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

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.

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

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.

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 :eyeroll:

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.

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

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
