all, not at all.
You know, our defense been playing lights out, especially the
run game. With the run game, they've been shutting the
run game down a lot. And I wasn't expecting that
at all. I thought it was going to be a
good match good match up at and today they just
got the best of us. You know, it's tough playing
in the NFL, know, in every level. So when you

(12:02):
not having your starting quarterback play, it's kind of tough.
It's tough, man. I experienced that on Friday nights now
my starting quarterback went down.

Speaker 8 (12:11):
Dude.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
Yeah, yes, in the backup, not to say, you know, rifle,
it's definitely different, you know, and that shows today. You know,
you know, a couple of three and outs offense put
the defense back on the field, and you know, you
get worn down a little bit defensively. You know, he
missed the you g you know, you know, so you
get worn down a little bit. Then all of a sudden,
you know, they get a couple of first down, they

(12:33):
have a long drive and bam, you know, they score
a touchdown. So that definitely happened to me.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
We saw a lot of zone stretches, a lot of
the toss plays, and then we saw a lot of
them pulling a guard or pulling a tight end to
bring out on a wind block to snack and allowing
the running back to go ahead and make a decision
whether he can continue out or he could go ahead and.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
Make that cutback.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yes, having cooked to make that decision, that makes it
really difficult and hard if you're not getting in the.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
Right position the face.

Speaker 10 (13:00):
Oh no, if you're not in the right position, you know,
me and you both know when they cracking them lineback,
So you got to make them corners and safety makes
those tackles. It's a tough tackle for a corner. Now,
we really want to see those guys do they really
want that tackle? You know? And Joe Brady, he did
a great job of getting the ball to the outside
and letting James Cook see if the guys really wanted
to tackle him. So they crack blocked and you have

(13:20):
to come down. Man, if you sit there and shuffle
your feet, you're in trouble. You know, we know that.
So I remember when I was playing, they used to
tell me you better get them for the get going.
You better get them for you get going. So that's
why that tackle right there. You gotta shoot. If you're
gonna shoot and take a picture, you're gonna be in trouble.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
Here's what I want to talk about, because this game
wasn't that much fun. We'll talk to more paths stuff.
But how's the first year of high school coaching?

Speaker 10 (13:42):
Man? It's going good. Man, I'm in the playoffs. It
looks like I'm going back over to Myles Park to
play my old school. Yeah I'm at Chambers Yeah Somethingpreciations yea.
So it looked like first round of the playoffs I
might be playing my old school. So it's a crazy situation.
But at the same time, man, I'm so excited, man,

(14:03):
just to have the opportunity to coach these young men,
you know, to pull into these young men and let
those guys know, man, you have a chance. You know,
I look at some of the guys that I'm coaching
and I'm looking up to them, like, yo, the kid
is already bigger than me. I don't think I could
ever catch them. But it's just amazing, man, just to
pour into those kids and how they light up and
how they respond back to me. Man, being a coach,

(14:25):
how much do you have to.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Dial down your pro knowledge and when you go ahead
and adapt it to what a high school can, go
ahead and consume a lot.

Speaker 10 (14:33):
You have to do it a lot. You have to
dive down the lot because you got to realize these
kids don't know everything like you know. So if I
say cover three to you know you you're like, okay,
I know where it is, curl flat, drop this and that,
but you're just spit it out. So now you have
to really like try to scale it back a little bit.
I can't run a pro style defense or pro style
offense with these kids. You got to keep it simple.

(14:55):
And I always say, get them all to your athletes,
let them make plays, tackle in space. You'll be okay, Yeah, dude, give.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Me some keep it simple, man.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
I might work for pro games.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
But I think what's interesting too.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
And nowadays, my son just graduated last year and he
was at Charlie Cathvill four years. But you know the
advantages that he had, uh is the technology that these
kids can take advantage. They can brush the huddle, you know,
and they can do all that stuff that you know.
Back in my day it was sixteen millimeter film.

Speaker 10 (15:26):
So I was having a conversation with a couple of
guys the other day and I was telling them, like,
these guys are so much advancing, so much better than
where we were, and it was like you think, So
I was like, yes, we might have more dog inness,
you know, we might have more dog inness. But when
they came to the exis and o's and the the
athletics systems that these guys gout, they're way better than
this because they got more technology. Like the training is better,

(15:51):
like everything is much better. And they're they needed these
days because with these nil deals, man, it's killing out
high school babies. It's killing out high schools athletes.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Man.

Speaker 10 (16:00):
And you know, I had a parent meeting the other
day and I was telling some of the seniors like, listen,
I know some of your guys had high hopes. Know
y'all wanted to go to Power four Power five. But
college coaches are coming in my office and they were saying, hey,
you know, he's he a guy. I'm like, yeah, he's
a guy that he's like, Well, I rather go get
this twenty one year old and transfer reporter instead of
exactly been on a high school kid, getting him three

(16:22):
hundred four hundred thousand dollars exactly, and it's killing out
high school babies.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Man, that's a great question because what so what what
what are happening to the seniors, Like the opportunities?

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Is it like division to go like a Division two?

Speaker 10 (16:33):
Yes, you have to go to like a division too,
or maybe go juco. You know, uh, they changed the
rules now you can do two years of junior college
and have your four years and four years eligibility. So
I would tell my guys, now, hey, man, go go
get some film, go get some great work, learn a
little bit more about the game, and go go Power
five Power four. After that, you know, don't be so

(16:53):
excited to go to Power five school because you might
not play. Transfer report is real, it's real, and if
you're a seventeen eighteen year old kid, and I know
my job is on the line. I'm not about to
give you five hundred thousand dollars. I'm gonna go with
this twenty one year old kid over here. Then I
know we know how to go to class. You know
what it takes to be in college, and I know

(17:14):
he know everything that's going on, and the.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Coach make it fired. Yeah, about to recruit you.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yes, but it's also easy for the coach to say
go ahead and see you later.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Yes, whirres.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Before when you sign a scholarship, you pretty much had
a four even though they were year to year, you
kind of had a four year plan.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's like, hey, sorry, man, you didn't you didn't do
all off this year.

Speaker 10 (17:30):
Yeahpot it's different man, it's different. Man, I kind of
it kind of hurts for me, man, because it's hard.

Speaker 9 (17:37):
Now.

Speaker 10 (17:38):
You got some guys on my team and I know
they deserve a shot to go to college, and it's like, man,
like you know you might have to take this dtwol
you know, juco route and to see what happened. And
then with again, they also passed them past the rule
in college where you get five years automatically. Now yep,
five years automatically. So it ain't no redshirt no more
five years?

Speaker 7 (17:58):
All right, well, hey Pastel Blocky Chambers, before we let
you go, Eugene. Do you know and he may own
more than one record. Do you know what prominent record
captain with the Carolina You don't. He owns the record
for the most pick six you know how many?

Speaker 6 (18:15):
No? Five?

Speaker 7 (18:22):
I think that's like the most underrated record. Every time
I see Captain go, this needs to be like a banner.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
And man, put him up in the ring.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
That's a record everyone needs.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
That is a great record.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
And here is he truly wants prolific at the at
the you know, the quarnerback nickel spot, because playing cornerback
and nickels two different things. And if you have a
really good person who plays nickel, you can have a
really good defense. And you you're a linebacker, you have
to make great tackles and then you have to cover
the best receiver.

Speaker 10 (18:57):
And I struggle with that in the beginning because I
didn't want to play nickel. I was like, no, Coach
Rivera come in and he was like, listen, we're gonna
let Josh Norman and Chris Gamble. They're gonna play the
outside guys and you're gonna play Nickel. I had limit
syndrome real bad, so I'm like, no, I can play outside.
And he kind of explained to me. You know, we
was in the division where we had you know, Michael Thomas,

(19:18):
we had the slot guy in New Orleans that was
real big.

Speaker 7 (19:22):
Yeah, Mikes was always.

Speaker 10 (19:24):
Mike Evans, you know, Rest in Peace, Vincent Jackson, so
those guys. Then you had Julio Jones, Roddy White, so yeah,
Marcus Colston was in New Orleans. So Coach Rivera was
just explaining to me. He was like, Captain, I know
your dog, I know all the things you're saying. He's like,
but vertically they got you. And I'm sitting there like, man,
I can jump too. But he's like, okay, you can

(19:45):
jump thirty eight, thirty nine vertical, right, he said, but
those guys are six three, six four, and if they
jump in thirty two, who you think is going to win.
I'm sitting there like you got me, you got me?
So I had to really dial in at the Nickel position.
And he told me, he was like, listen, this is
gonna take your career to the next level.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
And they actually did.

Speaker 10 (20:03):
Man, you like mister Jesus said, man, you have to
learn how to tap.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
Don't call me mister stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Man.

Speaker 10 (20:13):
So I really fell in love with the position man,
and did a.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Great job at it.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
Sir, Thank you.

Speaker 7 (20:18):
It's a nice long career. Thanks, thank you, no doubt.

Yeah, they had, you know, the explosive plays. That's something
we preach all the time. It's just limiting those explosive plays,
and they did that today. You know, I think there's
there's gonna be plenty to learn from it. And you know,
but I think confidence doesn't waiver. You know, you get
kicked around a little bit, you just gotta come back

(21:57):
and you can to move on.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
Hey, Christian, is Jake here?

Speaker 13 (22:02):
Any of the plays that we saw today different than
what maybe Buffalo showed some earlier in the season, being
they had the bye week, something they might have worked
on that we might have had trouble with.

Speaker 12 (22:12):
Yes, and no, I mean there was there was some stuff,
but they're just they're they're over line, they work well together,
the well coached, and I think there's a couple couple
of misfits. I know, but you know, nothing, they didn't
do anything too funky. You know, they just and that's
kind of what we expected. And just they have a
good run game and that's that's just all there is
really to it.

Speaker 14 (22:33):
Christian Luke, here a tough one for you guys, obviously,
Just what's one thing that you guys could kind of
work on this week in practice? Obviously lafleur in that
offense is gonna be wide zoned, some outside stuff. What's
one thing that you guys will probably stress this week?
Get back going again on Wednesday?

Speaker 12 (22:46):
Yeah, I think, uh, you know, just back to the fundamentals.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
I think that's win or loss.

Speaker 12 (22:50):
That's that's kind of what you gotta lean back on,
and you know, getting getting our fits right and getting
our job first and get to the ball, and you know,
I think just keeping this team together. We've we've been
through some adversity and today it was another part of that.
Still love this team, love this defense, and I think
if nothing else, will just grow as a team and

(23:13):
we will put something on the field next week that
that people are proud of.

Speaker 11 (23:16):
Christian, I'll leave you with this. One thing this team
has shown this season is the ability to bounce back
after New England. You guys rattle off three in a row.
Where does that come from.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
I think it's.

Speaker 12 (23:28):
For one, it's it's it's coaches just preaching to us
what it takes to win. And at the same time,
it's just players buying in. We had. You know, we're
sitting after week four. We weren't too happy where we
were and would have been really easy to just kind
of pack it in and and say, well, you know,
that's uh, that's just kind of mushed through this. But

(23:49):
it wasn't easy, you know, right on off three wins.
It was some adversity there, and I think nothing else
will just we'll learn from this and come back and
like I said earlier, just just put something on that
feel that people are proud of.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
You know, today that wasn't us.

Speaker 12 (24:04):
We just we want to be in games, We want
to be competitive, and I think today obviously was not that.
So I still love this team, love playing for this team,
and I'm excited for next week.

Speaker 8 (24:15):
I appreciate it. Christian, Thank you, yep.

Speaker 10 (24:17):
Thanks.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
What I hear in his voice is when I when
I hear him talk, I hear him being the disappointment
because I think and I believe that he thought that
we were going to play much better than what we
looked like we did today, you know, and that you know,
he mentioned a little bit about the fits, and he
said about how good He mentioned twice about how good
they were, how good would they were? And so I

(24:43):
don't think it's a thing about how great they were,
but it just how we didn't play up to our expectations.
That's when I hear it in his voice, when he's
talking like, man, we got to come back and do
a lot better. They will do a lot better next week,
There's no doubt about that. I thought that the scheme
that the offense came out with, I thought that they

(25:03):
play better. And I thought that scheme, well, I guess
us moving us latterly and pushing us out the way
and letting the running back get his cud on.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
And now Terry Christian, I mean cook, he just he cooked,
he cooked, he did. Yeah, you, I mean, Buffalo is
good every year. They're a Super Bowl contender every year.
We're even though we come in the S game four
to three, we're not at that level. That's who we
want to be. We are not that. Today. This is
a game where it's like, Okay, learn from this and
then next time, like next week, you go to Green Bay.

(25:32):
It's another Super Bowl contender coming up next week, Mike,
you go on the road to their place. You know,
let's learn quickly from this one and hopefully have some
decent health to be able to do something with this
game coming up this week, because otherwise it's gonna be
a repeat performance if we can't get out there and
correct some of the things that happened today.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, when we were walking over here, the thing I
was thinking was, this is a game you just crumple
up a year, throw it away. I mean, obviously there's
something you want to look at, but you know you
can't dwell on it. And yet, if it were a
baseball game, you'd be happy playing tomorrow because you really
want to get the taste out of your mouth. But
you know, this team did rip off three three wins
in three different ways. They had, you know, a really
tough game against a good Jets defense last week, so

(26:13):
you know, and then Green basically be playing on a
little bit of a shorter week if you will, so
you know, not everything is lost if you will.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
There's there's some coaching elements that I think that coach
Canalis is gonna have to go ahead maybe to address
there's some tackling, there's some fits that he's going to
have to address coach of Guerro on the defense side
of the ball.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
But by and large, I think you're absolutely right.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
This team that we play is an elite team in
the National Football League, and we're really not at that
level right now.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
At least we're not. At least it didn't look like that.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
But I didn't think we were going to play as
badly as we did, and so just throw this game
away and get ready for the next one.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
Got some injuries to deal with. An injury updates you
brought to you by Atrium help doing more to keep
you moving, achieving and striving at every age and stage
so you can live fully. Cade May's left the game
with an ankle injury, Jimmy Horn a shoulder injury, Taylor
Mowden knocked out of the game with a knee injury,
Brady Christensen has a torn achilles who, as it turns out,
so his season. You and I know him, we know
about and Trevin Wallace a concussion. Derek Brown suffered a

(27:17):
knee injury in this game. So that's a long list
of talented football players, unfortunately for the Panthers. On top
of the loss. Today, we'll listen back to some of
the highlights. Coming up, we'll hear from the coach Dave Canalis,
the guy's thoughts from the booth, and much more as
we continue in the aftermath of a forty to nine
loss at home to Buffalo. You're listening on the Carolina
Panthers Radio Network. All right, welcome back inside the North

(27:44):
Lounge Fifth Quarter Show. Along with Eugene and Mike, it's
Jim with you as we'll listen back to a couple
of the let's call him the calls of the game. Yes,
highlights is a popular term, but we don't have those,
so we'll listen back to just one from offense and
one from the defensive side here, both in favor of Buffalo.
As the Panthers. Andy Dalton had three turnovers in the game.
He was also sacked seven times. Here in the open field,

(28:06):
he was out and running with the football and something
bad happens.

Speaker 11 (28:09):
Here and he's in the guy red rifle takes the snap.
Four man rushed Dalton in the pocket. Pump fake steps
up Old run, chase from behind, full pops out. It's
loose said, it's picked up by Buffalo and Christian ben Ford.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
And then there was the Bill's rushing attack and it
was a huge day for James Cook out there. This
is the biggest of all sixty four yard touchdown run
in the second.

Speaker 11 (28:34):
Quarter, Alan under center, off set eye hand off the
Cook running up the middle. He's got a big hole,
he's got midfield, he's got nobody in front.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
James Cook twenty four.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
Side ten five and he catapults into the end zone
for a little show and then chucks the ball into
the stands, into a sea of blue and red.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
There were a lot and there still are here in
the North Lounge, a lot of Buffalo Bill fans surrounding
everywhere around the stadium today. That was the Whataburger win,
a moment of the game. Grilling delicious food for seventy
five years. What a burger just like you like it.
And Eugene, You've seen some great combinations of quarterback and
running back that can run, because we had that with
the Panthers with Cam Newton and put out there John

(29:20):
and Stewart, Daniel Williams, o the great running backs that
he paired with during the time. When you've got that
combination of a big, physical running quarterback and then one
of the elite running backs in the league on top
of that, that's what you end up with sometimes. As
a day like that.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Today, it is absolutely difficult. There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
You can even tell that Nick Gorton coming off the edge,
he's worried about. He's definitely worried about Josh Allen. And
then Josh Allen give it off the ball to Cook
and then he's almost overrunning the play. And so from
that standpoint, you're like, when you have two dual threats
back there a quarterback who can run the ball and
throw the ball extremely well or take off whatever he
wants to, and then the schemist will stay employed running the.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Ball, it becomes very, very difficult.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
You can't stop them all, you know, you have to
commit eight men to the line of scrimmage. And then
Josh Allen does playoffs and pass and he's beating you
down the field on the passing game, so you got
to kind of pick your poison. And for us, it
was just a very tough day against a very elite
and let me just say an elite Buffalo team.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Did they really are that good?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Well in a team like this to Jim when they
you know, they came in as the top team in
time of possession and a top rushing team, So what
does that mean. That means they're on the field a lot.
And when your offense has limited opportunities, you have to
make the most of those opportunities. And that's one thing
that the offense didn't do with all the with all
the turnovers today.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
And don't forget, they're really well coached by a coach.
He's been there for what nine ten years now, Coach McDermott.
He is very good at coaching, he's very good at scheming.
And you know they've been in the playoffs for the
last how many years and really a game away from
going to.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
The super Bowl. So from that standpoint, I'm telling you
they're really really good. And so I mean, who lost?
So a very good team.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
Today, even their offensive coordinator Joe Brady, that's why more
panther from that rule era. So they got a lot
of connections. We know that, and some guys are doing
really well in this league. We'll take a time out
to podcast Busy Hey.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
Podcast is busy.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
He's not podcasting, he's socializing.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
I know that's podcast busy.

Speaker 7 (31:20):
Socially, he's about to become Papa busy here in the
next couple of days. He's got that going on at
home too. All right, we'll take a time out here.
Much more to come from the North Lounge. You never
know what Eugene might shout at you if you come
and visit. Panthers lose to the Buffalo forty to nine.
You're listening on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Back to the Panthers postgame show live from Bank of
America Citium, exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Belcom.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Belcon is a proud partner of the Carolina Panthers, your
hometown favorite. In the fashion Games, it's eighteen eighty eight.
At Belk, you could score game day gear from over
one hundred teams, shot brands like Adidas, Nike, under Armor,
and bring home the big win with big deals at
exclusive Coupon's Belk in the game since eighteen eighty eight. Jim, Mike,
and Eugene, we'll get more of our thoughts from here
in just a moment. Right now, let's hear what the guys,

(32:09):
I heard from the head coach Dave Canalis after this
forty to nine loss to Buffalo.

Speaker 11 (32:12):
Ani Shwap Jacolmluke Keigley here with the Panthers head coach
Dave Canalis. Dave the immediate snapshot of this game. Where
did it start to go sideways? For you guys?

Speaker 15 (32:25):
You know, it's really just the first of all, let's
give credit to the Buffalo Bills and their their intention
to get their run game going, and the game that
James Cook played it was unbelievable and he was special
today talking about us, you know, stopping the run, getting
our run game going on the offensive side, and the turnovers.
This is just football that we're not used to, and

(32:46):
we just have to look at that and say, look,
this was not the brand of football that's led to
the success that we've had. Let's get back to what
we were doing before so that we can get this
thing back on track.

Speaker 13 (32:56):
Hey, coach is Jake, you know, it's kind of tough
watch in the offensive line. We've had so many injuries
and two more today with Taylor Moten not playing in
the second half, and we saw Brady get caughted off.
Any update on those two, and what's the answer you
think going forward?

Speaker 15 (33:11):
Yes, Unfortunately, Brady Christensen has a torn achilles and so
he'll be out And what a stud I just got
to take a moment to appreciate what Brady has done
for us playing all across the offensive line for the
last two years, really every single spot, and just the
type of guy that he is anything for the team,

(33:32):
the focus, the intention to detail, the toughness and all that.
We're going to really miss him. You know, Taylor, We're
going to reevaluate him and see where he's at. He just,
you know, his his knee kind of flared up on
him today and they got a couple of good rushes
on him, and it just felt like, you know, he
wouldn't give us the best chance. So we put Yash
out there. But we'll have more information on Taylor, and
then of course Kate had an ankle. Austin Corbett came

(33:55):
in and did a great job settling things down and
just allowing us to continue to play.

Speaker 14 (34:00):
Coach Luke here just kind of what will be the
message for these guys moving forward. Get a chance to
go out and play a team at lambeau Field. That'll
be a lot of fun. But how do you guys
attack the week this week?

Speaker 15 (34:09):
Yeah, we got to look at this loss as a
loss and regardless of the scoreboard the way that it
turned out, that's what happens when you turn the ball
over three times and you don't get any back. You know,
you're losing all those possessions, a chance to still some
points there, you know before the half. You know, love
to get that ball thrown away so we can go
out there calmly and get it done. But got to say,
you know, got to give a lot of props to

(34:29):
Tracy having the guys ready for the money situation. They
ran out there, We got the ball down and just
missed it. But as a group, you know, we just
have to regroup. We have to just go right back
to work and say, Okay, these are the things that
have worked for us to this point. Let's get back
to those and capture those so we can move our
football forward.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (34:45):
The one guy that was good to see back out
there was was Jalen Coke. I'd imagine you guys like
having a back out there just kind of talk about
his ability to play inside outside, catches the ball really
well with his hands.

Speaker 15 (34:54):
Yeah, he's done a great job in the run game
as well, and just as a is a reliable target,
you know, for our guys. It's really good to see
Jalen had a really good week of practice, getting his
legs back underneath them and made some place for us today.

Speaker 11 (35:07):
Dave, I'll leave you with this. It seems through thick
and thinn you've stayed with the process. Can you speak
to how that has helped you in building this thing?

Speaker 15 (35:17):
Absolutely, that's all we have and the most important thing
for us as a staff is to point to things, tangible,
things that we can correct, and we have to focus
on those things, and if we do, we'll continue to
move our football forward. We took a step back today
in terms of taking care of it and stopping the run.
We got to get back on track to playing the
type of ball that Panthers.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
Are used to.

Speaker 8 (35:36):
All right, Dave, thank you very much, Thanks gooing, thank you.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
All right?

Speaker 7 (35:39):
The head coach Dave Canal is forty to nine. The
Panthers lose the game, and we were here about almost
a month ago. It was a New England game. Gave
up forty plus points to them on that tough road loss.
This one felt a lot like that kind of a game,
But the Panthers followed that up with a three game
winning streak. I will say going to Green Bay against
the good Packers to is a different type of a

(36:01):
challenge Eugene than maybe playing the Biami Dolphins were in
the next week after that one to start the three
game winning streak. But I think for this team, we'll
see first of all what their health looks like in
this one, but see how they can reabout. I mean,
you look at that loss, it still counts as one
and your record is four and four for a team
that went five games all last year two with the
year before. Process means trying to build something here. You

(36:22):
still have a chance to really go on to have,
you know, incrementally, if nothing else, a better season than
when you've had the last couple of years.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
And what I hear in coach Canallys's voice is that
there's a steady head and they want to stick with
the process because this process.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Is yielding some wins.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
And so once again you're going to but you wouldn't
have a great opponent, no doubt with Buffalo. You got
a next opponent that's coming up. You get to go
ahead and make some changes and make some modifications.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
Go ahead and make those modifications. I think the one thing.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Moving forward would make derail some of what Coach Canadis
wants to do is the injury boat. Yeah, when you
got those many guys, you talked about a Brady, this thing,
you talked about Molten, you talked about King Mays, you
talked about three.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Guys that's on the office of line.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Where do you get that production and how do you
replace that production you know, and how do you get
backups in depth in that and.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
In those areas moving forward?

Speaker 4 (37:15):
That's one of the enemies that that that the Panthers
is gonna face is not only the fact that you
got to go to lambeau Field and face the Packers,
is that you've got to face an injury book.

Speaker 6 (37:25):
And how do we compensate and how do we go
ahead and.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Move on from here and that we keep a high
level that we've been used to because obviously it took a.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
Dip today and you're playing this season Mike without your
Pro Bowl guard Mike Hunt or Robert Hunter.

Speaker 10 (37:37):
Shit, that's right.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
I think you look at that as how you've already
got guys filling in right for these and these are
the guys are getting.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
Hurt, you know, and you know, obviously the mantra is
next man up. But you know, at some point with
this much attrition, you have to hope for the best,
right So, but to Gee's point, you know, that's one
of those things that's it's just gonna have to play
play it out.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
But you can't.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
I mean, no one's gonna cry for you. Yeah, so
it's it is literally the next guy up, and you
know the coaches will get them best prepared. But I
think the other thing I liked to Dave Canell said though,
was like, look, you know, we're putting this aside now
and we're already you know, we're.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Moving ahead and moving forward and got to get back to.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Doing the things that have made this team successful, particularly
this year. And you can't turn them all over three
times and you can't not get any turnovers in return.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
You you got to get get some takeaways there.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
One thing I think is the bread and butter of
this team has been the defense, and I think that
there was a step that we took backwards on the defense.
And I know there may be some injuries there as well. However,
to get on track, I think that the defense needs
to be intact, and the defense needs to get back
to that.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
If you can hold it.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Upon it to like eighty plus yards rushing and not
the two hundred that we saw today, two thirty eight
that we saw today, then you give yourself a chance.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
Right.

Speaker 7 (38:54):
Well, hopefully got Bryce young back. It looks like there's
a decent opportunity for that. You got two stud rinning backs,
so you do have the ability to kind of control
things and play the game the way they want to
play with their brand of football. More to come, including
we'll hear the guys in the booth with their final
comments as well. Bikes got another scoreboard update for you
on the way forty to nine Buffalo wins over the

(39:15):
Panthers on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. Panthers follow at
four and four of the Bills improved a five and
two with their forty to nine win over the Carolina Panthers,
and let's check in with the guys in the booth
once again get their final thoughts on this one.

Speaker 11 (39:33):
Final score from Bank of America Stadium, Buffalo forty Carolina
nine and A Shroff, Jake DeLoone, Louke Kigley. This game
started with some promise. Buffalo got a couple of field
goals early. The Panthers defense made a few red zone stops.
Carolina was driving inside the twenty. Andy Dalton then was

(39:54):
hit from behind on a scramble fumbled, Buffalo recovered, Panthers
got a field goal to make it six to three.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
It was twelve to three.

Speaker 11 (40:08):
Turnover led to a Josh Allen touchdown nineteen to three,
and then this game kind of changed. Right before halftime.
The Panthers were in striking distance. It looked like they
could come away with maybe at least a field goal,
but with no timeouts, Andy Dalton takes a sack and
then the field goal team rushed on and they barely
get the kickoff, which they missed. And then the second

(40:31):
half opens with Buffalo going touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, and essentially
the game was over. Jake, Buffalo is in the elite
of the elite in the NFL, a team with Super
Bowl ambitions.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
This was a big test. The Panthers were punching up.

Speaker 11 (40:48):
Not to say that this Carolina team isn't still as
sending or isn't real, but Andy Dalton started not bryce young.
The offensive line, which was already banged up, got beat
up even more in this game, but more than anything,
too many self inflicted wounds against good teams.

Speaker 8 (41:05):
When you do that, you get forty to nine.

Speaker 9 (41:08):
No, you do, And it comes back to this.

Speaker 13 (41:14):
Until we beat a quality team, we beat one of
these playoff teams, we're gonna get questions. We're like, they're
not there yet, and I don't think we are. We're
trying to ascend. We're trying, right, but you can't. And
I understand Bryce wasn't playing today, but it started with
the first drive.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
Of the game.

Speaker 13 (41:32):
We gave up a sack on the first third down,
self inflicted. We tripped over ourselves, right, and it just
it never we never did anything to stop it.

Speaker 9 (41:42):
We never did anything down the field.

Speaker 13 (41:45):
We were in this football game, and it felt like
the end of the first quarter, like gosh, we haven't
given ourselves a chance yet.

Speaker 9 (41:52):
And that's the thing.

Speaker 13 (41:52):
We're not playing complimentary football yet it hasn't come.

Speaker 9 (41:56):
I just think that watching us.

Speaker 13 (42:00):
Today, we looked we didn't look as fast as Buffalo,
and I give Buffalo credit.

Speaker 9 (42:04):
Maybe the roster is a little better than us right now.

Speaker 13 (42:06):
And you know what, it probably is the way that
they've been developed, but they look fresh.

Speaker 9 (42:11):
We've had a bunch of battles in a row.

Speaker 13 (42:13):
We've got to we've got to come back because it
doesn't it doesn't stop right. That team we're going to
play next week, they're they're very, very good. It's a
very physical football team. So how do we answer from
this and we have You have to learn a lot
about yourself.

Speaker 14 (42:28):
Yeah, I think you kind of nailed it. We got
to make it stop with that run game. You better
believe La Floor and that offense is going to say, hey,
how did how did they have How did Buffalo have
success running the ball against the Carolina Panthers. I think
perimeter run game, big people playing physical, kind of sprinkle
a little bit of gap scheme in there. So our
defense and our linebackers and our front guys we got

(42:49):
to understand, hey, we're gonna see this type of run
game again. We got to find a way to fix
it on on this this week. Because you better believe
Matt Matt Lafleoor is going to see that and say, hey,
we're gonna try to mimic that. But you know what,
to start the game, we hold in the red zone,
We hold in the red zone. Then we give up
the long touchdown run and then it's a three and
out and we're feeling pretty pretty good about ourselves, and

(43:09):
then the interception and the Josh punches it in right
before half. We missed the field at the end of
the half. Just too many mistakes against a good team.
And this is the best team that we played all
year from top to bottom, both offensively and defensively, and
I think we just made too many mistakes and we
didn't capitalize on opportunities that we had to score points
and get off the field on third down. So I

(43:30):
think for us, we got to take a look at ourselves.
But hey, I think eight games into the season, I
think sitting at four and four to start the year,
I think we would have been like, Okay, it's not
exactly where we want to be, but we would probably
take that going into the season. And it's just it's
good to see some of these guys team acts continuing
to play really well. Jalen Kocher, it's been good to

(43:50):
see him go win on some third downs against guys
like Taron Johnson catch the ball with his hand. So
as much as as forty to nine looks bad, there
were some small positives with some of these guys continuing
to play well.

Speaker 11 (44:01):
It's a reminder to Jake and you've been through this.
Progress isn't always linear, right. They had that great win
against Atlanta and then New England, which looks like a
pretty good team right now. By the way, New England
took it to Carolina. Up in Foxborough. You have three
wins against the Jets, the Cowboys, the Dolphins, and people
questioning maybe the caliber of those opponents, although Dallas is

(44:23):
a pretty darn good offense. Okay, how do you fare
against Buffalo? Yep, you get beat forty to nine. How
does this team respond? What did they do going forward?
Because here's the one reality for the Panthers. The easy
part of the schedule it was the first seven games.
Now the classes get a little harder, the exams a

(44:43):
little tougher.

Speaker 9 (44:44):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 13 (44:45):
And as you're saying that, I went right to my
notes from this week, I take notes or whatever. Andy
Dalton in one of his interviews, he said the biggest
statement that I.

Speaker 9 (44:55):
Think I've heard in a while.

Speaker 13 (44:56):
He said, Canalis has stuck to the process this year year,
even through the ugly losses. I don't think that's gonna change.
I think it's gonna go back to that. It's gonna
go back to Hey, what's the expectation. I'm anxious to
hear from a Derek Brown after this. I want to
hear the leaders step up the j C horns. Where
who's our offensive lead? I want to hear from them.

(45:17):
How do we respond? We've got a lot of young guys,
we got injuries. We got to answer. What do we
do to come back to answer? To get Ready and Luke.

Speaker 11 (45:23):
I want to end with this again, Andy Dalton. This
is not a slide. He had a tough day, but
he's the backup quarterback at this stage of his career.
Does this game change the way maybe skeptics look at
Bryce Young?

Speaker 14 (45:38):
I think for us, I think we kind of talked
about a little bit the growth that we've seen from
Bryce and his ability to extend plays. There are some
opportunities I think in this game where Bryce Bryce is
in he's got a little bit more speed, He's got
a little bit more ability to run around. Maybe can
he extend plays as that pass Russ kind of started
to squeeze in on him, And I think it's one
of those things you're always gonna want which you don't have.

(46:00):
You know, it's if Bryce is in, we're gonna say, hey,
you know, we could have been better here, here, and here.
But if Andy's in, we're gonna say, hey, we could
have been better here, here, and here. So I think
I think you miss you missed some of the qualities
that Bryce has when when Andy's in, and there's some
of the things that Andy does really well that you
wish Bryce would do better. So I think it's I
think it's kind of a double edged sword. You want
what you don't have, And I think it was just

(46:22):
all around a difficult day for us everywhere quarterback, running back,
offensive line, especially on the defense side against the run game.
I think Andy and Bryce both do things really well,
and it's just it's just a it's a tough game
all around for US.

Speaker 11 (46:36):
Panthers have to wash it away and get ready for
a big road game up at Lambeau next week. Again,
your final score here for Bank of America Stadium, Buffalo
forty Carolina nine. Panthers now four and four on the season.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
Till you Mike on there the blue light, yeah, blue light,
yeah right there, ya.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
There we go, Hu I agree with uh.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
I agree with Louke Kickley because regardless of the Andy
Dalton or or Bryce Young is in there, they don't
play defense. Man, if they played defense, that might be
a different story. But our defense got beat by a
very good offense that we're able to go ahead and
put two hundred and thirty eight yards rushing and control
the flow of the game the entire time, whether they

(47:16):
were throwing the ball over, they were running the ball,
and so it didn't matter what quarterback was in the
game because we could not stop them offensively. And that
was one of the problems I see. So yeah, and
I agree with Luke. You know, they do things differently,
and some's gonna, you know, do things a little bit
better than the other. But that wasn't the case the quarterback. Defensively,

(47:39):
we just could not stop the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 7 (47:41):
Yeah, you gotta keep a scoring check. I mean, even
if you're not having a great day offensively. Now when
they get the ball offensively at your one yard line,
because that's why the offense came exactly. You excuse that obviously,
and you understand that. But the other ones that Dalton
fumbled in their red zone and then he had the
other interception, I forget where was that more towards the
midfield perhaps, I'm not really sure at this point, but
then there was there was the one that was at.

Speaker 6 (48:03):
The one where when I hit you arm and yeah.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
So that's you know, that's you know that you don't
put on the defense. But when you give up well
over two hundred yards rushing, you're gonna lose the game.

Speaker 6 (48:13):
Yeah, you're not gonna You're not gonna win a game.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
When they when I was looking at that, they were
and halftime they were three for six fifty percent.

Speaker 6 (48:19):
I'm like, man, fifty percent. They must be killing us.
I'm like, no, they were winning on first and second down.
They were getting first you know, first.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Downs six seven yards and then pick up another six
seven yards to go ahead and make it a new
first down. So they were really winning the first and
second down as opposed to third down percentage, which you
typically want to win, and they won that anyway.

Speaker 7 (48:39):
All right, we're gonna take a time I'll get two
more segments to do here from the north lines. Before
we take this time out. Let's go ahead and pause
ten seconds for station identification on the Carolina Panthers radio network,
All right, well, take a quick time out here. More
to come on the fifth quarter show. Jim along with
Mike and Eugene. Final gain today was Buffalo forty Panthers
nine back to.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Chiins Live from the Bank of America City with the
Panthers postgame show exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
Mike, Jimmy Eugene with you final scoreboard here as we
make our way through here the Carolina Panthers postgame show.
Panthers losing today forty to nine to the Buffalo Bills
here at Bank of America Stadium. There are three games
underway right now. Tampa Bay over New Orleans, so NFC
South Divisional match up there and in the second quarter,
getting down to the two minute warning, Tampa Bay has

(49:31):
a seven to nothing lead over New Orleans. Denver fourteen
to three lead over Dallas set game also just about
two minutes ago in the first quarter, and then just
underway second quarter Tennessee at Indianapolis, and it's the Colts.
Great year for the Colts this year. Right now they
have a ten to nothing lead over one and six Tennessee. Tonight,

(49:53):
Green Bay is at Pittsburgh and Washington is at Kansas City.
That's your Monday night game. And just a look at
some of the earlier games New England. We'll just highlight
these ones. New England thirty two to thirteen over Cleveland.
So Drake May the Myers Park High School former quarterback,
two hundred and eight two yards in the year, three
touchdowns and interception. So New England now at six and two,

(50:15):
and maybe the big story from the early games, the
New York Jets got off the schnide. They pick up
their first win. It was a close one, thirty nine
to thirty eight over Cincinnati. Justin Fields had a touchdown pass.
In that game, Brees Hal ran for one hundred and
thirty three yards. He had two touchdowns on the ground.

Speaker 7 (50:30):
I want to say it's the same score they lost
to Miami by. It was like thirty nine to thirty
eight exactly. And they've been really close to getting some wins.
So I think the Jets will get a couple more
before the end of the season.

Speaker 6 (50:40):
What was Gabriel how did he do? Quarterback? Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:43):
For the Jets? Yeah, hold on, let's go back to that.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
Justin Fields.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
Oh, Justin Oh, I said, you know, he said, Justin
Fills I'm talking about to have the quarterback for the
for the Browns.

Speaker 7 (50:53):
Oh he Dylan Gabriel, I know had two picks and
two touchdowns today.

Speaker 9 (50:57):
Yeah, in the New England game.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
Yeah, he had one to six yards twenty one of
thirty five a sixty five point nine quarterback ratings that he's.

Speaker 7 (51:05):
Not been lighting it up.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
So okay, Brett mcmilla, nobody can understand it.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Nobody can understand it is one thirty five point eight.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Well, that sounds a good understand it.

Speaker 7 (51:19):
That sounds really good though.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
Yeah, I think that's good.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
You know, we didn't realize how good of a New
England team we lost to when we lost there a
month ago. It really become one of the better teams
in the exactly.

Speaker 6 (51:29):
Absolutely. It become like a juckle at high. My good
and they're really good.

Speaker 7 (51:33):
All right, let's take one more time out. We got
one more segment. Guys, be thinking about your hardest working
player of the game. You may have to work extra
hard to figure out who the hardest working player of
the game was. I think we have to pick from
the Panthers players to rule.

Speaker 6 (51:44):
Yeah.

in this forty to nine loss to Buffalo, the hardest
working player of the game brought to you by sun
Belt Reynolds, official rental equipment partner of the Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
You guys pick it.

Speaker 7 (52:50):
I'll just agree with whatever you say.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
Okay, well, I'm gonna go first there, go ahead, I'm
gonna go on the receiving side.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
I'm going with t MAC.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
I am in full agreement with that.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
I third it seven nineteen yards.

Speaker 6 (53:02):
Yeah, yeah, he showed up.

Speaker 9 (53:04):
He did.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
He made some big plays, good catches us you see it.

Speaker 7 (53:07):
Well, guys, we've been here before. We mentioned the New
England game and then if it went to a three
game winning streak. I'm not saying that will necessarily happen
in that way once again. But my point is a
lot of football still to be played still, nine regular
season games eight in the books so far, so don't
really have a true halfway point in regular seasons anymore.
But overall, yeah, there we've beat some t shots out

(53:28):
of bounds into the pond. But there's also been some
good football played along the way too, So hopefully more
good days than what we saw today in the future.
Nine games coming up, and they'll forget.

Speaker 6 (53:37):
The barometers, if you.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
If we surpassed the five mark that we did last
year I got I considered a win.

Speaker 9 (53:43):
We better.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
Yeah, since we're sitting at four, I know and exactly
and we got s we got the Saints twice.

Speaker 8 (53:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:48):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
What I what I like about that too, is that, man,
we're looking at that like, you know what, we're close
to being a lot better.

Speaker 6 (53:56):
Than what we that we are.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
And I think this game kind of throw it out
of you know, out of whack a little bit. But
when I look at it, I'm like, you know, we're
not a bad team at all.

Speaker 6 (54:05):
We'll get this thing straight out. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
What hurts today is it takes a little bite out
of the hope that we've had that's built up. And
you know, as a franchise, and we've seen this over
the years, right, you have to have hope or in
you believe, and you can't get to believe, you know,
you gotta start with hope, then you got to believe.
And so we're kind of still in that hope trying
to get to believe.
