Panthers at Patriots - The positive thread...

Panthers have their backs to the wall. 

Unlike last week, Cam Newton is not listed on the injury report. Cannot underscore enough how important that is. 

CMC and Stewart totally healthy against one of the worst run defenses in the league. 

We dodged a bullet with Kelvin Benjamin, he 100% and will start. Devin Funchess has actually looked decent so far this year. 

Shepard was open all day last Sunday, something I am sure was pointed out to Cam in the film room. 

 

On defense,  Worley is out.. This may end up being a blessing in disguise if Seymour can come in and improve the play on that side of the field. 

 

Throw in the fact that they met with team ownership this week and appear to feel better about the whole situation and perhaps the Carolina Panthers can come out and play like we know they can.

Honestly, I will be really optimistic if we can keep it to a one-score game in Foxborough.  I do think we can win this game, and we have the type of team that should (similar to KC).  

But if we can go on the road and show some improvement on Offense and normal defense, then that would make me feel a lot better.

If the Panthers D can force Brady to make some mistakes, it’ll be a game. On the final drive against the Texans last week, Brady was strip-sacked (recovered by the Pats) and almost threw an INT (dropped by the Texans DB). The Panthers must capitalize on mistakes like that to have any chance at a win. And also not make any mistakes themselves.

We need to play smash mouth turnover free football. Smack them in the mouth on both sides of the ball and try to win this game 20-17. 

And let's see if the defense can actually get a take away this week and set us up with a short field.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
