That Packers #26th ranked Defense...

They are amoung one of the worst ranked defenses we have faced in the league. We “should” be able to move the ball on offense. They let Cleveland hang 21 points and take them into OT today.

However we will almost certainly be facing Aaron Rodgers returning from his IR hiatus. Our Defense will need to get to him early and keep him out of rhythm. 

Also, I kinda wish Tony Romo would call this game with Rodgers returning. We would be hearing PTSD flashbacks live on air from when we took Romo out of the Thanksgiving game in ‘15.

If Rodgers is %100 he will torch this secondary with ease, he will remind everyone why he’s the best QB in football.

 

This is the only game remaining in the schedule I’m not confident in what so ever 

I'm worried that the Packers will be very rejuvenated.   They are still a big long shot for the playoffs but they have met their goal of being 7-6 when Rodgers returns.  If he's back we will need our best effort to win.  This defense's performance against Brees this year does not have me optimistic for their ability to stop Rodgers.

A good Panthers team should always be feared in December, the way they stifled an elite Minnesota team today who would've had at least 2 more touchdowns w/o the defense showing up I'm not worried about the last 3 games, they'll take care of business at the stadium and they probably don't even need to beat Atlanta to make the playoffs, but will go for the w anyway to get the division crown (N.O. has to lose another game for that to happen of course).

Weren’t you one of those that said Carolina would lose 38-10 to the Vikings?

Actually we played Brees very well. It seems like people forget the punt return fumble, punter turning the ball over, Peppers penalty and Matt Kalils 30 yards of Face Mask penalties and Funchess stone hands in that game.

those plays,.. the game was a lot closer than the score.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
