Carolina gets blown out twice a year under Ron Rivera

2011: vs. Titans (3-30), @ Saints (17-45)

2012: vs. Giants (7-36), vs. Broncos (14-36)

2013: @ Cardinals (6-22), @ Saints (13-31)

2014: vs. Steelers (19-37), ?

 

The trend so far has been one blowout early in the year, and one late in the year.  After every blowout early in the year, the Panthers have rebounded to play a much better game, but didn't win following a blowout until 2013 (vs. Rams after being blown out @ Cardinals).  

 

It will be interesting to see how the Panthers respond after this blowout.  Sure, they got blown out, but it wasn't like they were outclassed by the Steelers.  They were due for a bad game after a long run of really great games.  This just follows the trend and it's better to have this happen and be 2-1 than 0-3.  The future is still bright, but I hope the Panthers can recover and win a big road test against Steve Smith and the Ravens (who the hell thought I'd be saying that last year....?)

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the 2nd blowout comes against the Saints at the dome. It'll be the Saints or Cincinatti

 

I thought the game against the Bengals was a good candidate for the first blowout of the season...this Steelers game surprised everyone.  I thought it'd be a comfortable Panthers win given the Steelers porous defense.  Seeing Cam get stripped by a three man pass rush says the offensive line is in big trouble this year...

Of course, I hope were done with getting blown out for the season. I trust that Ron and Sean will get their def fixed. I really don't know what to think about the OL, and I am worried about Cams health the remainder of the year, because he's going to continue to get hit.

Most teams, even good ones get blown out once or twice a year, or lose to a team they shouldn't.  Not always, but usually they have a really bad game and either get blown out by a decent team, or lose a game to a team they shouldn't have.

 

No room for error in NFL and we had plenty of error and the Steelers did not for the most part

With that O-Line there's not a doubt in my mind Derek Anderson will be starting a few more games for Carolina.  Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Cam suffered a season ending injury.  Most of the guys they have starting on the line would be backups or not even make the roster of other teams.

Funny, because I was thinking about that Titans 2011 game last night.  They rushed three and dropped everyone back the whole game just like Pittsburgh did last night.  In the Giants game in 2012, we gave WRs way too much cushion like last night and rarely brought the blitz.

No no, it only happens to us.  ;)

In truth, about the only team last year that didn't have at least one really bad game was Seattle.

yeah, Cam will not survive the season at this rate.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
