It’s no secret, the Panthers have been more lucky than good this season. Let’s start with a crucial drop by Bills WR Zay Jones in Week 2 at the end of the game. Lucky penalties at the end of the game against the Patriots to give the Panthers a first down on the final drive of the game. A windy day at Tampa In the first game leads to an off day for Jameis Winston, despite having wide open receivers all game. A critical drop by Julio Jones against Atlanta hands the Panthers a win. Panthers get to face a rusty and injured Aaron Rodgers, who still almost beats them. Cam Newton fumbles a snap at the end of the game against the Bucs and still scores a TD. 

The ball has just bounced the Panthers way this season more often than not. In 2016, luck seemed to be against the Panthers. With a black cat as a mascot, luck seems to be a fickle mistress for this team. So let’s all appreciate this season, because 2018 will most likely be rough when the luck turns around again.

Actually like the "fickle mistress" comment.  You arent all wrong here but shet happens.

Congrats buddy !! You have the dumbest post of the year . Merry Christmas 

Yea, a post about how lucky this team has been this year is so dumb....this is not a good team, it’s a lucky team. Next year, like 2016, is probably going to be a rough season. Add on the Jerry Richardson situation and the sale of the team and who the hell knows where this team will be in a year. We have to appreciate this season even more because of all the bounces the Panthers got this season because that pendulum is about to swing back, hard.

Claiming luck is why football teams win is pathetic, and shows a surprise lack of understanding of the game. Good day with your miserable comprehension.

well considering our offense should be considerably better with a healthy samuel back alongside cmc with more experience and whatever draft picks/fa acquisitions we'll likely add, i could argue we'd still be competitive.

 

you arent accounting for injuries. There's always multiple injuries every season , if the last 2 years have taught you anything , its that you are very very very lucky to have all your starters healthy for a full season

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
