This is a statement I saw quite a few times in the game day thread and has been trotted out a lot in the past.

 

Fact of the matter is, When you have a defense that can stuff the run and force three and outs late in games you always have a chance. Cam showed that 5th year poise late. This team is forreal. Shame on all who turned off the Cardiac Cats.

This team is breaking the mold when it comes to what the Panthers can and cannot do:

Can't win after a week off. False

Can't win in Seattle.  False

Can't come from behind.  False

Can't win when key players are out with injuries.  False

This team is more stout and deep than any other Panthers team I can recall since their inception.

They are proving themselves to be among the best in the NFL.

This team does honestly lack the explosive players like Smitty who can score on any play from anywhere...but we do have good ball control and mid-range game so to speak....Lots of players who can catch the possession type 10-15 yard plays.

very good post. I agree. 

 

I think it comes down to two key factors.

Cam in his 5th Year. Has full control of the offense. Has poise in the pocket. Can make plays with his legs.

AND

Ron in his 5th year as a head coach. Old ron would have ran it and kicked the field goal to take it to OT. 5th year ron went for the win and it paid off. Really had this team playing at a high level. Deserves a lot of credit.

Oh come on... we won today but we are NOT a team that can win shootouts. We aren't. 

We beat a very flawed, screwed up Seattle team which was awesome. Don't fool yourself into thinking we are the type of team that can do this regularly. We aren't Green Bay or Atlanta even in this regard.

Seattle had a mix of athletes that matched up well vs. our offense. Those speed rushers from all angles really disrupted things for Cam . Not many teams can present that challenge to our offense.

no one said anything about winning shootouts. The argument was we can't comeback in games. When you are down by 2 possessions in Seattle then come back and win you completely shut that talk up. We've proved an awful lot today

Exactly, glad to see some killer instinct after all those years of playing it safe.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
