Just got around to watching the short Game Plan Panthers vs Vikings video at Panthers.com

http://www.panthers.com/media-vault/videos/Game-Plan-Panthers-vs-Vikings/5d44277d-03e7-4388-a4c2-65a75c87f44d

Wow, Eugene is pretty much rendered speechless by the play of Bradford & Diggs.  Sounds very very surprised (and a tad anxious?) about how good they were last week.

He and Szoke do go on to talk about how the Panthers defense can get to him and break up plays, but if Bradford & Diggs have games like last week, it could definitely by a tough one for the Panthers.  Seeing in slow motion some of the plays they made really has me impressed.

We need to bring our A game this week.

I would actually be more worried about Jerick Mckinnon. As long as the Oline give him a little, he is going to be difficult for you guys. He's an elite athlete compared to other NFL players.

He was raw in 2014 having only played RB for one year but has been working with AP for 2 years

I have to admit, their D-line is concerning.  If our O-line can hold up, then we'll have an excellent chance at a double digit victory. If not, it will be a long, grind-it-out, disjointed type of day where hopefully Cam and our big receivers can do enough to break their backs.

Stefon Diggs is a helluva receiver. I don't know that we can stop him. Getting pressure on Bradford will help. 

This game will hinge upon which D-line can wreak the most havoc.

OR it could be the kiss of every lasting life.

Let us hope.  I think a lot of folks are looking at the points Carolina has been putting up at home over the past 10+ games and thinking it is going to be hard for any team to keep up.  The LEAST they scored in Charlotte last season was 24.  I do think the Vikings will be a really good measuring stick for where the Panthers are as a team after the Denver battle.  The 49ers were a good bounce back win, but I don't think they are going to be very good at all this season.

Holy "you don't know as much as you think you do" Robin. 

 

Lol and the point is?  Even still going by PFF Luke was their highest graded LBer by quite a damn big margin last season.  Barr had like a 93 or something overall grade for the season... Luke had a 99, and that's only because they had to bring him down a point because the 100+ he actually had wasn't supposed to be possible.

Once again, according to PFF, Luke just had the greatest LBer season they've ever witnessed/graded.  They had him ranked as the 3rd best player in the entire league, including both offense and defense.

Citing PFF really isn't helping your case -- at all -- in trying to make an argument that Barr is the better overall player.

Better overall means better.  Period.  Barr isn't a better player than Luke.  In a hypothetical situation where a team is being built and it's between Luke and Barr... 32 out of 32 GMs in the NFL would pick Luke without a second thought.

I hate that everyone is picking us to win. I thought it would be a lot closer in the experts opinions. 93% on pickwatch is crazy 

I know what you mean.  I was shocked to see unanimous picks by PFF, and then all the media listed in the Panthers Pickin It article:

http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Pickin-It-Week-3/b928cc8e-8f01-40c2-bcc0-dcd1ea39c009

It's funny.  For so long we complained about the lack of respect....  and now we have it, but it still makes us so nervous as it it's some kind of curse.  Sigh.  Sports' psychology is definitely something I'll never understand! (And I'm speaking mostly about myself and my own double-mindedness as a fan more than about anyone else.)

Not saying the 49ers are playoff bound, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they beat the Seahawks this weekend. I hope they do.

I hope they do as well and it wouldn't totally surprise me either.  The Seahawks offense is offensive.  Their Oline is trash and with a hobbled wilson they will struggle to move the ball.  Probably will get Gabbert to do some dumb poo though.  The Hawks still have a stacked D.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      Brother you've been WR driven for going on almost two decades now.  No need for us to discuss further.

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.
