Realistically we are only 2 games out of it, that's how bad this division is.  I've just learned my lesson on getting my hopes up for miraculous turnarounds.  Our upcoming schedule is pretty tough.  We have you guys, New England, Oakland, NYJ, and Indy again.  I have a hard time seeing us finishing better than 5-11.   If we win out in our division (not bloody likely) and steal one from the Jets or Raiders (or Panthers lol) AND the Colts fall apart then maaaaaaayyyyybe we could sneak into the playoffs with a 7-9 record a la the Seahawks a few years back.  It's a hell of an uphill battle though.  

Yes it does look tough, but your rookie QB needs to see that the organization will continue to try to win despite the odds. Who saw Luck's injury happening and opening the door for you? Raiders are an injury away also, since they're not deep. Jets have a QB? Are they time-sharing that QB with the Texans? And so on and so on. Hell, DeAngelo Williams might be calling up Mularkey and spilling his guts about us since he's mad about us not coming to his Mom's funeral in the off-season last year then cutting him this past off-season. Just never know.

They're really going to be down 1-3 CB's? How did that work out for the packers? 

Jason McCourty was officially ruled out today. Perrish Cox and Blidi Wreh-Wilson are limited in practice today, but they both could sit out with hamstring injuries, especially with Tennessee playing next Thursday night. I could be wrong, but that leaves them with Cody Riggs, UDFA, Coty Sensabaugh and  B.W Webb.

McCourty is officially out.  Perrish Cox and Blidi Wreh Wilson are questionable I believe.  BWW is truly awful so he's no big loss.  Might be beneficial to us if he's out actually. 

So, if we can keep the pressure off cam, the big play potential will be there

Most definitely.  If there's one thing we've done consistently well this season though it's getting after the QB.  Of course Cam presents a rather unique challenge.   I trust Lebeau to put together a solid gameplan against him it's just going to be a matter of whether or not the players can execute it.

Yeah, that's why I said to keep the pressure off him.  I know you guys have done a great job getting to the qb.  The offensive line better be ready to battle

I've said it a bunch, but really our chances in this is all going to boil down to the OL.  If they get dominated then it's going to be a long day and I could see a blowout.  If they can play at a respectable level then I think Mariota can have some success with the quick passing game and we just might make it a ballgame.   For the record I am not optimistic that our OL can holdup. 

That's pretty standard for all teams, very few cam overcome terrible Oline play. There has to be more to it than that. If we prepare properly, then I see us winning undoubtedly. New HC with little to no film on is an advantage to you.

Dick LeBeau is the wild card for me.  He made the Steelers D for quite a number of years.  This is just the type game where he has a plan to disrupt what we are doing on offense.  Granted, he will be innovative in blitz packages, but he does not have the great ammunition to work with like he had in Pittsburgh.

I can see the Olines ultimately winning or losing the game this Sunday.  Our Olines transformation has taken us from a .500 team to one of the unbeatens.  Mariota is going to do quite well in the NFL, but in his rookie season, and with a terrible Oline, he will only be able to show flashes of what he is capable of.  If either QB is given all day to pass, the die will have been cast.

I am more of a realist and would never get on a website and talk down another team.  Numbers tell me that Panthers will win a close one.  30-24

He definitely doesn't have the talent he had in Pittsburgh's heyday.  But don't sleep on our front 7.  Jurrell Casey is a beast and would most likely be talked about as one of the best D-linemen in the game if he were on a more relevant team.  Derrick Morgan really seems to have taken a big step forward in year two of this switch to the 3-4.  He and Orakpo are really getting after the QB.  I'll give you the defense doesn't look intimidating on paper, but regardless it's working. 

We're 3rd against the pass and have 22 sacks, but we absolutely can be run on.  I think getting Stewart going will be key for you guys in this one.  Of course Cam brings that x-factor himself.  I was listening to Greg Cosell talking about this matchup on one of our local radio shows and he was saying you guys run more different formations and groupings with your backfield than any other team in the league.  Our defense definitely has their work cut out for them.

We had a kickass lead at halftime against GB and look what happened? I never underestimate teams...when you do, that's when you lose.

 

What does you, as a fan, under or overestimating Panther's opponents have to do with the Panthers winning or losing?

 

At all?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
