So our "D" automatically becomes better and holds the Vikings to 24 points because of CMC's presence? 🤔

 

You can argue that CMC playing would help the Panthers in 3rd down situations and just helping the offense stay on the field in general, which would allow the defense to rest more.

I convinced myself before the season that Sam would be due for a bad game or two this season (I don’t think the cowboys game was a bad game for Sam), just like many quarterbacks.  I am expecting a bounce back game this week against the Vikings. I do expect (and hate to admit it) a loss. However, it won’t be because offense doesn’t do their job. I think we struggle against the run to set up the pass offense this weekend.

 

final score:

vikes : 33

panthers: 31

 

field goal as time expires.

Hmmm...that makes sense.

If we don't have  CMC, this may be a painful game to watch.

Going into this game with low expectations but would love to be surprised.

This Vikings defense is 2nd in the league in sacks, if the O-line does not magically decide to get their poo together this week, pressure on Darnold will be a problem once again. Hopefully Rhule and the staff finally realize this current bunch isn't and never will get the job done, and keep trying different looks, but not expecting it. 

Which is why having CMC back is so big, Darnold is clearly less comfortable without him because he is his security blanket when things fall apart. Look for the Panthers to go to him early and often on to avoid Darnold trying to do too much like last week, when the line inevitably collapses once again.

Joe Brady gets creative for a change and dials up a PA deep shot to Robby Anderson for a TD

Thankfully our defense has the ability to keep us in any game, and I expect our pass rush to torch Kirk Cousins and slow down Dalvin Cook considerably assuming he plays.

Bold prediction: The panthers score 10 points in the 3rd quarter.

This one will be close, and should give us a great indicator of where we are really at after these last 2 weeks. 
 

Panthers just squeak this one out on a last minute TD and win 24-17.

Huddle trolls and pessimists in shambles.

Our defense can still have a great game, but we aren't facing a terrible defense either. If our OL plays like last week it'll be long. Or... I'd hate to put more pressure than there needs to be on Joe Brady but if he can draw something up to counteract our OL woes... then that's our chance. I think Robby was onto something. I know our OL limits what we can do and the kinds of route/plays we call, but I still hope guys are vocal and our staff is open to adjustments that players may suggest. Not just adjustments the coaches think will work.

What the hell people? We aren’t losing this game! Panthers find some rhythm on offense and win 28-20. I want to read some optimistic fan takes! CJ Henderson is going to get a pick after starting to get comfortable in this defense. Also Burns is due a sack or two. Let’s go Panthers! You all better keep pounding!

Yeah, we will run the ball better and be better offensively with CMC.  Which impacts the D. 

That should help the D stay off the field more and be fresher.  And and if the O runs through CMC I would think the odds of turnovers decrease vs a CMC less O.  So it decreases the odds of the D getting in bad spots off turnovers. 

bad offense generally works against a D.  Good offense generally helps them. Just a variation of that thought process.

CJ is already hurt and hasn’t looked good. I know it’s been only really two games but I’m not expecting much out of him to be honest.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
