That was a playoff atmosphere out there today

I think this game was good for the Panthers.  Yeah we kind of took our foot off the gas and made it closer than it ever should have been but that doesn't take away from my point really.  That crowd was loud.  That team was playing like it was the playoffs because for them it was...they lose (which, spoiler alert, they did) and they are out. It was a one and done type game for the Giants and they brought everything they had.  The multiple dust up between players was evidence of that.  

But the Panthers persevered.  That's what you have to do in the playoffs.  You have to have that mental edge that doesn't let you quit.  The other team is going to make plays and the question becomes "What are you going to do about it?"  In the past we would have folded up.  We used to lose games like this ALL the time.  Now we're winning them.  You have to win games like this in the playoffs and we've proven this year that we can.  

I don't think we'll get the same kind of fight from the Falcons or the Bucs though.  They're pretty much done so I don't see them bringing the kind of intensity that the Giants brought today.  When we get in a tough game in the playoffs, and we will, we can look back at this game and have confidence that this team knows what to do.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
