The Gambling man and doubling down

If you have even visited a gambling table much you will eventually understand every gambler looses. Lady luck is a fickle mistress who makes you feel on top of the world or crushed under it.

This is exactly how the Carolina Panthers have operated for more than a year. We have bet the farm that our defense and offensive would hit the jackpot at the right time in the game without any adjustments. Well the devil took his due in the Super Bowl and now we are doubling down. A dangerous trend is happening and as Kenny Rodgers said "you need to know when to fold them" and walk away.

No longer can we keep expecting the big play. It's time to play small ball and get ahead of the count. We have a team that can get a lead and that's important. After that we need to adjust and keep that lead. We need to stop looking for more jackpots because they are just a mirage. Let KB and Funch eat up space in the middle. Let Tolbert, Fozzy, and Cap get you 5 on a screen. Cam if it's not there tuck the ball and get 3. So long as you are moving forward your not moving back. When you gamble you always lose eventually so we need to play smart and sound from now on.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
