Does This Team Really Have What It Takes to Make a Playoff Run?

[Pantha-kun]

Our defense has been exposed in many games by the likes of the Jets and Bucs. We've been at best inconsistent and at worst piss poor in pass coverage and with the offense sputtering every game with bad playcalling and execution.

Aye I"m very glad we won this game but its hard to be very positive about this teams prospects in the playoffs. Pretty much any team can throw on us and throw deep, that is a horrible weakness to have.

I’d blame our defensive performance on wilks. Can’t expect to think that blitzing near every third down will work and offenses won’t pick it up and adjust.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Absolutely 

[PanicPete]

Wat....

 

We just had a multi sack multi turnover defensive performance and geld a pretty good offense(11th in league) to less than 20 points. Our offense is ridiculously inconsistent....can't convert on turnovers, leaving points on board, odd playcalling, run game is a wildcard

[WOW!!]

We need to add some WR's fast..

Seriously what was that. Add bad tackling.

Injuries in our receiving corp are starting to pile up

The Carolina Panthers are probably the most unpredictable team in the NFC...and possibly the NFL.

I could see us playing in the Super Bowl and possibly winning it depending on who we played.

We’ve beat several teams with .500 records this year including some of the cream of the crop (New England and Minnesota). We were also competitive against the Eagles before Wentz was lost for the season.

I could also see us a 1 and done if our offense plays as poorly as it did in the Chicago loss and the game today and the defense doesn’t hold up on the back end.

I hate saying this, but you never know which Panther team is gonna take the field each Sunday, and that’s why it’s so hard being a Carolina fan

Yes

So why’s didnt Luke change the play?

[jfra78]

sometimes yes sometimes no

I think this like Chicago was just playing down to the competition. The team has shown up against the big boys except for the 5-6 swing plays that through both Saints games.

the team will rebound to playoff form next week again Atlanta.

Disagree, the game plan was actually good today, it took some hail mary voodoo bullshit today.  Atleast 3 times I remember a near sack, winston scramble then chuck a duck.  Those ducks more often than not end badly, Winston managed to go blemish-free in those ridiculous plays.

 

Cam Newton is good enough to drag us along if Shula gets out of the way.  Every single time he was in a rhythm, shula would suck the air out of the ball and grind the ball with McCaffery.  Secondly, was Stewart injured?  what about CAP?  I saw no runs on their part, especially no productive runs.  We need Turner Back, but we can definitely make a run.

This team finds ways to win. We have had multiple injuries and haven't fielded a healthy team all year.

I liked everything you said up to this. I don’t find it hard to be a fan, unlike NeedSumD.
