I would tend to agree that our first-round match-up is not ideal. However, if we are able to make the proper adjustments (Huddle buzzword!) and come away with a victory, I think we match up well with every other team in the NFC besides the Falcons which would be a toss-up but would be at home. Tell me I'm wrong!

Yea, I'm pretty confident our hardest possible matchup is the first one vs the Saints. Anythings possible if we manage to pull out a win this Sunday.

Hell I think Saints are a harder test than the Pats or Jaguars . Probably the Steelers is the only other team on that level that we match up really badly with.

Stewarts going to have to turn in another virtuoso performance ala vikings or dolphins game imo. if he sucks running the ball its going to force us to throw predictably on long downs and make the game near impossible. Stew and Turner are huge factors in this NO game. 

NO has a mediocre run defense but they have great cornerbacks and secondary. I think this past game vs the Falcons Shula was getting too cute with his playcalls and we were passing way too much when it simply wasnt working. hoping he emphasizes power running to open up the passing game a bit.

I didn't guarantee a Super Bowl victory because the only match-up I fear more than the Saints is a rematch against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Obviously a longgg way away but if we beat the Patriots twice in one season no one could challenge our supremacy and being a worthy champion.

Honestly... I hate to say it (if we lose) but I think the winner of this game goes to the Super Bowl. I'll take Cam/Rivera or Brees/Payton playoff experience over the Vikings (Keenum) and Rams (Goff and a first year HC younger than Brees) 7-8 times out of 10. I don't see ATL or Philly having any chance at all of making the Super Bowl.

I agree the winner of this game is likely going to the Superbowl. But that winner is probably going to be the Saints. All the other teams have inexperienced garbage QB's except for Matt Ryan.

The best thing that could happen is to get the W against Aints and get Payton all flustered but I wouldn't press my luck.

Couple of their fans are talking with their views on this game.

"They got a bounty on us"

" If the Panthers can prevent Kamara from making big plays, we could struggle in this game. Payton needs to come up with some new wrinkles for this game to get him in space. Carolina is coming in with a grudge and highly motivated. We are going to need our A game to win this match up. "

" Sounds to me like they are going to resort to Atlanta style head hunting. "

" As long as the crowd noise is deafening, they have no shot. "

 

"I think they will be determined to no let Kamara beat them which means they will sell out to stop him. If that's the case, I certainly hope that Payton has more than a few plays where Kamara is used as a decoy. I'm not saying not to get him the ball but with them keying on Kamara, using that to our advantage has to be key."
 
" I would love to see the fake screen on one side to Kamara and then hit Ginn with a screen on the other side! "

Maybe we should use same type of set-up Bucs used against Aints even though that will not happen.

 

" A good strategy the Bucs used yesterday was to double team Cam Jordan. With Cam out the picture none of our other Defensive lineman applied pressure consistently. It felt like Winston had loads of time when we did not blitz.

George Johnson seemed to do okay but showed why he does not have a lot of total sacks in his career. There was some pass rush but it was not consistent.

The question is what do you think is the best option to boost the pass rush? Blitz more? Does Trey Hendrickson or Kasim Edebali boost our pass rush?".

I think it'll be between the winner of this game and the Vikings and it'll be close. That'll quite likely be the NFC Championship game, and while the Vikings are a great team this year, like you said Brees/Cam and our coaches' playoff experience compared to the Vikings' will be a huge factor.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
