What did Carrol do to Geno Smith? Maybe the old coot has plenty of gas left in his coaching tank after all.

Carrol is a decent coach. Yes, he was cheating like crazy and broke damn near every rule in the book at USC, and is responsible for arguably the worst playcall in the history of the Super Bowl, but if he took over the Panthers they might make the playoffs.

Of course he is a good coach, had great teams that were great opponentsto hate on and play. It just looked like he was running out of gas. I get trading Russ after the drama and cap restrictions from his contract but to go into the year with Smith and not blink to this is just impressive. Lots of talk about him being close to hanging it up. Looks like he has plenty of fight left.

Geno always was able. Just never was on the right team. 

I never thought Gino was close to this level of competency. Physically talented but not dialed in with any understanding or comand of the offense. 

The tape may change things in the big picture but he looks to be having the game of his life.

I mean he looked pretty good coming in cold last season. 5td to 1int. He basically just sat on the bench for the last 6 years, obviously sees the game better now than at 23 years old playing for the Jets

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
