Why the Panthers Will Win on Sunday.

We do this every week, but this week I feel like we have the better matchups. Wouldn't it be fair to say the the Saints offense is better than the falcons? Outside of 2 big plays (blown coverage and a missed tackle), the Panthers defense held to. Technically, had Williams not fumble, we may be having a different discussion. But lets focus on the next game. The Panthers Defense will shut down the Falcons. The Panthers will once again run the ball all day, and the Falcons defense will fail, because they aren't as good on defense as the Saints, or us for that matter. Jake Delhomme plays his best games against the Falcons, just like earlier this year. Jake will surprise some people on Sunday, Panthers win 27-10.

We are just as good as, if not better than Atlanta. I just worry about the energy they'll have, after the emotional let down in New Orleans. I mean, they win the next four, they're 7-5 going into a possible upset game in New England. But they have to get over the loss to the Saints, and re-focus every inch of energy into this game against the Falcons. Here's hoping they can do just that.

I think we can win. But honestly I could see something similar to last week happening.

Our superior rush offense dominates them in the first half, defense holds them in check. Then once ATL adjusts after half time, Delhomme will hold the offense back, we won't be able to score, thus letting the defense down as usual. Then eventually the defense gets tired. And you guys know the rest.

As many times as I've been to Charlotte for this game, I've never been fully confident that the Falcons would win. This game is no different. Williams and Stewart worry me big time. I think Fox will try and ram the ball down our throats to take some of the heat off Delhomme.

I think we will stop carolina's rushing duo and Turner will run wild because TD is not there to stop him which is a huge loss for the panthers. I think Ryan will be better this game, I just hope we get after the quarterback like we did against Washington.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
