00:00The Carolina Panthers, all of a sudden, turns out that patience might actually be exactly
00:06what young quarterbacks need here.
00:09And say what you want, Dave Canales, the head coach of the Panthers, a lot of, didn't even
00:16have Coker, didn't have all his weapons available.
00:20But you tell me, did that look like, I mean, Bryce Young all of a sudden now looks like
00:26maybe top three, top four passer in the NFL this year.
00:31I'm still trying to figure out how he couldn't throw against that secondary of the Browns
00:36on the road.
00:36But at home, I don't know.
00:39Maybe we should really start considering Carolina as a contender in this division here, Craig.
00:45Agreed.
00:45I think so.
00:46You could go a step further and say that they're a possible NFC contender.
00:49I think you got to say it.
00:51I mean, look, I don't think Detroit is that good.
00:53They're going to win next week, of course, and then lose the following week.
00:56And then win next week, and then lose the following week, and do this all season long
00:59because they're a 500 team and not much better.
01:01Carolina's better than a 500 team, though.
01:04And offensively, I will tell you another thing, too, is that I forget the other running back
01:09that was there in Carolina.
01:10You guys got to remind me that had the great year last year.
01:13Is it about Hubbard or?
01:14No, no, not Hubbard.
01:16Hubbard.
01:16No.
01:16They had another running back, and he's on Pittsburgh now.
01:19I forget his name.
01:20I'm drawing a blank.
01:21But Hubbard is the better guy.
01:24Like, Hubbard is great.
01:25Like, I don't know what they were thinking last year.
01:27And I know they've tried a lot of different things, and they drafted McMillan, and McMillan
01:31has been great.
01:32I'm buying in.
01:33I think Carolina, look, any team that can keep putting up 30s like this, two out of
01:38four games, you got to start to think, okay, like, this is the beginning of something here.
01:43Look, I mean, it's a long way to go to, say, Super Bowl or NFC Championship.
01:47But division?
01:48Absolutely.
01:48Like, I think they are very live to win the division right now.
01:52Tampa's not winning it.
01:54I don't love Atlanta.
01:55New Orleans may be a little bit better.
01:57But Carolina, to me, is doing what they need to do, Joe.
02:01They play a team at home.
02:02They're not even a favorite.
02:03They win the game pretty handily.
02:05Like, okay.
02:07And, yeah, I'm starting to think that if they're not going to adjust the odds, they've got to
02:12stop making Carolina a dog at home.
02:15That's for sure.
02:15They had no, once again, no business on that.
02:18Why Detroit keeps getting these favorable lines, Joe, I have no idea.
02:22What has Detroit done to keep getting these good lines?
02:24For two years ago?
02:25Right.
02:25For how they played two years ago?
02:27I don't get it.
02:29Against a ridiculously decimated Carolina defense as well.
02:34They don't even have half their guys there, correct?
02:36Yeah.
02:36JC Horn's down.
02:38Two of their linebackers are out.
02:40Their best pass rusher got hurt.
02:42Like, it's just, it's amazing to me.
02:45And, by the way, Jameer Gibbs, how many yards did he have yesterday?
02:49I'm just curious.
02:4945?
02:51Like, so the Carolina Panthers have the defense.
02:56And then what's up with you there, you know, Jared Goff?
03:00Just no excuse at all across the board there.
03:04They scored 26 points.
03:06It's never enough for them.
03:08It didn't feel like they were ever in it, though.
03:09I know.
03:09It's never enough.
03:10I know.
03:11It's never enough.
03:12They just didn't feel like they were ever in it.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Well, because they didn't have a choice.
03:17Their defense is so bad.
03:19Is there a worse defense than them?
03:21Maybe the Dolphins, other than them.
03:22Do they have the second worst defense in the NFL, Detroit?
03:26Well, I think the Dolphins' defense is actually getting better.
03:29I think the problem with the Dolphins now is that they can't score.
03:34But that defense, I think, is actually getting better.
03:36And don't forget, Halfley's the defensive guy.
03:38They're going to get better.
03:39They're going to get better.
03:40But I don't ever see them getting better on offense, which is going to make the defense
03:46look worse than it is.
03:47So...
