This'll be a get right game for us, I think we'll beat them soundly and convicingly. 

Panthers: 23

Giants: 6

An already dreadful team missing a lot of its starters,I think we'll come out amped. Our D will dominate, the offense will still have its hiccups and I would bet a good amount of their points come off turnovers inside Giants territory. We lost to two teams with a superior roster; only truly bad loss was that damn Philly one. If we do somehow manage to lose this, we will be in free fall and I'll start to become worried about us potentially undershooting the 8-9 win mark. That'd be a worst case scenario.

Alternatively, we'll do what CRA suggested and dominate the game in the yards category but miss oppourtunities on crucial downs and as a result never go up as much as we feel we should similarly to the Jets game. Could see either happening.

D dominates early vs a bad offense and sets up an easy win.    We never get up as much as we feel we should be. Staff does try to get an even rush/pass split that leans slightly to the run.  Which prevents the turnovers we saw vs Philly.   Chuba grinds out a good but unspectacular game.  

23 - 13 Panthers 

Their offense appears to be a MASH unit. We should dominate on D but this O will be the equalizer in a rather ugly game. I think we get this one by a FG but it wouldn’t surprise me either if we lose by same.

Last time we faced a trash NY team….we barely squeaked by in reality.  
 

I got faith the D can setup a win.  I just don’t know if the O can do their part.   Just too inconsistent.    And turnovers are clearly becoming a real issue.

28th in the NFL in turnover margin. That isn't gonna result in many wins.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
