Official Panthers - Colts Gameday Thread


Montsta

Recommended Posts

The officially official Gameday thread comes from the MFCEO himself, but until he finds the time between taking photos of scantily clad women, this busted ass version is all you get. 

Panthers (6-0) Vs. Colts (3-4)

Bank Of America Stadium

Monday Night Football at 8:30p eastern time

 

The Panthers have the opportunity to cement themselves at the top of the NFC with a 7-0 record, and control their playoff seeding destiny from this point forward. They would also be up a couple games on the Falcons who dropped a game to the Bucs yesterday (lulz you suck Matt Ryan). 

 

Keys To Victory

-Josh Norman must shut down T.Y. Hilton.

And he must do it for a whole 60 minutes. How often have you looked at your fantasy scoreboard and seen T.Y. with 4 points through 3 quarters and then the game is over and he has 26? No comebacks today. Plus I told my wife to sit Hilton in FF so if he goes off, it could make for a bad evening in the Montsta household. 

-Pass Rush needs to pressure Luck

Luck makes bad choices when pressured. I'm talking gas station sushi or me getting my LASIK surgery done through fuging Groupon bad. If KK and the boys can get to him, our second level will feast and this could get out of hand quickly. 

-Cam Newton needs to limit mistakes

I realize that it seems like 90% of Cam's picks come off of Funchess's hands, but even still, he needs to not turn the ball over. Too many games stay close because our offense gives the other team extra opportunities, and if those are limited, again I see this as a statement victory for the Panthers.

I am unofficially here wondering if this thread is the equivalent of tailgating for the real official game day thread?

Yes it is. I'm like a parking lot tailgate whore version of Igo. So he can edit when he's ready or delete all together when the real one begins.

I love your threads Montsta!

but...

If you ever get between me and a smitty basher again I'll do nothing and whine about to myself.

I actually feel like this is the opposite of a trap game if that makes sense... the team seems to have a different attitude right now to me.  Obviously some teams match up differently and all of that, but I see the defense coming out and tearing it up.

Yea, I agree. I don't really think this team is subject to the "trap game" this year. If we lose, it's because we didn't execute, not because we weren't prepared.

I'm really more worried about the receivers that aren't TY. We haven't really played any teams with more than one good receiver. Evans/Jackson is a decent combo if the QB doesn't suck, but TY/Moncrief/Johnson combo will show how good our secondary really is as a whole.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
