Panthers must contain Turner


Rod Butsecks

Recommended Posts

(By David Scott, [email protected]) The last time the Carolina Panthers saw Atlanta Falcons running back span class=boldMichael Turner/span, he ran over them for 117 yards and four touchdowns.p/That came in a 45-28 victory by the Falcons against the Panthers in the Georgia Dome last November, somewhat of a typical game for Turner in what was a breakout season for him.

This is not an accurate statement. It would help if the Panthers slowed Turner down considerably but look at what the Dolphins did to him and the passing game with the addition of Gonzalez was still efficient enough to get the job done.

Yes, we know. The Falcons are an unstoppable force, if we contain Turner, Matt Ryan will throw for 400 yards... Blah.

Wow a bit touchy aren't you? All I am saying is that if you stop or slow down Turner that doesn't mean that you are going to win.

Turn down your sensitivity volume little whiney man.

You may not get your ass kicked Sunday....wait and see.

You wait and see, you better hope that Jake doesnt snap out of it and throws less than 4 interceptions.

Well he didn't throw four interceptions last year when you guys came to the dome and look what happened then. I was at that game and we controlled it the whole way through.

I probably have more faith in Jake then most posters here do. I think the guy is a good QB that wants to win.

The flacon fan is right guys. This team under fox is notorious for allowing atlanta tes to kill us. Remember crumpler drilling us early and often, always getting first on thrid. Then they would bring in duckett and just shove it down our throats.

Said this in another topic, I really believe we will plan and bottle up turner, what scares me is gonzo and his drive to prove his self. Why I dont know, but I can tell you he was nothing short of amazing against the phins.

What about when you boys came to Charlotte last year and we whipped that Buzzard Ass.

These Falcons fans are going to be eating a ton of crow when the Panthers win Sunday....and they WILL win.

I was comparing the similar situations. Carolina coming to Atlanta just as they did last season.

It's really strange to me this year because I expect Carolina to be a good team this season. After a few weeks I am sure that you all will have your act together. I think Jake just having a very bad game to start the season has thrown everyone into early panic mode because nobody was expecting it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jake has a good game against us although I am hoping that he doesn't that way Carolina feels pressured into making the wrong move and sends the team into turmoil for the whole 1st half.

What happened? What is your excuse for why your better team didn't win?

Did someone mention crow?

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
