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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
