"We aren't built to come back in games"

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
