Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs believes Panthers have a shot at 16-0

"They will have a chance for this reason: they are not winning it by skill plays or getting lucky on stuff," the Hall of Fame NFL coach and current Sprint Cup team owner said on Thursday during a NASCAR media event in Las Vegas.

"They are pounding people. Sometimes, when they don’t play as well, they beat you up. They have a good defense. Defense always leads you. They’ve got a quarterback making all kinds of plays. I think they are going to be hard to beat."

Here and there you hear media types talking about the Panthers, and the ones that have watched all the games, they know, you can hear it in their voice. They know this is  just one of those teams that has it. Even over the Seattle team from 2 years ago. Maybe over the '09 Saints. Nah, that was a done deal... Oh yeah, they know this team is special and is winning Superbowl 50.

This was a fun read for me given that the only other football team I've ever been remotely this crazy about was the Redskins under Gibbs from 87 - 92.  Gibbs was such an awesome head coach and had my deep respect.  I appreciate his words about this year's Panthers.  It means a lot coming from him.  I appreciate too his honesty, not pretending that he's now a Panthers' fan, but still obviously deeply respecting them as an organization and a team.

Hated him in Football, Hate him in Nascar, Hated him again in Football, Still hate him in Nascar.

He said a nice thing about my Panthers, Thanks.

You'll always be just another Foreskin to me.

Learn to separate things, bro. When a HOF coach says he believes a team is going undefeated, it has some merit worth appreciating. 

ffs.

certain people in sports, unique to us all, strike us in such a way that you just don't care for them or what they have to say.  (Tom Brady, Roger Godell, Bud Selig, Chris Burman) My use of "hate" is hyperbole and sports related at most.  Still doesn't change my opinion.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
