Still gotta play the games. I've seen crazier things happen.

It is a must we go 4-0 heading into the bye, because the schedule after that is pretty hard (not as brutal as it seemed before the season, but still hard). Hopefully the Panthers don't take either team lightly. I'm sure they won't though, they are still division games.

Even if we go 4-0 the doubters will find a reason to bitch.

 

Kill me now.

This is true. I've already seen media types on Twitter say we're the worst 2-0 team ever. Next week we'll be the worst 3-0 team, then the worst 4-0 team ever.

 

I'd definitely take 4-0 with people still giving us no respect than saying we're a dangerous 1-3 team.

I don't care if they trash our wins, as long as we get 'em. I worry about winning the 1st four and losing the next four. We need to beat the Eagles and Colts at least, and I don't care how ugly the wins are.

And we'll be the worst 19-0 team ever as well.

Just a friendly FYI...  the 2010 Panthers were up on the Saints 14-13 in the Superdome before the Saints hit a FG to go up 16-14.  We also still had a last ditch chance at that game too.

Crazy things can happen in football.  The Panthers have a significant talent advantage, and without Brees it becomes even more.  But the Saints were the defending SB Champs at home in 2010 and we still gave them a much better game than we should have based on the talent disparity.  It probably was the best game the Panthers (especially of defense) played all year in 2010.

The Saints are playing with home money this game, and their season is in the balance.  I think eventually we wear them down and the game isn't overly close, but I expect their defense to come out fired up and the offense to pull out all the stops.

It takes a lot more to win in the NFL then just being "fired up" sure they will be fired up but their D coordinator and schemes as well as personnel still suck.

We beat them in the dome last season by 30 pts when they still had both Brees and Graham, we have them at home outside in the "elements" of being outdoor where they already struggle with mightily oh and without both Brees and Graham.

Yes I get the whole "any given Sunday" or "no bad teams in the NFL." Talking points but we have to face reality here

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.

      This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.

      BREAKING: Panthers re-signing Nick Scott

      By Achilles · Posted

      He’s a leader on this defense. Sometimes you need a guy because he makes those around him better. Talent wise he is a career backup but he’s part of the fabric of this d that’s already gelled.  If you bring in all these new pieces without some of the established leadership you have a lack of focus. This is a good signing.
