Is there another team.....

Is there another team that can match the Panthers intensely physical style of play. I think Seattle define can/did.

I feel one of thd biggest reasons we beat the Seahawks this season and have stood toe to toe in our recent games is the fact that when Seattle comes out and punches us in the mouth the Panthers come back as hard or harder, and Seattle is not used to that.

I think the fact that the Panthers excell in smash mouth, and physical play is going to win alot of games for us going forward.

Not sure. But that doesn't necessarily equate to wins.. in years past we've been a tough, smash mouth team too..  that never seemed to pull it through though.. we were similar to the seahawks this season..with the 4th quarter problems and not finishing games. 

 

This year, our execution has been huge.

I included the Rams because of Gurley and the D.  Gurley is pretty much as smash mouth as it gets with 30 carries last week (in a loss).  FIsher's teams are always tough and borderline dirty.  Cincy was just a possible because I haven't personally seen much of them but if Jeremy Hill hits a stride they can be in the conversation.

Good point.  I think CLG is right,  it doesn't necessarily equate wins but can definitely factor in.  Example? Dolphins.  Everyone knows that they have talent but were sucking,  with Dan Campbell bringing more physicality,  they looked the best they have this season.

I think the Jets probably.  Wouldn't say Rams or Cincy.  Cincy is a good team no doubt, wouldn't call them as tough as us.  Same thing with the Rams, they got some good defensive players...doesn't make them as smash mouth as us. 

this. Rams tried to play that tough man game with us when we played them last and they lost... Badly.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
