CMC will be back soon.

Henderson will have had more than a cup of coffee with the defensive coaches.

YGM will be back in the rotation.

We'll be a lot better coming out of this stretch than you think. 4 out of 5 isn't unlikely, and 5 out of 5 wins is certainly on the table. 

We're a good team, we're going to get better.

I'd be happy finishing 3-2 out of that stretch. I think the Vikings are better than their record and will be a tough game, the Falcons are always tough being a division opponent, and the Patriots still have Belichick and have a tough defense. Panthers will probably drop a couple of these games but they are all winnable. 

Yeah I think 3-2 is pretty likely and these games are harder than they are on paper.  But if we want to make playoffs I think it's important to take 4 of 5 considering we have @Ariz, @Buffalo, @NO, @Buffalo and TB x2 later in the year.

I wouldn't.

Feel like we should be at least 4-1 if not 5-0 against that lineup.

I think everyone needs to take a chill pill with the expectations. The Panthers are clearly better than last year for sure, but given the mounting injuries and lack of quality opponents so far, the expectations are getting pretty out of control. Winning 8 or 9 games would be a massive improvement for this team.

My expectations aren't super high.

But those teams are crap.

If we can't get Paradis playing better we are going to be in serious trouble I think. He's the weakest link in that line right now. Now if Brady starts running our offense like it's the 2 minute drill, that might help. I'd be good with 14-16 play drives. Sam does better on quick rhythm. We need to use that. 

Just need CMC back, and a plan of how to play effectively with him out.

When he's in there, it's a much different game plan for the defenses.

Chubba wasn't going to scare them, Moore got his, Sam missed Robby a couple times, had we hit those deep, they were gonna back off quick.  We ran up against a better team, on the road, with the refs being more than a little forgiving toward the home team.

I think we are a good team, I think Dallas may be very good.

Mr. Scot, I'd expect more from you. Gotta look at the games those teams have played to know the real story.

The Eagles, I tend to agree but they're no pushover. They have an offense that can score. But their defense is beatable. Should be a 1 TD Panthers win IMO.

The Vikings are definitely not crap. They've had a tough schedule. They lost in OT to an improved Bengals team, and were a stupid missed FG away from beating a very good Cardinals team. They're extremely close to being 3-1. They also have a win against the Seahawks. The Vikings are the toughest game on the upcoming schedule.

Giants are a game I'd be livid if the Panthers lost. Should be a 2-3 score Panthers win.

The Falcons on the road, it's a divisional game and that's always a tossup in my book. Panthers haven't exactly had great luck against Matt Ryan over the years.

Belichick is still around for the Patriots and their defense is talented. Not a gimme game.

If the Panthers finish 3-2 through that stretch I'd be thrilled. Get CMC back for the run with the really tough games.

Usually Josh McDaniels is an idiot but once he switched Mac Jones to running the spread offense against a decimated Bucs secondary, their offense actually looked decent. I think Darnold could benefit from running an offense like that sometimes.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Waldo · Posted

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
