I have two areas of concern.  Oline and Dline.  I think our secondary can hold up but I'm not sure we get much of a pass rush.  Oakland's Offensive line is solid.  The name Kony Ealy only strikes fear in the heart of the nearest hotdog stand, because eating is the only thing I can imagine he's put any effort into since the superb owl.  And then there's Ryan Delaire, A.K.A "Flash in The Pan" that runs himself completely out of the play or spends his time laying on the ground acting like he's making snow angels.  Cam is gonna do his best to win this game on offense even with this patchwork Oline that is as porous as a collander.  If we win, it will be on Cam's shoulders.  I'll go with the optimistic 27-24, but not because of our defense.

tbh the slow starts hurt more than anything, it took 6-8 weeks to start gelling. Offensively, the Oline is the biggest problem. Cam just doesn't have time. It's all on the defense, and they realized it and stepped up. Now if Shula will just call plays to help Cam out.

 

 

 

oh yeah. Gettledouche something.

We need to get more physical on both fronts period.

As long as the offense can put up 20 points and shut out the opponent through 3 quarters, they will always keep it close.

Does a defense that must not give up a TD in the first 3 quarters to have a shot at winning in the 4th quarter give you hope?

The Panthers have given up 44 points in the 4th quarter in the past 3 games. Does that give you hope?

The Panthers need to be happy they have 4 wins in 10 weeks with the way their defense implodes on itself in the 2nd half, and definitely collapses in the 4th quarter.

The Panthers have won 3 of their last 4. Does that give you hope?

I love this team, I'll never root for us to lose for draft picks like some fans, with the exception of 2010(sorry).....

But, no, I have little hope. The Chiefs loss ripped my football heart out because we were building momentum, dominated them for three quarters, and then proceeded to sh*t the bed 2011-2012 style.

Why do I have such little hope? Injuries, our offense is only good for one half, and for as good as our defense has been over the years with McDermott we have had one consistent problem that nobody talks about. We are not a "closeout" defense. A lot of games we win come down to hanging on for dear life. And that's the lack of a consistent pass rush since Hardy leaving and lacking the impact Safety this defense needs.

Nah, watch the scheme closely and join me in crying out for a stud at Safety. Coleman is fine....as a centerfielding FS. But I'd kill for Jamal Adams in the 2017 draft.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
