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.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
