That is a lot for Carolina to overcome. But McAdoo said the team has a plan to combat the 49ers’ elite defensive line.

‘There’s a combination of things you can do,” he said. “Whether you try to help, or try to spit the ball out, or try to run the ball.”

The Panthers historically, regardless of regime, have never negated the opposing defense's pass rush. Instead, they call for long developing plays and hang the QB out to dry behind a leaky offensive line. I don't expect anything to change this coming Sunday.

"We're four games in."

How many do we plan on taking?  We are 1-3 just under 1/4th of the way into the season, and this was almost certainly our easiest stretch of consecutive games.  Is seven enough?  Ten?  More?

What exactly is training camp and preseason for?  Even teams that use it to actually prepare their players for the games that count (starting at game 1, not game 7, 10, 14, or 17) struggle to get that accomplished.  Those that spend their time playing high school and college mind games are even further behind.  Guess which group we are in?

Has our offense looked prepared for any of our first four opponents?  Maybe the New Orleans game, but was that preparation or the blind squirrel finding the acorn.  We seem to be a haven for coaches who think they are going to outsmart everybody else but wind up outsmarting themselves.....and that starts at the top.

 

Strangely enough, the best this offense has looked was actually the first game. Starting at the 4:46 mark of  the 2nd quarter, the offensive drives were: TD, end of half, punt, TD, TD, FG, end of game. The offense has not scored more than one TD in another game this year.

You are probably correct on that assessment.  I looked at games where we scored in the first quarter, and we did against New Orleans.  What I forgot was those opening stanza points were put on the board by the defense.  <Sigh>

So, offensively we are yet to look prepared for an opponent this year. 

But, "we're four games in."  Of course, the opponents are four games in, too, but I guess that is besides the point.

Do you remember the last 40-ish seconds heading into the half and last 4mins, the hurry up moved the ball better than any other time. With a OC like ben(who over does things), less thinking helps.....plus it was the only time CMC caught passes. 

I said that and now this; run the BALL.

Yeah, ok, Cam was brought in to make a impact, he sure did, we scored two TDs with ease, then what?

He was overRhuled and made to split time with Sam.

Cam was brought in to make the impact of getting the fans off their backs for a while.  Rhule even screwed that up.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
