Panthers dealing with old demons

I wanted to make a thread to highlight some of the recent accomplishments of this team. I think most everyone has been impressed with Wilks performance so far, but it's more than just having us in the playoff conversation. Here are a few trends we have bucked since he took over, but I'm sure there are others I've missed so feel free to add any other trends you've seen reverse course recently. 

 

1)we finally got a win over Brady in a BUCS uniform. We took him back to .500 all time in our house

2) We have defended the bank, we have a three game home winning streak and have won all our divisional home games. When building a winning culture you start here and Wilks is undefeated at home

3) We beat Russel Wilson, and the Seahawks...AND the broncos. I don't have to explain to most of you how much we've struggled vs seattle in the past. Going in there and winning a game was a huge statement win by this team. Beating them and the Broncos feels cathartic, old demons put to rest

4)We won a game yesterday despite allowing more than 17 points, another trend put to rest hopefully

5)We played the best first quarter in a long long time yesterday. All three phases were hitting and Seattle was not ready. 

6)We are getting hot at the right time. Did either of the first two Rhule seasons have more than 1 or 2 wins after the halfway point in the season? We're back to being a November/December team

But the most important thing isn't a stat you can point to. It isn't a specific player, or even the win loss column. The most important thing is that yesterday that team embodied Keep Pounding. It wasn't just a mantra written on the jersey, it was a spirit you could feel on every run play. That last TD drive we could not be stopped, and that's the kind of energy you need this time of year. 

 

If Wilks keeps them playing like this we are NOT a team you want to come play against in the playoffs. 

 

 

 

 

 

You did forget 1. That win yesterday pretty much put a nail in the tank coffin. 

 

But yeah, what we saw yesterday was classic Playoff Football. Been a while since we've seen such good all-around play. Proud of the team, and Wilks.

 

I will add. Penalties. We have got to get those under control.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
