Need to kill those Lions time outs now

They are just playing to keep the Lions in bounds and in front of the defense. Doing everything on defense and offense to run down the clock. With a 3 score lead and 4 minutes on clock this is what any team should do. Use up clock. Doing this with a 2 score lead with 10 minutes in the games is what is bad coaching.

I want a TE like Shenault

If you have yet to notice what has happened with the Panthers, Wilks made quick adjustments and just recycled the Panthers game plan from 2015 to 2017. This is the Cam Newton SB offense with the McDermott/Wilks attacking defense. Run the score up in the 2nd and attack with the defense early. Protect the lead with your defense. Take note of all the A gap pressure by the LBs now.

This is the only hope for the Panthers. Scripted plays in 1st quarter. Attack on offense in the 2nd quarter and run up the score. Protect the score and take your easy shots in the 3rd quarter. Run the clock down with the running game in the 4th. The run blocking OL and speed pass rushing defense is all the Panthers have. This is the only way they win. They have to hope they do not face a rare run stopping defense. The only teams in the way of the Panthers from here on out are the 49ers and a strong run stopping defense in the SB. The only real obstacle at this point for the Panthers getting to the SB is the trade of CMC to the 49ers. Thanks front office for your great vision of the NFL landscape. Should have took my miracle season plan I proposed in the offseason. This front office is playing checkers and not chess. Wilks is doing what he can to save the season and he knows how to use the teams strengths and cover up their weaknesses.

Disagree. The state of the run defense is at a serious low now as they have been built to defend the passing teams. There is only 2 good run defenses in the NFC. 49ers and Rams. The rest of the few are in the AFC and the Panthers faced one of them last week.

bench shi

So the passing game plan for the Panthers is to role out right or throw the ball quickly before Ekwonu bends his waist and lets a runner level the QB

Ekwonu getting killed in the passing game without inside help from BC

BC is a better run blocker and pass blocker than Moton. BC is a good run blocker and a much better pass blocker than Ekwonu. Moton was the best OL on last years OL with BC being held back and a line led by Elf or Paradis. Now it is Bozeman, BC, Moton, Corbett, and Ekwonu in that order. Ekwonu's pass blocking is just so bad he can't be elevated above the others based solely on his run blocking. OL would be even better if you had BC at LT, Ekwonu at LG, and Bozeman at C with Corbett pulling to the left side. The left side of the OL would be so dominant in the running game if they made that switch, and there would be better pass protection for 5 and 7 step drops with BC at LT. Not to mention you would no longer have to help Ekwonu and have an extra pass option going down the field. That's how I see it. Ekwonu is good at LT, but his pass blocking problems are obvious. He would be the BEST OG in the NFL without question.

Bozeman and BC BC needs to get more respect. He is the 2nd best OL on the line after Bozeman.

Playing Sam Darnold to win games like you would Cam Newton. Lol

Watch who is in Ben Johnson's ear during the game, pumping up that offense, and coaching up Goff between plays. It is not Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson is leaning on an offensive assistant coach.

Lions with a gift for the Panthers

Brown stood up, pushed back, and put on his back for the Lions 1st down. Never going to win against the run game on championship plays with Brown at DT.

Hunter Henry in 2016 who the Panthers passed on for Vernon Butler. He was actually early 2nd but we could have drafted him the 1st lol

Ian Thomas fail. Should be Dan Arnold, Shane Zylstra, and Jelani Woods if I had my way. Hold on to failed projects like Thomas way too long.

Zylstra and Arnold would have made a nice pass catching TE duo lol Wish we had a chance at having TEs like that for Darnold. Oh wait!

Luvu in pass coverage. Ouch

Used 3 draft picks on this easily replaceable WR. 2nd 3rd and 6th round picks. Definitely worth it lol. If he rejoined the Panthers after a 3 year break, he would be the Panthers leading active receiver in career TDs. He only played 4 seasons with the Panthers with Newton and Allen throwing to him. The WRs have been in a sad state for close to a decade. Way too much draft capital for little to no return. Finches will be worth more to and NBA team than any Panthers WR or TE is to the Panthers. Funchess and Benjamin would be upgrades at TE over Thomas, Tremble and Sullivan.

Yeah hindsight. Lol I'm sure that's what I'll hear in 5 years about my 2022 draft wants

Yes, this Panthers offense needs weapons. Gave away the only weapon the Panthers had on offense. I just sit back and watch as the offensive players I wanted to draft excel in the NFL QB: (Brady, Rodgers, Wilson, Carr) All active QBs I wanted to draft on draft day RB: Nick Chubb (over DJ Moore), Christian McCaffrey WR: Stefon Diggs (over Devin Funchess), Cooper Kupp (over Curtis Samuel), Jarvis Landry (over Kony Ealy), Garrett Wilson (over Ikem Ekwonu) TE: Hunter Henry (over Vernon Butler) I never get what I want. I have to watch my picks succeed while I watch the Butlers, Ealys, Moores, Funchess', Burns', Browns and Ekwonus struggle for years with incomplete games and fans who just keep hoping for them to break out and insisting it takes 3 to 5 years for them to finally make a franchise player impact. Moore should have never gotten an extension. Burns should not get an extension. Ekwonu should not be looking forward to an extension as a LT until he can stop his waist bending ways and show he can pass block speed rushers with the best of them. Same story at the start of the franchise. I never wanted to draft a QB in 1995. I wanted Beuerlein, Brunell, and Warner in the QB room (raiding the 49ers offensive minds). I was looking at Peyton Manning and Brian Griese being available later in 97/98. I wanted Randy Moss, Steve Smith, Hines Ward, and Torry Holt (never wanted the Gilbert trade) at WR. I'm sure I will continue to not get what I want with this franchise. My draft picks from 2022 were on the money again.

Refs gave the Giants the game on 2 consecutive plays. They threw a ghost flag when they nodded at the WR that he was good when he pointed to the ref... negating the TD. Then they choose not to call a blatant PI to end the game. Those officials should be banned from any big games and the playoffs.

Steelers split Brown and Burns to put the game away

Defense can't come up with a turnover or get off the field. Ugly
