Not feeling the excitement

I will be honest, I am very nervous about this game. Not just because it’s the reigning NFC champs but because we have not seen anything to give us confidence, especially on offense.

- Offensive Line:  don’t know if the OL will be able to hold up and give Cam or CMC any time to throw or holes to run through 

- Cam’s health: will we see any lingering effects on his movement Can he throw the ball 30 times a game?will he be able to withstand the inevitable hits and pressure from their DL

- Offensive chemistry: this offense has looked awful and we don’t have enough veterans (other than CMC or Olsen) to think they can just flip the switch 

I want to believe we can win, but just not feeling optimistic we can move the ball.

If you're a fan of the Carolina Panthers, you should be used to tempering expectations either way.

No point being miserable before the game even starts.

In terms of longevity throughout the season though, winning at home will be crucial. Last year we were pretty ugly at BOA, moreso than in years past for sure. If we can flip that around and stay healthy we should be fine. We also need to start winning games against the Falcons, especially in Atlanta. They've had our number for awhile now.

I have zero expectations going into this season yet somehow ready to be disappointed. You could tell me we finish 3-13 or 13-3 and I would probably believe you.

I think we’re at least a 6-10 team even with Grier or Allen at QB. 3-13 would shock the hell out of me. That is seriously fuging bad and we have some really easy opponents.

Other than Aaron Donald, are any of you really worried about an older Clay Matthews, and the all hype Dante Fowler Jr (4 sacks in 2018), and Ebukam their anticpated starters / edge rotation...

Dante Fowler Jr. the last 4 seasons

  • 2, 2, 8 (back in 2017), 4

Then Clay Matthews the last three seasons

  • 5, 7, 3.5

Samson Ebukam in two seasons

  • 5 TOTAL SACKS (2017 & 2018) aka his career

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
