The Falcons game will be a god litmus test for where we are.  If we get knocked down, we are who we thought we were and this was a fun week of beating a crumbling Bucs team.

If we win...depending on how it looks, then things get interesting for better or worse.

Are people really gonna complain if we get a home playoff game? Winning a few more games and missing the playoffs and a top pick is the nightmare scenario. 

 

But I will 100% take winning the division and a home playoff game. Who are y'all so scared of in the wildcard round? Dallas? NY Giants? Green Bay? San Francisco?

If we play well enough to wind up in the playoffs none of those games are unwinnable at home now that Rhules gone. And it would mean you can afford to trade whatever it takes to get your QB in the draft.

Really? Because our defense hasn't been the problem, and they get to go up against Mariota who's barely passing for over 100 yds.

I am convinced there are many people here who can only take joy in losing and complaining

If PJ keeps playing like he did yesterday, then great.  If not, we're going to be picking high enough to get a good QB prospect.

Life is good today.  I feel light years better about the direction of this team with Rhule gone.

Tell me who that is? This ought to be fun.  None of the QBs in this draft class scream Franchise. 

I want a franchise QB as much as anything, but in watching Stroud & Young, they don't strike me as can't-miss prospects

There are so many prospects that look like r1 picks most years but there are just sooo many this year you're better off waiting and getting one of these beast in the middle of the first or in the 2nd. Bryce Young, Stroud, Greyson McCall, Levis, Hooker, they all look like killers but they all have standard bust factor.

If Bucs lose on Thursday (and they play the Ravens) and the Panthers win on Sunday, we lead the division.

I agree I'm not sure I see that many wins left on our schedule... but do you see a lot of wins left on the Bucs/Saints/Falcons schedule?  It is actually crazy that this team has a realistic shot at making the postseason

Hate to pull this card, but one week at a time....

huddle went form "#1 pick" talk to "Hey they can win" after waffle stomping the yucs! 

To be honest I didn't realize how trash the division was until Sunday.

Should have listened to me before the seasons start, I called it!

Even said Rhule might not not be the worst HC.......I didnt foresee the failcons playing well enough to be in most games, thus far got that wrong. Praise to Bowles and Allen!!..... and maybe to ATLs roster. I still got time for Brady getting injured as well, but it looks like he is playing with a broken heart/brain.

 Right now the team Im most worried about is the iants, cannt believe it but Hill is making a difference...

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
