The Pats game was a shootout. There were just extremely long drives by both offenses

I can't say that I am thrilled with Shula but he isn't the only scapegoat in all of this. Plus I will judge his entire body of work and not rely on just 4 games, 2 of which were more on the players than the scheme

I am. But I was going to be fair to the guy until he proved me wrong.

Please stop advocating that not showing up.to home games is the answer. That is dumb.

Wish we had that field goal back from the first half.

It will be interesting to hear Cam talk about that pick. I am not so sure he wasn't trying to purposely throw behind Smith and Petersen just got his head around (and was holding Smitty )

Two things I am away from this, both are assumptions. This was no leaked on our side. And certainly not one of the coaches either. Most likely agents running their mouths. Also I view this as due diligence so that in case there is a coaching change we will hit the ground running to try and get our guy locked up before competition increases. Not necessarily that a firing is imminent. But to be able to act swiftly if we do fire Rivera.

Good post Zod. Panthers nation will always have a soft spot in our hearts for him. One of the best in his prime.

He is the Dell Curry of the Carolina Panthers

Cam and Ginn are still trying to get their timing down too. I think Ginn will get even better as the season goes on.

Do you really think this D-line is better than the Peppers, Buckner, Jenkins, and Rucker line? I don't mean that in a snarky, sarcastic way. I am sincerely asking because I don't know. It is a close call. Regardless, we have a beastly front 4 that is still pretty young and it will make this defense formidable for years to come no matter who is behind them.

I would say we could win all 4 games not should. 3 of those games are on the road and Minny is better than their record But we HAVE to win at minimum 3 of these games and would like to take all 4.

Check Check Check Awesome game all the way around

We cannot have a letdown in the second half

Who gives a poo we scored

For me, the key to the game will be: 1- sustaining drives, going for nothing but home runs will not get it done 2- win the turnover battle 3- front 7 stopping the Giants run game. Force Eli into third and long situations and force him to take chances and hope he makes mistakes

I need the Panthers to win this game. Been really a pooty week and from what I am hearing this next week is not going to be any better.

Until we are mathematically eliminated I am going to keep hope. You look at that and see that it is nearly impossible, I look at that and see that it has been done before. We have a window of opportunity coming up in October. But by losing to Buffalo put us in a position that we have to go 4-0 in October. So I am going to hold out hope until we lose one of those games. Regardless, Sunday is another incredibly important game if we want to have any chance. I am just trying to stay in a positive frame of mind (pretty much unsuccessfully because you keep reminding me how bleak our chances are )

Let's discuss this next week if we go 0-3. Right now I am planning on 1-2 so let us know who the last team to make the playoffs with that start.

I know. I mean on offense specifically. Against Seattle we probably didn't take enough shots down field, media gets on the coaches a little for being to conservative So then they were like "okay then, let's never get under center and only throw down field" Just figure out who we want to be and be the best at it we can be

I just want to know who we are and what to expect. Are we going to pound out victories on the ground or are we going to chuck the ball down field just hoping one or two long TD catches are made? I can't believe that after three years we still don't have an identity. We don't know who we are. Sometimes I feel like this coaching staff is like some of us fans, if we lose they are like "Change everything!!!!" And I understand why. Last year they waited to long to make adjustments and it cost us so now they are in total helter skelter mode. It sucks.

It may not happen immediately but if we fire Rivera it needs to happen before the end of the season so we can get the jump on some college guys (if we want to go that route)

Good thing there is only two cameras at this game.

Finally we are opening it up and throwing down field...... every play
