He is the literal GOAT and defending champ. those are national shows. We have won 5 games the last 2 seasons. The masses would change the channel if these national shows devoted too much time to Carolina.

Beating the Texans while losing CMC/Horn?

Losing CMC is bad news for the Panthers and Darnold. It is what it is. Losing CMC changes what defenses are comfortable with….and we saw last night they get a lot more aggressive coming at Sam with the CMC checkdown off the table. and we dodged a lot of bullets last night that those Sam fumbles bounced our way.

Robby isn’t in Carolina just running deep verticals though. Yeah, they might scheme up one or two per game….but that isn’t why he isn’t getting the ball IMO.

the Sam to Robby connection IMO was never super strong. Robby had a 53% catch rate when targeted by Sam in NY. It’s 45% this year. DJ, Marshall, CMC are all 70% or higher

Game ball has to go to the center. He recovered both.

Chubba is 3 games in to a rookie year still getting adjusted to speed of it all. Behind a OL that doesn’t open holes. I got no worries about him. It really doesn’t help that eye test goes from watching CMC’s magic…to then Chubba. It’s a built in unfair disadvantage. But he needs some work on the juggs machine. I think his feet will stay under him with more reps and getting comfortable.

Hubbard is a rookie in his 3rd game…

I would think so. Greg Olsen came back in the same season from a break in his foot

even if they get it…I hate this call. Go up by 10.

Nice play. For those keeping score at home….Joe Brady has his first nice play call in the redzone

Robby Anderson has reverted to being NYJ Robby. Basically means like once every couple games he will catch a deep vertical. Yet we just paid him all that money…..you would think he would be bigger a bigger part of gameplans

DBO sign must have been thrown in the trash. Because every other play the D is making dumb penalties. You can’t lineup in the neutral zone 57 times.

That’s a makeup PI call for missing Horn

Darnold has a long history of fumbling though. It’s haunted him since USC.

yeah, I put that on Rhule. Texans have the mo….asking Sam to drive the field with no time is asking for trouble. Was totally predictable. Lucky we landed on that fumble.

Nah, this is just the Panther O minus CMC syndrome. You take CMC off the field and no RB can make plays and defenses get more aggressive. Not really a shock.

Think we need to roll with Freeman. Game looks to fast for Chubba still.

fair or unfair, I probably list those other 4 ahead because of the postseasons giving them bumps. In addition to great regular seasons they had deep postseason runs with Carolina.

Joey Slye revenge game is back on

this just how things go early on.... tune into ESPN this time last week and people were claiming Winston could make a run at the MVP. Rodgers should retire. Trevor was having a Peyton rookie season. week later, Winston is trash again, Rodgers is being Rodgers, Trevor might benefit from sitting. we see the same thing happen on this board as seasons evolve. Last year, Robby was better than DJ, Teddy was awesome, Samuel was a waste. Couple weeks later everything was the opposite.

2015 squad lead the NFL in takeaways. Which tied them for the 3rd highest takeaway total of the decade. And they set up that offense in a manner no other defense has done in Carolina to date. Then to top off that regular season....they had 11 takeaways in the playoffs. 11 takeaways in 3 freaking playoffs games. and you don't get to toss out what they did in the playoffs just because 2013 didn't make it past San Fran. you can disagree, it definitely isn't absurd.

that 1964 team never lost

Manziel was small framed gunslinger. Wilson is a lot like that IMO.
