"You need to pay attention to the Panthers"

We have left points on the board in both the Jets and Taints games.  We have to be able to convert 3rd and 4th and 1 yard or less.  Brady has to have plays in his book that don't include running up the gut or off guard...we can't do it. 

If it's that obvious to us, I'm sure that the coaching staff recognizes it, too.   Either (or both) blocking personnel changes, or using play-action in the RZ, should fix things.

Houston has surrendered 21 to lowly Jax, and 31 to Cleveland.  I have no doubt we'll be able to put up 30+ against them.

We have all seen this before. Young team on the rise, having fun, then the growing pains of being on other teams radar. Its a really fun journey. 

It feels different this time to me.  Before, when we came out of nowhere to be good for a season, it always was a flash in the pan.  I think we all thought 2015 was the beginning of a dynasty, but that was not to be.  This time, it seems as though we are building things from the ground up, the right way, to be contenders year in and year out.  Maybe we can FINALLY have back to back winning seasons?  IDK...I just think with the way they are constructing the roster, with the GM and Front Office guys we've got, with the Head Coach and Coordinators....it seems like we're finally doing things the right way.  Im so excited for the future.

No more overlooking this team from anyone. 

Not quite yet.  That'll happen if we win the next 2 games.  Right now, the talking heads will probably chalk this one up to the poor depleted Saints' roster, and of course, the Jets' win meant nothing.  When the "experts" come out with their revised Power Rankings, I doubt we'll move up to the top 16.  Which suits me fine.

I'm not referring to the talking heads.  I talking other teams.  To hell with what the media thinks or says.

I felt like a homer predicting that we would win a close game against 4 time NFCS division champions who just beat the tar out the Packers.  We blow them out leaving points on the board.  

For the record, I did not pick against the Panthers in the Yahoo Pick Em contest.

And if the board shows that I did, it's a frigging liar

This is me, as well.

Add in the fact that we will probably have very good field position if the defense plays like they did against the Saints. Texans with a rookie QB in his first start. I honestly would be very upset if we didn't score at least 30 on Thursday night.

From Albert Breer's latest MMQB...

And now, they’re a few days away from, potentially, going into a Week 4 showdown in Dallas on extra rest and with a 3–0 record.

Whoa. . .tap them brakes Big Al.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves.  One game at a time.

 

But it is going to be nice to have a few extra days to prepare for the Cowpokes.

Agree with you (as usual) completely.

Opposing OCs will have their hands full, preparing a plan to find a weak spot in our D, though.

The best sign is we controlled the game on both sides of the ball.  If we can get this STs unit to achieve functionality, we will have a chance to win every time we step on the field. As a fan, you cant ask for anything more.

ST definitely almost cost us a couple of times yesterday. Hopefully they can work out the kinks.

also, Kay Adams on GMA just said she loves the Panthers.

 

She says she's on the party bus with us.  Cool.
