Official Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots Gameday Thread

 

Two Diametrically opposed teams are featured today. 

 

DEFENSIVE TEAM RANKINGS (YPG)

1. Carolina Panthers

32. New England Patriots

 

OFFENSIVE TEAM RANKINGS (YPG)

1. New England Patriots

28. Carolina Panthers

 

Bill Belichick had a cameo in a dream I had last night. Yes, he was nude and carried a fiddle. He explained to me what the Patriots would do in this game. 

1. Defensively they will sell out completely on the run. He told me they unconcerned about Cam Newton throwing the ball. 

2. Wait for Shula to get frustrated and abandon the run, thinking passing the ball will somehow be better. (it won't). 

3. Panthers are now in a shootout with the Patriots in Foxboro as the Patriots' defense stays fresh from numerous Panthers' 3 and outs. 

4. Third quarter will feature a fresh NE defense and a tired CAR defense. 

5. Ballgame 

 

Prediction - 

Patriots 27

Panthers 13

 

I was horribly wrong last week (as were all of you sons of bitches). Hopefully I am just as wrong today.

Bill Belichick will run circles around our coaches. We'll show some life in the 1st half and keep it close, then Bill will adjust at halftime and it will get ugly. Let's just get through this game with no injuries because this poo is getting ridiculous.

I expected us to lose this game before the season started, but the Pats have looked very beatable this season. They’ve been blown out and barely beat a rookie QB. Their only convincing win comes against the lowly Saints (I know I know). I think we get the upset.

I consider myself to be a realist....and my gut is telling me that the Panthers show up and show out in a big way today.  The team is ready to make a damn statement against a team many think are superbowl contenders.  Cam will have his best game of the season, and will remove the chains from his legs and rip apart the Patriots on the ground.  The defense will hit Brady often, forcing him to make mistakes.  Fug the haters...we will be 3-1 by 4:30 today.

1. Use PA and rollouts to get Cam moving and in rhythm. Use layered routes 

2. Now that defense has worry about PA & QB scrambles the run game continues to gain consistent yardage.

3. Panthers take the lead by end of the half with a  8 min drive & wearing down the Pats defense. 

4. Panthers D is fresh and forces Brady a turnover by the LBs . The offense continues to run the ball and score at will.

5. Gameover suckers 

Panthers 31 - Pats 21 

 

J-Stew 100 yds 1TDs

CMC 100 yds 2TDs

For some reason I could see us bringing them down to our level and winning a very ugly and boring game.  

20-17 Panthers, with a defensive score. Huge win over a top team but still gives us a ton of reason to worry about our offense (putting up just one TD and two FG against the worst D in the league) and the Huddle continues to panic.

    • I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties. 
    • The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina. 
    • I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
