14 years...  This is according to Chris Rose on NFLN btw...  

Again, 14 years...  That is inexcusable.  Too bad Rivera and Hurney lack the guts to make the move that needs to be made.  Can't wait to see some more CMC direct snaps tossing it to Stew with 11 defenders in the backfield, or ANOTHER run on 2nd and 1, then again on 3rd and 2.

It's also the 7th time the Panthers began 2-0. Made the playoffs in all but one season.

Also the only team currently in the NFL whose opponents hasn't scored a TD yet on the Panthers. Last team that did so was in 2010.

Also one of 7 teams in NFL history to hold opponents in the first two games to a combined 6 points or less.

Also the first time in franchise history the Panthers shut down opponents by 3 points or less in the first two games separately.

Sure, Shula sucks, but we 2-0. Defense is amazing. Offense has potential. Lighten up.

I'm well aware of how good the defense is but, they won't be able to carry the offense all season.  I gave Shula plenty of chances during his time here and was hesitant to ever bring out the pitchforks and torches, but enough is enough.  His calls are predictable, he does NOT play to our strengths, and he rarely ever allows our offense to get into a rhythm.  Being 2-0 will afford him more time, but I'm concerned the pressure he is putting on the defense will eventually affect them as well.  He also isn't doing Cam any favors...

Olsen was a major factor in the offense his ability to pull LB or S in coverage freed up a lot of room underneath.  Saints defense should be a good opportunity to regather the offense.

What's more maddening is Cam's inability to  change the play calling for deep routes knowing a blitz is coming down.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that means the last game we won without a touchdown was the game against Tampa in '03 when Pep blocked the extra point. 

Yes that sounds right.  Funny how much better that win felt because it was against the defending SB champs in their home opener.

This defense can and if they stay healthy can really make a difference.   

But until Coach Klein (See 1998 movie Waterboy) I mean Shula stops being scared and opens the goddamn playbook and uses the freaking weapons he has our defense is going to wear the fug out.

Every quarterback should be able to read the defense, shift players, and change plays when getting to the line with 5-7 seconds remaining on the play clock.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
