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?

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
