We are more disapline imo. We dont choke at the end i feel like we finish better. More experience.

plus i think we will get it together here defensivly soon. We dont typically have good starts. Best start in a long time this season folks. We will build up steam and finish strong.

Green Bay was also really fuging good that year.  They just picked a bad day to have a bad day against the Cinderella Giants 2.0 in the playoffs.  I remember facepalming at all the drops they had that day.  That bye week + week 17 rest seemed to really fug them up.

 

They dominated like everyone on their way to 15-1 IIRC.  Other than their one loss, I think that game against us was like the only real scare they had all year.

People seem to forget this is the best start we've had here in years. Those two ass whippin's we took at the hands of Balt and Pitt really hurt fan moral.

In the skill positions there has been a significant downgrade.  The OL was fairly good in 2011 and has since broken apart, fallen apart and regressed to a shell of an NFL OL.

 

On D there have been upgrades to the flashy positions and if you look at the starting roster you'll be impressed.  But, the NFL D of today is not centered around this starting depth chart.  You need depth on the DL to rotate your players, you need at least 3 above average CB's and at least one very good pass coverage LB or very good FS.  The SS position is becoming the most important position on D and you can't scrape the bottom of the pan for this guy.  So while the D has got better talent on the top end the bottom end is weak.  This is also very important for sub packages and schemes on D.

 

The Panthers are a better team today because of a few players then they were in 2011 but they are not more successful team because the lack of quality talent in key positions and depth.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By rayzor · Posted

      seems like he wasn't quite himself when he came back from landing on his head. like his confidence wasn't 100%. hoping it is, though.  we've got a lot of potential here. i really like our TE room right now. RB corps is stacked. WR doesn't look too shabby either. and we are going to see some good things from BY too.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.

      That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
