It actually might be a blessing for us.The problem with the Cardinals is they start to believe their own hype and then someone like the Panthers comes along and punches us in the mounth. That was an impressive show you put on yesterday. My hat is off to you, you kicked our asses.

Don't worry you guys will still get to the playoffs and perhaps the Superbowl.

This is why I keep telling people to not pay so much attention to records and stats, especially early in the season. Hell, the Panthers jumped a whole bunch of spots in rushing offense in one week. That stuff means next to nothing until about week 14 or so, and even then you usually have some losing teams that start playing better football late in the season and teams that started out on fire that tail off late. It happens every single year.

Like Fox says "stats are for losers". Does anybody really believe we have the best pass D in the NFL...and the Redskins are #2?

Well to be fair, the Redskins do have a very good defense all the way around. It's their offense that sucks. A lot of this stuff depends on who you play and when you play them too though. Plus, you have a lot of hidden yardage in lopsided games, like all those passing yards Warner had in garbage time last night. They still go on the stat sheet, but those yards meant nothing as far as the outcome of the game and they came against a prevent defense.

you cant argue with the fact we have fewest passing yards allowed

True but for much of the season teams didn't need to throw it they were gashing us so bad with the run. Also other than yesterday we haven't played with a lead much where teams are forced to throw it. Combine the two and you wind up overrated. The worst thing that can happen is for our secondary to start thinking it has arrived.

I agree stats aren't "everything".....but if you are at the bottom of the stat pile all season, come week 14 you can pretty much bet you aren't making the playoffs. I know it can happen, but it's very, very highly unlikely.

Probably the best test in the NFL next week. If we can somehow possibly, maybe slow them down we have a chance. The way to do that is to keep the ball out of their hands with the running game. Our first drive against the Cards and our last drive against Tampa Bay come to mind.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
