They have no holes, their staff and personnel are all terrific, Loomis is a genius and if you don't believe me compare 2014 drafts with the Panthers even though they picked ahead of the Panthers, Brees did not regress, his best days are not behind him and are ahead, his contract is team friendly, they are not in cap hell, they did not have a losing record at home, they did not get lambasted at home by the back-to-back division champs and were not down 41-3, they have won more than one division title after a tainted 2009, they do not have a losing record all time to the Panthers, they do not have a losing record to the Panthers all time in New Orleans, the Panthers do not have more division titles, the Panthers did not win back-to-back titles and do not have the best young core in the division if not football, so all click your heels together three times and repeat "there's no place like home". 

 

Truth- the Saints odds are better that they'll be in LA or London before winning another division title.

about right for the Panthers.

 

 

Odds are about betters and not teams.  More people will put more money on the Giants, Saints and Rams than the Panthers. 

 

ditto - a lot of posters here (and people in general) don't understand this concept. Their (oddsmakers) job isn't to establish a "favorite" or "underdog" their job is to establish a fair betting line that will encourage gambling.

Just shows how a lot of people have a "yesterday" type of thinking.

Forget yesterday, try FOUR YEARS since they would have won a single playoff game as division champs, a wild card tilt against the Lions before Alex Smith carved them up a week later for over 320 total yards and 4 TDs!!! Loco, absolute, 100% LOCO!!!!!

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
