If the Jets can pull off this upset, the Panthers can move from 6th to 5th in the draft.  Go Jets.

Ronald Curry, Saints QB coach: In one season he's coached Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian to a 7-7 record so far.

Ken Dorsey, Bills QB coach/passing game coordinator: Dorsey has been the point-person for Cam Newton and Josh Allen during their respective top seasons.

Josh Gattis, University of Michigan OC: Named the top assistant coach in the nation this year, Gattis has put together an impressive resume in just a decade in coaching.

Luke Getsy, Packers QB coach/passing game coordinator: He's been with Green Bay since 2019 and would be in line to assume the OC gig there if Hackett leaves.

Pep Hamilton, Texans QB coach/passing game coordinator: Hamilton has been able to guide Andrew Luck and Justin Herbert. Hard to believe he's not an OC right now.

Mike Kafka, Chiefs QB coach/passing game coordinator: The triumvirate of Andy Reid, Bieniemy and Kafka has the Chiefs' offense humming again.

Zac Robinson, Rams assistant QB coach: His only coaching experience is three years with McVay in L.A., but he could get some looks.

Bobby Slowik, 49ers offensive passing game specialist: He comes from a family of coaches and has had his hands on a lot in that organization.

Frank Smith, Chargers OL coach/run game coordinator: Before joining the Chargers he was the position coach for Darren Waller in Vegas.

Duce Staley, Lions assistant HC/RB coach: The former Eagles great joined Dan Campbell's staff this year and has been ready for an OC job.

It looks bad, but we are currently 16th in terms of draft assets.

IMO we tank next year. Trade off our assets, trade back in the draft to acquire future picks, let Rhule run this team to an 0-17 record, then cut ties. 

Start fresh with a new coach, loaded draft capital and a shiny new training facility. Time to burn it down so we can build it back up.  May have to say goodbye to some fan favorite players and fans in the mean time, but winning will bring fans back.

We have 1, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

 Denver and Buffalo seem to really like our cast-offs. Maybe we can flip him for a late rounder flyer in the offseason? Would at least help with the cap hit.  I am over the Darnold experiment. Keep Cam, draft someone who can learn behind him, fix the O-line, and get back into the playoffs. 

Can we talk about what really matters? What celebrity jersey is Chinn wearing pregame this Sunday. 

You have to pull Darnold here. It is time.

This guy has started at OT for an offensive line that is much better than ours.  He started over Cam Irving when he was with the Cowboys. He would, at the very least improve our depth. 

31-10 Panthers.

Panthers go into halftime up 14-3. Vikings score off a 3rd Quarter turnover resulting in a short field. Panthers respond with 17 unanswered points to seal it. For the first time all season, we leave our foot on the gas.

There is a Vikings bar here in Houston. Went and watched the Panthers game against them last season. Honestly, good bunch of people as far as I could tell. Well represented too. They had about 40 fans or so there for the game. 

It is being glossed over because it appears to be complete BS. 

Deonte Brown needs to be given a shot. I hope this isn't another Norwell situation where a clearly better better is riding the pine and the "veteran" is being given the go.  Lets see what the big brawler has! It can't be any worse, can it?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think moving Chin back to LB may be a great move. He is a fantastic tackler and play reader. He really isn't that good against the pass.

Any thoughts on how we're able to shut down the running game? Is it the d-line (I've seen Burns and Reddick very involved in run D rather than just existing as pass rush specialists), is Brown that good at clogging up the middle? Are our LBs playing like the second coming of the Three Horsemen (Luke, Davis and Thompson)? Big support from DBs and safeties?

Or is it just an overall explosion of motivation? The entire defense seems to take this personal that they will own the field. There are so many of them in on every tackle, very little standing around and being out of place. Playing with drive and desire.

Dang, this iteration of the Panthers has been long awaited!

Real unpopular opinion.  Bring in Cam to take over Goal line work.

I found a fantastic post on Reddit about hamstring injuries and average number of games missed.

Posted this in the other thread but

Hope to see this type of pressure continue. It’ll be interesting to see how a defense like this plays against Tom Brady who is known for quick release passing. 

That is amazing. Just got my tickets for the Thursday night game against the Texans.  Let's go!

Honestly, with how well we played the run, I feel we match up well against their offense.  Coming into our house as 3.5 point favorites. Time to shock the NFL. 

Good. Tecklenburg is easily the best center on this team.
