Panthers 1-5 vs division opponents in 2016

Recommended Posts

One of the most troubling stats of the season. 1-5 against division opponents is unacceptable. The Panthers were 5-5 against non-divisional opponents. 

Would you say this has more to do with the Falcons, Bucs, and Saints getting better? Or the Panthers getting worse? Or both?

They wanted it more.  They hate our franchise.  They HATE Cam.  They were tired of watching us win for three straight years.  It all matters as football is an emotional game.  

The earth will resume in it's normal Panther on top axis for a LONG time in 2017, for many reasons.

We should've been 3-3 at the worst. There is no reason why we shouldn't have swept Tampa. If we had all of our starters in both games, the result would've been much different 

Perfect that we're picking 8 and they're picking 19 and will have a tougher schedule next year to boot.  Fools.  They can have those two meaningless wins.

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. We did absolutely nothing to get better in the short term this past season. 

Yep. And as much as people want to lay most of that on Ron Rivera, our GM should be shouldering the bulk of the responsibility for this season.

Other teams can improve too, we took it for granted.

Not to mention the kicker that we made one of the best paid in the league in the offseason singlehandedly cost us 3-4 wins this year.

My takeaway:

@ Atlanta - Having to start Sanchez out of necessity since our secondary was banged up meant we lost that game before it even started.

Tampa - DA the Buc killer instead became a turnover machine. Gave it away.

@  Saints - Always hard to win in the Superdome. We won last year only because we had the ball last. Not this time.

Saints - The one win that didn't feel like one because of what happened with Luke

Falcons - We tried holding on but the talent gap proved too large. 

@ Bucs - Cam tried to outsuck DA. A successful two point conversion meant a win that not many here actually wanted.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
