Official Patriots at Panthers GameDay Thread

Couple of stories going on here. 

1) Who will be our QB?

2)Will CMC be able to play?

3)Can Rhule and Co. outdo Belichick?

4) Can our O-line stand up to the Patriots front seven? 

On the first, Darnold gives us a shot (not a great one), PJ gives us probably something embarrassing. On the second, this is probably our biggest factor in having a shot at being competitive. Thirdly, if they can't does the slide continue from here?

And lastly, that O-line issue has been the killer for us this season. Watch for the Patriot with the red sleeves, Matt Judon. If we can't slow him down, the day is done, whether it is pass heavy or run heavy for us. 

All these questions are unanswered for us right now, but none of them look good. I hate to predict it, but I'm thinking it will be:

Patriots: 21

Carolina: 10

I hope I am so very wrong here.

CMC opens up the offense and hides our deficiencies on the offensive line. Our lineman were getting beat like a drum in the first three games but the quick outlet passes prevented the sacks. We seemed to have finally have found a  complimentary 2nd option out of the backfield with Abdullah also. 
 

We will stick with the run and use quick passes in this game with an occasional downfield shot. 
 

Defensively I hope we begin to see that top 5 unit shining through with Gilmore locking down one side.

The Pats will likely just load up the box to stop the run, but that doesn't always work. Basically Sam, assuming he plays, has to make the throws we brought him here to make. He has a huge contract and Rhule's reputation is on the line. Make the throws to guys in single coverage and guys who are open, or pack your bags Sam.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
