Props to Phil Snow

[TheMaulClaw]

Phil Snow has done a good job this season. What the D has done with our lack of offensive production is really impressive. 

I don't like Rhule and there are things that Ive questioned about Snow but he has done a good job with that D this year.

The Browns ran well on us but they're the best running team in football. Even with the deficiencies on D it's been the O that has cost us games. 

[Aussie Tank]

From what I saw we should be sending pressure more often Steelers style of D 

[Rocky Davis]

Unless the secondary plays better Snow better realize that leaving Horn, Henderson, and Jackson on islands against better QBs and teams won't always work.

Yeah, he's rattled Jameis twice with all the pressure, blitzes, stunts...but we aren't talking about Rodgers, Allen, Brady, Herbert (who I know is hurt, but still can kill you when healthy).  Hell, even Kurt Cousins and Carr will carve you up sending all that pressure all the time.  Lawrence is starting to look pretty good in Jacksonville too.

[MasterAwesome]

Blitzing Chinn off the edge was a welcome change. The less we use him deep in coverage, the better. Blitzing him makes much better use of his skill set. The dude is shot out of a cannon on blitz plays.

So we are giving him props for stopping a below average QB that has a broken back?

[Carolina Mike]

Oh you was for real on giving him props! Hmmm, not sure I’m ready just yet. Maybe if….  I don’t know…..  it wasn’t a 1 off event. We have SUCKED for so long that now people are all excited and handing out props for a win against another crappy team. This is how substandard culture takes root!!

like i said i give him props for actually pressuring instead of just letting them dink and dunk and letting them comeback and win. i was seriously thinking we would lose because we have allowed teams to comeback and beat us and not show no pressure but just keep the ball in front of us mentality. Just happy to see a W and us actually put pressure on someone and not let them come back.

Yea thats unless a miracle happens with this offense. McAdoo has to do better with his play calling. Offense is horrible. Literally every week we have one big play that keeps us in the game. Week 1 Robbie deep pass, week 2 it was a big CMC run. This week it was Shenault. If we could get atleast some consistency I think we could win more.

I just don't see that consistency coming. 

[Khaki Lackey]

It's remarkable that the defense has looked as decent as it has. The offense has done it zero favors.

[Jon Snow]

Snow saved Rhule's ass for another game plain and simple.  I have a sneaky suspicion that could be why Rhule takes him wherever he goes. But they will not be able to keep that approach up for the rest of the season.  The only reason the team came alive was because of the defense.  That turnover and defensive touchdown changed the flow of the entire game. The blitzing sealed it.

I'm betting we win 4 games this year. Two to the Falcons and two to the saints. We might pick up two more with the Broncos and a resting Bucs team but they haven't looked the best and might be fighting for position. 

IDK, there is plenty of room for improvement coming up, and our schedule the next few weeks isnt the murderers row it looked like before the season started. We always own AZ, SF is REALLY banged up, and not playing well with Jimmy G, and now their great LT is injured and wont be playing.  The Rams and Bucs have not exactly been lighting it up either.  Its not gonna be easy but we have the chance to get into a rhythm and pick up a few wins.

All teams get better throughout the season. The Panthers are no exception. The tricky part is getting ahead of the curve. They aren't quite there though.

See Panthers 2021 as a counter example.

I believe we have an opportunity to win the next two home games. We’ve had Arizona’s number for a while and Sunday’s weather should slant the game in our favor. San Francisco’s offense is about as putrid as ours and we can win a potential defensive slugfest. We could have a 3-2 record before heading to LA to face the Rams.
