Lessons learned from the Patriots.

I'm not going to pat the Pats on the back for the SB win.  I am however going to give them all the props in the World for being as consistent as they have been for over 15 years.

 

Have said it many times, all I want is for the Panthers to be is consistently in the playoffs.  Like the Steelers, Pats, Packers, etc.....are.  You keep getting there, and one of these years you are going to be healthy at the right time.  Do it like we have been doing it, and it compounds your ability to win the big one.

 

What do the Pats do great?

Game plan.  Bill is absolutely the best at this.

Don't over pay guys.

Figure out what players CAN do, not worry about what they CAN'T do.  This is a fatal flaw in most teams mantra.

Consistently field a top D when it comes to scoring allowed.

Make in quarter adjustments...not over the half, not in game, not in season....literally they adjust play to play.

Somehow keep every damn division opponent from remembering how to play or coach football.

I'm calling us against the Patriots. Panthers have a way better team healthy than Green Bay or Dallas, and the only team competitive to us would be the Falcons imho.

 

You hold much more optimism than I do about this team. I hope you're right.

But Richardson wants to follow the Steelers' model of success. No, bitch NE is THE Franchise id do my damned hardest to emulate. An Owner who backs his QB, an organization that disdains losing, etc. When was the last time the Pats went 6-10? 7-8-1?

Right! It wouldn't surprise me if this is Rivera's last year with Carolina. TB is on the rise. ATL clearly is the team to beat in the NFC who happens to be in the NFC South.

Belichick and Brady aside. Here are off the top of my head what they are good at. Oh remove spying too.

They have athletic versatile players on both sides of the ball.

They get something in return when they let players go.

They aren't afraid to go with the hot hand and they rotate guys in so they get touches to at least get hot. 

They wrap up tackles.

They don't shoot themselves in the foot.

They don't get caught up in the draft hype. They draft guys that fit THEIR system.

Im sure I'm missing some.

So basically, they have better coaches.

No question Patriots are something special but I think you have to start with Robert Kraft.   

Patriots were a hot mess through much of the  80's and early 90's.  Then kraft buys the team.  Brings in Bill Parcells as his first head coach.  Replaced by Peter Carroll.  Followed by the Belicheat.    Kraft is also the guy who is not afraid to remind the commish who the commish works for (and this was long before Goodell).  To me Kraft is the reason for the Patriots ascendancy.

I love the Panthers motto "Keep pounding" but that's about emotion.  Basically says "we are underdogs but we keep trying".

Patriots motto "do your fuging job".   No emotion there.  Stone cold killer.  They know they are the poo.

Atlanta's "rise up" is pathetic.  Basically says "get up off the floor after the ass fugging you just took".

As much as I loathe the Patriots I respect the hell out of them.

I do like their "do your job" motto. If we all do our job, at the end we'll be where we need to be and have the result we're chasing after.

I saw Bill writing in his notepad early in the game when ATL was having their way, and knew they'd eventually get something going. ATL lost this, more than the Pats won it though.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
