I should have thought to post this sooner, perhaps in the game-by-game prediction thread.   But since that's now moved to page 2, I thought it would be worth posting this as a stand-alone topic.

There's a reason the Denver game has a lot of us nervous wrecks this week....  not only does it dredge up all the awful memories of Super Bowl 50 that most of us want to forget, but Denver is our toughest opponent this season in terms of the Panthers historical record against them.  We're only 1 - 4 in the past 21 seasons.

You can click on the table and then zoom in to see a larger version.

Note: these totals include regular season AND post season games.

We REALLY need this win to get the Denver monkey off our backs, and to start the season with strong positive momentum.   It could be equivalent to our win vs. Seattle last year in terms of setting the tone for the season and making a statement that we aim to win it all.

Let's go Panthers.  KEEP POUNDING.  Let's trounce those ponies BIG TIME.

Looking for the run game to set the standard for the season. Can you do stats for Panthers win when they run the ball effectively?

That is really astonishing. On the overall chart, the Colts are the team we have beat up most regularly at 83.3% winning percentage. The Steelers and, believe it or not, the Bills are tied for whooping us most regularly, as we win only 16.7% of the games played against them.

Great work KB!

I spent some time looking at our past 5 years of opening games, in which we're 2-3  (Losses: 2011 - 2012 - 2013, Wins 2014, 2015)

The Run game is a big factor in the wins.  It's not so much the yards / attempt, but the number / % of running plays.  Running 30+ run plays (approx 50% of offensive plays) seems to be a key to our success.  

Our week 1 games tend to be low scoring affairs on both sides of the field.  Clock control is important....  A few 10 play drives / 5 minute drives were big parts of our wins in 2014 & 2015.

I'll write more on this in the morning, probably as a separate thread or a main page article...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
