If Gano makes that 50-yarder against Denver in 2016...

... and Seattle hands the ball off to Lynch at the end of Super Bowl 49, then the Panthers would currently be on a 4-year streak of beating the defending Super Bowl champions on the road.  It doesn't mean anything since those two things didn't happen, but the Panthers do historically play well in games against defending Super Bowl champions.

This is a weird thread.

Probably is.  But, it dawned on me that we've beaten the champs on the road 2 years in a row, which is a pretty big accomplishment.  And, we were just a few feet away from doing it 3 years in a row and also a play away from doing it 4 years in a row.  I can't imagine there's been many teams at any point in time that could say that.

Insert your favorite "ifs and buts" phrase now, and I get that.  All the games involved were close games and could have gone the other way, so if we play those games again we could easily win the ones we didn't and lose the ones we did.  Still, it does say something about the moxie of this team that we've played well in those environments for 4 years running now.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
