The Panthers Dominated An 8-1 Team Today

[Saca312]

Let that sink in. They did not just "win" against what arguably is the best team in the NFC and even the NFL.

The Panthers demolished them. Crumpled them. Steamrolled them.

And in a turn of events, it was not just one phase the Panthers dominated in. All phases - offense, defense, and even special teams - put on a show to see.

Yes, the Cardinals were without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. But this same team with those players out put on a clinic against the 49ers just the other week, so that's little excuse. Not to mention the Panthers enforced their will against what is considered one of the best defenses in the NFL.

So yes, the Panthers won today. But not just that. They dominated one of the top teams in the NFL.

This team has always had potential to be good. There is definitely a bunch of talent offensively and the defense has always been tops. 

It just took one simple change in the QB engine bay to really get this team firing on all cylinders.

And boy, does it look like a fun ride.

Shaq has been extremely good all season.

add in our starting center as well.

though granted, that was definitely more like an upgrade.

As were their starting QB and arguably the best WR in the league. I'm not meaning to discount the win by any means and sure as hell won't apologize for loving every minute of it, but I do wonder just how much of a difference Kyler and/or Hopkins might have made.

That said, man was it sweet just seeing the team steamroll an opponent. Feels like years since we saw this type of ass-whooping.

All fairness Stephon Gilmore likely would've won the battle against Hopkins and this defense would've done enough against Murray like they did last year. 

One thing's for sure, Phil Snow seems to be Arizona's kryptonite.

Yes we did but without probably 80% of it's weapons on offense. Still a great performance though because both teams were bangged up.

Let us go at unalterable speed

49er defense started below average and fell off a cliff. they’re really awful…no idea why that game is compared to this one, cardinal fans are considering this a throw away game

as with cam, you can’t deny how a competitive team feeds off a good qb, and their coaching did no favors going for it on 4th in the first quarter on the 35 (wtf was that?)

the Panthers beat the backups of a 8-1 offense, the real glory here is the fact one of the worst offenses in the league beat one of the best defenses - cmc was fully back and Darnold was really that awful, PJ was not asked to do much at all 200 yards but almost 2 INTs, still impressive and promising 

not trying to be negative, the real test will be the buccs and bills, remember how hyped everyone was 3-0…knee jerk reaction, what we need is consistency, and more importantly to beat a good, complete team

the panthers have not beat a complete, winning team since what? 2017? and only a few incomplete teams since…coincides with losing years and it’s not a coincidence 

only thing sinking in for me is this team actually does have a chance, feels good,  completely unexpected, but i’d be a fool to not recognize the panthers’ trademarked rollercoaster…

don’t lose games you should win next week and the week after and then beat the bills. i’ll be all in.

Kyler Murray is great but he alone can't change an outcome of a game when it's 31-3. We won on all phases ..they might have had another 100 yards and another 10 points but I believe with our energy we still would have won

Damn that one went right over your head.

Ever heard of sarcasm?
