Pivotal Game on a short week

I am very wary of this game on Thursday. It has the potential to either make or break the season. The past couple weeks, the Panthers have seen an increasing number of injuries, some top players out for the season (Davis, Gross). A number of others have missed significant time (Godfrey, Muhammad, Hoover, Rosario). Is this injury trend going to continue, especially because of the short week?

If the Panthers can get through this game injury free and manage to WIN, I would be excited about the rest of the season. But I have this worry, that with the trend we've seen recently about injuries, might catch up to the restless Panthers. Here's to an injury free game!

Injuries happen and you can't predict them or avoid them. Many are fluke plays like Gross's injury on Sunday. Short weeks don't cause them. All we can do is try and create whatever depth we can and hope guys step up to fill the holes when players go down. We have a chance to win the next 3 games and get above 500. Hopefully we don't have any more season ending injuries but the bottom line is that's football.

Its a short week for them too. They are facing injuries to key players as well. If they (the team) want it bad enough..........they will go take it. The Phins want it...........I assure you, and they aren't gonna give it to us. We are gonna have to take every game from here on out by desire, force of will, and the determination to dictate the game to every foe .........every game if we want to be successful. We have to set the level of intensity. If they match it.........we take it up two nothces. Its all about heart from here on out. That and the coaches have to start playing and planning to win, and stop playing not to lose. We have to bury our opponents. We've been in position to do that, but we decided to play prevent defense, and offense. Attack damnit........ATTACK!!!!!c!

Two 4-5 teams with great running games, decent defenses, critical injuries and unfamiliar with each other. We need the win a bit more than them I'd say(seeing as he NFCS is NO's) and we have home field advantage. This will be a game where the little things count. ST and turnovers will determine the winner.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
