It's not going to be easy. Their #1 defense is leagues beyond the #2 defense (Seattle?). I think Cam is going to see things he hasn't seen before. However, our coaches have & will have him prepared. Wade Phillips is a heck of a d coordinator but he's not new to the game.

Denver has not faced an offense like Carolina's all season long. 

 

The Panthers have faced offenses like the Broncos offense numerous time, only they don't have to worry about passes over 20 yards. 

 

This won't be a close game.

I'm thinking something like 4-5 interceptions for Manning. This defense is so damn opportunistic, and Manning throws a beautiful duck.

Manning may even get to have a standing ovation as Brock comes in with the game out of reach.

I don't know. The Broncos defense is pretty damn good. Easily the toughest defense we will have faced this season. One of the best overall defense over the last half decade. I don't care what you say. Watch them. They're nasty.

The matchup to watch is their offense vs our defense. If we can get up by a couple scores early, Denver has no way of crawling back into the game with that offense. I'm not predicting a blowout. I think we win 24-13 or so with the game never really in doubt. 

If they double Olsen, and contain Cam then they have a very good shot to win.

Denver has fantastic players at CB and on the d-line. Von Miller is on another level, that guy is a freak. We're going to need to make shutting him down a number one priority. 

The rest of their defense is solid/pretty good but not ALL-Pro level. 

Not turning the ball over, and most importantly capitalizing on drives were we get into the endzone will be absolutely critical for our offense. 

I still maintain it is our defense who needs to give us the clear advantage in this game- i.e. creating turnovers

lol Lots of coffee already? ;)

You brought up Denver's defense's ranking, not their offense. So that's what I posted about.

I said it won't be easy. I didn't say it would be a close game. Or even that they would win.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
