Week 2 Win Against Bills: First Carolina Win Without a TD in 14 Years.

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.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
