Yeah, assuming we do whoop the poo out of Houston tomorrow, the hype train is going to be firmly rolling down the tracks.  We are going to be the talk of the league - even more so than we already are after last week.

IDK guys....this time around just feels different.  It feels like we are actually building something long term special here, instead of these 1 year wonder flash in the pan teams.  With all the youth we've got, all the studs up and down the starting lineups on both sides of the ball, all the cap space we've got, you've got to think its only going to improve moving forward.

I really think we let up on the gas against the Jets, and we'll probably do the same tomorrow.  If pattern holds, a 3 score lead  then pump the brake.  Maybe experiment a little.

We are going to run a lot more.  We have no excuse this time.    They were the WORST team against the run last year.   There should be holes to run.  I expect a couple breakways, even for Chubba, maybe we'll see some Royce.  

I really think we ran up the score on the Saints because that is what they did to the Packers.

I hope you all will remember that Snow was the guy that pointed out Darnold to the FO.

They won't for a long time.

They can try to figure it out all they want, but there is hardly anything you can do if Horn is locking his man down and Burns and Reddick are simply beating the man in front of them one on one. 

Speed kills.

I think the defense and particular the secondary was very different between Green Bay and the Saints. One was a prevent shell while last week was a primarily man cover often cover 0 pressuring receivers off the line preventing the quick hitters. I hope we keep the man and retire the prevent defense of last year. Especially since we now have the guys to run a man scheme.

Agreed

You can't "figure out" talent.   If the athleticism and execution are outstanding, a defense is going to succeed.

The personnel will pretty much dictate what he can do. Last year he didn't have time to get these young guys ready from the jump. As the season went on and he had time to get them use to the pace aand flow of what he needed them to do you could see significant improvement in the defense.  He also didn't have much to work with.

You're right.  It was.  We couldn't play man last year because we didn't have the personnel.

When you're outmanned, you don't play man.

Rhule said he wanted fast, athletic and players that could play multiple positions.  Last year we had a couple of pieces. Now IMO we players at ever level that can move into another position and perform it well. 

You got guys that shouldn't have the talent to back out and defend and got players that are coming in on the QB when they probably shouldn't be.  I think this is why Shaq is doing so well.  He's able to be athletic and this defense is perfect for him.

I pray Snow doesn't get a big head and leaves to be a HC.  He's a defensive guru and hopefully he knows this.

I think this is what you need to do, almost every time until it becomes impossible to lose, at which point you burn clock, don't get hurt, and go home.

You don't want to be in a 28-3 situation, if you know what I mean.

I agree.  Against teams like the aints and Bucs, don't ever let up on the gas.

I think we can let up on the Texans in the 2nd half and probably will.

We'll see.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
