On Sirius NFL this am they were discussing why all NFL for the most part are against the new OT rules.

Both the Bengals and Panthers played 5 full quarters last week. Both teams showed absolutely nothing from the very first snap on Sunday.

Now we would have been beaten regardless bc of our D being a bad matchup but the playing a full q more than any team the week prior didn't probably help things

Doesn't explain why the defense looked it worst in the first quarter and gradually improved. If fatigue is the reason, they would have gotten worse as the game went on.

Maybe GB just eased up considering it was over at the first quarter.

Looked more like Rodgers had resorted to trying to get as many people stats as he could as the game went on and his emphasis was on just spreading it around for the sake of that.

I don't think he even looked at Jordan Nelson after the first q. Too easy to do that

If this was the first time we had been blown out this season, I would have agreed with you. But we've seen this poor showing week in and week out. Besides, didn't Rivera give them lots of time off practice or something like that?

Well I made sure to note we would have been beaten soundly regardless....

But at least in some other beatdowns like Pitt we were in it for chunks. This game was over 10 minutes in

Started in New England in the preseason, but we all dismissed it as an aberration.

I think this had a big impact on the Panthers getting blown out.  The Bengals/Panthers game was grueling on both teams. At least the Bengals were at home and only had to travel a few hours west to Indianapolis the next week, but they got trounced worse than the Panthers.  Going into next week, the Panthers starters only played 3/4 of a game and get to play at home against a Seahawks team making two cross country trips in a row. Things should turn around...right?

Do what? Pretty sure both teams scored 37 points apiece. To say that "both teams showed absolutely nothing" is asinine!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
