The Panthers Bought The Hype!!!

Take a look at this quote from Jordan Gross.

On what happened after the first drive: Without seeing the tape, that first drive kind of summed up how we thought the game would go. We went right down the field, scored, ran the ball well.

The first drive is how they "thought the game would go." That reeks of overconfidence, which is vastly different from confidence.

It seems that the Panthers believed what many in the media were saying all week. They believed that the Cardinals should just be happy to be there. They believed that they would not have to fight for the game.

Maybe that first drive was the worst thing that could have happened last night.

I think he is just sayin that they expected to play at a high level and win the game in convincing fashion.

Then the 2nd quarter happened.

hell- We all bought the hype- I did. I was confident. I was worried about our defense, but I NEVER would have thought Jake was going to throw 5 INT's

I don't buy that for one second, AK. When you intend to play the game at a high level, you make comments like, "We were going to fight for every yard," and "We were going to work harder than the other team." You don't say that you expected the game to be like your 5-play, 50 yard opening drive that put 7 on the board with ease.

There is a big difference, and I think the Panthers crossed the fine line between confidence and arrogance.

      Night before the game

      I don't know; I think it's close for the first half and if it gets ugly it'll be in the second half.

      The thing is, I feel like last Sunday validated what I have been saying about Bryce.  And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic. He isn't a good QB, let me make that clear before the brigade storms into this thread, but the biggest difference between Bryce before last week and Bryce in the second half of last season was his lack of confidence and willingness to make plays downfield.  Last week was the first time this season he's had that "F It" mentality, the same he had when he came back last year when he just looked and played care-free (in a good way; he had a positive energy).  We need him to keep that energy the rest of the season because if he does, we can win games. It ain't always about being good.  Hell Jameis Winston isn't good (better than Bryce, but still), but he plays with such a confidence that his teams always have a chance.   If Bryce is down to be as aggressive as he was last week, I think the opportunities will be there against a weak and injured 49ers defense.

      I don't have a great feeling about this game, but after last night I have a real good feeling about our chances to win the division. I think we might actually have a fair amount of wiggle room if Baker is out for an extended period of time, especially if he misses one or both of the games against us. 9-8 could very well win the NFC South this year. Hell, depending on how long Mayfield is out I wouldn't be shocked to see 8-9 win it.
