    Arizona is not a bad team at home. On the road they are very different. Tampa is 0-3 at home so far. However they have played teams close though. They lost by 1 to NO, 3 to Arizona and by 11 to Philly. So expect a tight game at least in the first half.

    That is the thing. Who couldn't like Beason? He worked for everything he got and was the heart of the defense for years. He was a pro-bowler and play maker. My feelings have been one of sadness that he hasn't recovered and might never be anything but a shadow of his former self. It has been painful to watch him play and realize he has lost more than a few steps. I hope I am wrong and he comes back 100%. But both the achilles and micro-fracture injuries were potentially career ending. It reminds me of Stephen Davis, he came back from micro-fracture but he never played as well as he did before. If work ethic can make the difference then he has a good shot to come back. That was never in doubt. At least New York gives him the best shot to start.

    What I am fine with is people having an opinion and stating it no matter how off the wall or wild. It doesnt mean I wont debate it or say why it is wrong. But you can still say it. I just dont think their defense is that great. As for will it be close, I said as much in the first half. I dont think we win by more than 10 points given they play better at home. I Just think our defense will be better and we will be better on offense.

    I am fine with wild predictions I just think people dont realize how bad Palmer is especially inder pressure. His Qbr under pressure is like a 25. And he will be under pressure all day

    29 points would be their largest point total of the year against a team that is giving up 12 points a game. I don't see them getting to 17. I also don't see us getting more than 24 unless we score a bunch in the second half. It will close in the first half but we will pull away. Still Palmer is not a solid passer nor is he that smart. He gets rattled easily and throws picks often. He has 4 TDs and 6 picks and a 69 passer rating. Lets be serious here.......

    If Ginn gets 40 catches for 600 yards and maybe 6 or 7 TDs that would be fantastic. That doesn't make him a 1 or even a 2 but given his return abilities that makes him a pretty potent weapon.
  7. panthers55
    Ginn is going to have a break out season. He leads all our receivers with a ridiculous 20 yards a catch and 2 TDs on only 7 catches. He has as many yards as Smitty (143) on 1/2 of the catches (14 versus 7). 6 of his 7 catches have gone for 1st downs. Frankly I want to see him get even more catches going forward. A guy this fast and elusive needs to get as many touches as possible.

    Who is saying we will beat down anyone. But you act as if they have a better defense than us and they don't. Total yards or even yards per play or yards per pass are really not important stats. The only things they shows is that their offense sucks so badly that the defense is on the field all the time and in poor positions so they give up points The only statistic that counts is points scored for and against. They are giving up almost 22 points a game while we are giving 12. So regardless of the total yards we are giving up10 points less than they are. That is the point, our offense will score more on their defense than their offense will score on us. Who gets more yards is never reflected in the score which is how the game is decided.
  9. panthers55
    I will take 3 yards a run and 6.1 yards a pass play which is what they are giving up. We should win handily.

    The whole we can't run because they have the third best rushing defense is often overblown. The second best run defense , Arizona, gives up 75 yards a game and the 19th best run defense, San Francisco, gives up 109 or 34 more yards. Even using the yards per attempt metric, Arizona gives up 3.0 yards per attempt and San Francisco gives up 3.5. Not a big deal. One of the reasons the defenses we played ranked so low was because of us. After Sunday Arizona will fall out of the top 5 because of us. They haven't faced a top 15 rushing attack. Instead they have faced St Louis (32), NO (25), Detroit (21) and Tampa (20)
  11. panthers55
    They average giving up 22 points on defense we are averaging 12. I would take that as a final score.
  12. panthers55
    The whole recent notion that this is a passing league and therefore good running attacks aren't important is negated by the fact that 6 of the top 10 rushing teams made the playoffs in 2012. And 3 of the four teams that played in the Championship games last year were on this list. The other Baltimore was 11th on the list.
  13. panthers55
    I don't know about the last team to go 1-2 and make the playoffs but in 2005 that is how we started and we reached the NFC championship game.
  14. panthers55
    Godfrey was a big blow but most of the backups got starting experience last year. I have not been impressed with Thomas at all and Norman seems to have reverted to playing 10 yards behind receivers. I am not sure if the backups are worse then the starters.Problem is that the more I just posted the more you might be right.

    I think Cam needs to combine his last 2 games. A great short passim g game with shots downfield. It makes safeties play deeper and opens up the ground game which makes play action work which opens up the seams and longer routes. Agree on the 30 points. Eli has also thrown 7 picks in the first 2 games. I would love to get 3-4 more.

    If anything you posted above was even a point of discussion then you might have something but it isn't. Why not stick to what people are saying rather than making things up so you can right about something and posting juvenile pictures about what you either do or hope to do. And if that is your level of conversation, then you are still right, you know nothing.

    If the avatarand picture are indicative of your skills sets stick to food. Food you know. Football not so much.

    So much fail in this post. shula did a good job calling plays. If anything Cam was conservative not Shula. Second Rivera is under contract through 2014 so he cant be a lame duck coach. He picked Shula for continuity and he got that. Newton played well albeit conservatively. We didn't want interceptions thinking it would be low scoring. Problem was no one exspected turnovers in the run game. Williams who rarely fumbles did so twice. Special teams also killed us. Mistakes cost us this game not Shula or Rivera. Anyone could plainly see that.
  19. panthers55
    The reality is Cam wasn't the Cam of old who threw the ball often to the wrong team. He was the one that was conservative not Shula. He said so himself. Secondly on third and short most any football guy will tell you that you don't go around the end where lots of problems occur if the ends are crashing in. You keep it simple and go off tackle. As for speeding up the game it cuts both ways. If your defense is gassed and you go into hurry up you better get several frst downs otherwise you put the defense back out there with no rest . Or you do what we did which was slow down the callplaying to give your defense time to recover. I don't think we were confident we were playing well enough to use the hurry up and not cause problems for the defense.

    Yeah you have to figure we game planned for Seattle like we will for Buffalo. I just hope it results in better coverage or Buffalo isn't as good. Either one is fine with me.
  21. panthers55
    That was last year, I don't know how good Seattle will be this year. What I do know is that we did not attack the receiver when they entered each zone in our zone coverage and we surely didn't play enough man coverage which was likely caused by our emphasis on stopping the run. Hopefully this won't be a consistent issue because guys like Brady and Brees will eat us up, which surely isn't the small stuff.
  22. panthers55
    I thought the secondary was not good at all. They allowed too many people uncovered. I think it might be scheme. They would put one guy out wide and 2 guys in the slot and we tried to cover the 2 inside guys with one corner five yards back and Godfrey 15 yards back. The linebacker wasn't covering them past 6 to 8 yards given the focus on stopping the run. We just weren't fundamentally sound. That needs to get fixed. Can't give them more than a C-. How many passed did we break up or intercept?
  23. panthers55
    It isn't obvious or even causal. Preseason is not the same as the regular season and the goals are very different. Furthermore each year is totally different in terms of what has happened the past 2 years. In 2011 we had no offseason, a shortened training camp and we were installing everything new including a rookie quarterback with little college experience. Everyone in the know were clear that the hardest transition would be for teams like the Panthers who were having a complete fruit basket turnover. So really last year is the only year where your theory would even apply. In order to have a body of evidence in order to support your thoughts, it would take at least 2 years which hasn't happened. So at this point your premise is clearly not obvious or even germaine. If they start off slow this year you might have a point. Until then though, it sounds more like chicken littling and whining after 2 preseason games.

    Tons of them. Can I help that both times the pittsburgh fans were from SC and they did live in trailer parks? I guess that is what happens when your seats are in the upper deck.

    Who said that South Carolina fans aren't loyal? And yes I have been to plenty of bobcat games including the playoff games. Lighten up Francis!!!
