Opinions: Can this team beat Philly?

Recommended Posts

Not going to make a prediction, but the answer to the original question is: Yes.

This Panthers team can beat Philly.

Fact is the defense and offense played well enough for us to beat Wash.  Turnovers were the difference.  Plain and simple.

I think play calling, clock management, focus, and energy need to improve.  But...look how we played against Cincy after the ATL loss.  This team can learn from this performance and improve.

I don’t like our chances on the road.  Clearly, this team has way more focus at home.

Philly is well coached, but still trying to smooth out some rough areas.  A great team with some rough edges...just like the Panthers.  The team with better focus will win.

Philly has the edge coming off a win, having a few extra days to prepare, and playing at home.

I respect your opinion, but talk about over-confidence

Playing in Philly isn't easy. Eagles may be heating up.  Don't know what the hell we are doing besides shatting the bed at the worst times. Can they beat the Eagles???...be honest 

The panthers that played last week?  Nope.  Last year, game 3, we lost to the Saints 34-13.  The Saints were 0-2.  The next week we went to Foxborough and beat the pats (who later, again, went to the superbowl).  We can beat the Eagles.  Not if we scheme the same, or make the same fuging mistakes as last week.

Well—- I just think about Colonel Klink and Brett Favre,.. how Minni was real stiff in the beginning squeezed out some games they should have lost... 

until Klink loosened up and gave Brett the football instead of driving the offense through Adrian Peterson— they should have beaten the Saints and would have beat the daylights out of the Colts,..

the point is, maybe this is the week after the debacles last week that Rivera allows Norv to drive the offense through Cam instead of through CMac,...

or not and Philly kills us,.. Ron is hopefully fired Monday morning and we can win the suck bowl the rest of the year for best picks and coach,..

As I said during the Skins game our zone is as loose as a wizards sleeve. Wentz has no trouble throwing into tight coverage, let alone our shitshow. I'll be stunned if we beat the Eagles.

Poe's ass is now the size of a small moon, and KK and Luke don't look worthy of their contracts. Part of the problem is that we had to use the draft to restock at WR and DB, rather than loading the d-line with pass rushers. Throw in a fortune to the Kalil brothers and you've got a hot mess.

The positive side? The defense is more confused than bad, so as the confusion dies down the play will improve. Samuel, DJ, CMC, Cam, and Olsen will all continue to improve as the season moves along barring injury. We finally have speed on offense.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
