this is a trap game if I've ever seen one

Thursday night/short week (check)

away game (check)

Houston team who no one believes in but has been competitive their first two games (check)

Starting a rookie QB who we don't have much film on (check)

 

The panthers should win this game, that being said we have really left off the gas peddle in both our first two games. If we show up and do that for four quarters in Houston I could totally see Houston winning a low scoring slugfest and us all standing there scratching our nuts

i can also see the Panthers blow out the Texans....and we'll still stand there scratching our nuts because that's how we roll here at the Huddle.  🙃

Yes but I don’t think Rhule will allow players to underestimate their opponent.

In the pressers the players are saying the right things.  Snow was up all night Sunday.  

They seem all business.

Houston is NOT as bad as team as everyone says.  Probably 7 win team if Watson played.  They have some O weapons if Davis has time to get it to them and Ingram can run the ball.

We showed a lot of tape against the Saints so now everyone has something to study.

We should beat this team but....

Any given Thursday.

Saints wasn’t a trap game. We were at home and they were favored. Houston with their backup QB is a great example of a trap game.

I like the Thursday night game because it’s fun to watch and then potentially have a nice wide open Sunday. Being on the road for a Thursday night game is tough for the team. It was an older article but one I read had Thursday night home teams winning at an over 62% win rate versus over 56% normal home team win rate.

Maybe you don’t recall our last on the road Thursday night game but I do and it weren’t pretty. I’d be happy with any type of win and then a nice long break. 

I remember.  

It's all good.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
