Honestly they have been blitzing the poo out of teams the last two weeks....we aren't all that great at it but it has worked pretty well on occasion.

It honestly does look like they are getting tired even when we win the ToP battle...doods need to run more.

When I say "Prevent Mode" I'm not talking about the defensive side of the ball. When your whole approach to offense changes from what's working just because you're ahead, you stop pounding. 

Dude.....we didn't play any semblance of "prevent" today.

none what so ever.

We changed our approach because they changed their approach.  It would have been dumb to not do so.  We started blitzing more because our defensive line started having trouble getting to Rogers.  We were being extremely aggressive, perhaps to much so.   We were playing with more db's, but you  have to do that when the offense is throwing on virtually every down.

Yea, I wouldn't say we went into prevent mode. In fact, I don't think we did really.

What happened, was because of our defense's inability to stop the Packers...not even making the Packers have long drives and burn clock/TOs, or offense was suddenly put in a position that if felt it NEEDED to score or at least move the ball.

That is not our team. We were BUILT on defense. It is up to that UNIT to not put our offense in bad spots where they feel as though they HAVE to score because you can't get off the field.

Given our lack of talent on offense...that is asking way too much of them. Our "elite" defense should be able to hold 23 point 4th quarter leads without the offense feeling threatened.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
