We're going to run the ball and beat the Rams on Sunday.

Assuming D. Will is back.

After this past Sunday's passing explosion what are the chances that the Rams are going to continue stacking the box on us?

Sure maybe they think it was a fluke, and they may still want to test us, but if that coach has any common sense, no way is he going to look at a tape where we threw for 308 yards and completely ignore the passing. If they do, I say bring it on.

But my gut tells me some teams, especially teams like the Rams are going to back off a bit now. That's gotta open up our run game. I see them trying a couple of times in the first quarter, but if Montana Moore pulls a repeat and burns them again over a few plays, they will back off for the remainder of the game. That's the first and most important thing. We need to come out passing in the first quarter and re-establish a continuation in our passing thread.

Which brings up the next point. Not wanting to get too far ahead, but this is going to be the key to winning other games going forward. I'm going to give Fox some credit this year and say he has tried a lot of new things with a lot of different personnel. And if we can get that run game going, and continue mixing things up it's going to continue giving other teams a bit of a headache trying to prepare for us.

If the run works this weekend and we win, we'll be yet a completely different team the week after. If we shuffle personnel around some more, it's going to make it even harder for teams to figure us out. We are in a good position of showing different faces and different strategies just about every Sunday keeping the element of surprise on our side. This team's new found flexibility just may be its biggest weapon.

Montana Moore, LOL.. I bet I know whose jock strap you wish you could be

How did I know there would be at least one guy that would read that sentence and that's all he would read. CLT Panther, your originality and humor is out of this world. Have you tried Letterman?

Second reply and the thread is already at risk of being de-railed.

You obivously have not researched the Rams very well ...

We play press man corner on the outside as the majority set ...

According to Stats, LLC, opposing QB's are completing less than 38% of attempts against our corners Fletcher and Bartell when in man ...

I'm just not seeing Matt Moore as the one to buck this trend. He might find better success against our zone blitzes ...

Good luck ....

Fletcher and Bartell? I'm not knocking the corners cuz I've never even heard of them...

But no-name corners vs our no-name recievers...

Our win against the 49ers gave me hope, but this Sunday is going to be a tough test for panthers for sure.

Here's to a good game with no injuries!

Now carry in with your condescending posts!

Nothing condescending. I am concerned deeply about playing the 80's 49'ers led by Montana Moore!

    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?   
    • How do you reconcile with the fact that the most competent and productive the Panthers passing offense has looked at any point between 2023 and 2025 were both games where Andy Dalton (who is completely washed and terrible) started? 680 passing yards and 5 touchdowns in two games. And one of those games was with Frank Reich as the head coach. This team needs competent QB play.
    • If we're in position and he is there, he will absolutely be the pick. He goes to South Carolina after all
