PANTHERS INACTIVES WR Shi Smith CB CJ Henderson CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III RB Royce Freeman LB Kamal Martin G Pat Elflein DT Phil Hoskins

Win winning cures all and that’s in 80% of nfl stadiums Rhule and company have to start winning at home or at least not being out scored badly The new owner ruined the stadium atmosphere as well and that’s a fact. Kids used to show up in droves to get a football from Newton or to see Luke. Now, well…there are on ground level suites sold to the opposing team where those balls used to be given away. it’s all about soccer with ole Dave

Good for you. I couldn’t go today. Will be back for Washington Stadium atmosphere isn’t the same but it is still live football and that’s great reason to rejoice with CMC back, I suspect a Panthers win as Bellinchek will focus on him and DJ hopefully Tremble and Marshall make the most of it and also the defense has controlled aggression Panthers 24 Pats 21. One defensive TD. it is very hard to think of Rhule out coaching Bill but this is on the players

Frankly, with as much real life not necessarily good stuff happening, he should be thrilled anyone has any opinions about the Panthers it means they still give a damn. When they stop talking, is a different story

Have you really seen how small he is? dear lord

Of all criticisms of Rhule, some fair and some not, sticking with Walker and not getting a serviceable backup is inexcusable

Two things with Bellinchek 1. He will take advantage of the aggression of the panthers defense, his OC will do a lot of misdirection, screens, end arounds. Delays after panthers penetrate ..ie, throw where they aren’t Gap integrity and holding the edge will e huge in this game 2. he will put 8 in the box and a man of DJ and say, ok, score He knows PJ will be on a short leash The TEs could have big games for both teams as I said in another thread, the Pats aren’t world beaters but they are a smartly coached team. Can Rhule and staff match, who knows I guess we will see frankly, I’d rather they stay with the oline from last week vs putting Efflin back in there but it is what it is

Tell me again about the personnel philosophy of your favorite coach in NE?

People are treating the Patriots like they are world beaters they aren’t they have some nice, young pieces. they have a world class coach expect Bellinchek and his coaches to go to short passes, misdirection, reverses, letting the panthers defense rush and throw were they are not to use the Panthers aggression against them Extremely important Panthers maintain gap integrity and hold the edge expect Rhule to run even more and ask PJ to scramble and throw it away vs crazy ass throws creating turnovers pj plays way way too fast he is also small so hopefully he understands sliding and getting out of bounds Bottom line. the defense will be ok The two questions in this game are 1 can the panthers oline repeat last week against a better coached team and film on how they use the running schemes 2 can Rhule and coaches adjustments hold against Bellinchek’s one thing that concerns me is the personnel groupings all but spell out what the offense is going to do The question then becomes can the Panthers still execute anyway or are they smart enough to change it up I don’t the answers I hope for a Panthers win

Well now, I guess it’s step up time for the backups and the coaches honestly, mccaffrey is becoming an urban myth

Damned miracle. No way in this world should he not play Sunday. Come on

I’m hoping the defense comes to play shut that running game down and come after Jones, you know the QB the Panthers weren’t high on they should certainly be able to stop and they coached him on walker, he is much too small to take any hits I mean he looks like high school jv out there He also plays much too fast I don’t think he has ever read more than one look since I’ve watched him his best asset is he played for Rhule lol bur hey, backups win now and again …why not him

…and then, one of our rushers get hurt, a d viola, there goes another draft choice for another rusher I don’t know. Sometimes, just leave it alone

God, let’s hope Rhule isn’t that stupid as a NFL Coach …losing, not a good look particularly at home

What do I know ? Don’t lose at home Want attendance and enthusiasm, don’t look like a walking, talking pile of pig poo at the home stadium if it’s PJ, coach him up, send him out there, even if he is some crazied, energizer bunny on speed

Yes, I did However, Truth is, nfl guys like guys who help them win but also guys that help them meet their individual incentives in Their contracts and that just a fact of life Got to be able to consistently throw the ball at the nfl level, no matter what We can’t go back to a single wedge because of Sam’s propensity to turnover the ball It would be great in all ways if he lives up to his potential and we can laugh about all of this and say ‘I was wrong’. I’d love to do that.

Time will tell im not happy he was the choice and some of that goes to the preponderance of bad qb decisions before him, some is his history, and some is the general let down of going from a superstar to someone who is far less in stature he seemed to read the defense very well yesterday. He made plays with his feet, he didn’t pout over being benched, he went about his business, by all accounts his team mates like him I guess, the bottom line to me is, he is here until he isn’t so at this point, I’m making the best of it. If that means multiple shots of Jim beam fire when he and Brady and the oline and the receivers screw the pooch, so be it it might not fix anything but I’ll feel better about it

I’ll say this, if Blaine Gabbert has a job in the nfl, so can Sam.

Any given Sunday…, too, if we can’t go, if we stop one of the others, it’s a win ….keep New Orleans at home is a pretty good consolation prize

Is it Wednesday or Thursday ?

The thought of PJ playing against a Bellinchek defense Jesus. Take the wheel

Well, if they can be enough effective to have the threat of running, that helps play action, and that helps a poor line and a shaky QB, buy a second or two and in today’s NFL, that second or two is huge

I would to hate to see it, more for Cam then any Panthers fans’ feelings love the man but he needs to retire. Gotta be hard to still be young, top,athlete and have a shoulder that can’t function he doesn't need to be punch drunk at 50 either and he may very well be with the head shots he has taken

Really? Good Lord, his hit the ground and bounced like a tennis ball

florio said they took Winston to the hospital during the game for mri said results were significant injury
