Panthers got at least 99 problems but a swanky video game ain’t one. 

It's about a mentality and a culture. Some more storied and consistently competitive franchises can have things like that in their locker room. I don't see us as being anywhere near that yet.

Its so mind-numbingly repetitive and predictable. It sounds like all the sane people found other places.

You can actually talk about Panther football on reddit without the Tepper, etc. derails on every topic.

"If you start critiquing the platform endlessly, your stank will have consequences.  Keep it football, not carolinahuddle journaling."

Sounds like you need to read that thread again.

I don't see it this year but lol going on opinions on this board people thought 2015 was an 8-8 squad at best

Esp wit KB going down for the year. 

 

I don't think our defense got enough credit that year....SMH.. Josh Norman's first half of that season was CRAZY. We ended up with the league offensive MVP + two Defensive player of the year finalists.

That D had an at peak Thomas Davis, Kuechly, Norman, and Kawaan Short. Iirc they were all named All-Pro. The team as a whole had double digit Pro Bowlers...

Yea im not getting that same vibe from the current squad.

In 2015 we won many games by a razor thin margin and overachieved. Sure we blew the doors off a few teams but by and large the tale of the 2015 season was the core talent of the team on both sides of the ball pulling out close wins.

If only that team had Moton.  Thats a reasonable ask that could have made a world of difference.

Jaguars Reveal Second Injury Report For Panthers Contest

Injury Report
OL Cole Van Lanen (shoulder): Limited Participation
CB Montaric Brown (ankle): Did Not Participate
OL Wyatt Milum (knee): Did Not Participate

The most significant aspect of the injury report is the offensive line. The Jaguars have nine offensive linemen on the active roster, but one already looks set to miss the game in Milum. If Van Lanen can't play, the Jaguars would have two healthy backups in Chuma Edoga and Jonah Monheim.

With that said, this seems to be why the Jaguars built out the offensive line the way they have. They have made a concentrated effort to add linemen who can play multiple positions to ensure the team is protected in scenarios just like the one the Jaguars may now be looking at entering their Week 1 contest vs. the Panthers.

This team has a lot of new faces and young players.  How the season goes depends to a great extent on how they play.

That playoffs run was 7 wins my guy.

Nobody is suggesting a 2015 like run.

And don't forget the player that had the possible greatest stat line of all time for a defender in a Superb Owl... Kony Ealy

If only the team didn't have a brain dead OC that decided to never help Remmers with a TE/RB chip the entire game and asked him to block prime Von Miller 1-on-1...

That's literally what he was implying in the post.

And A playoff run is still a playoff run my guy. They won the division and a playoff game, that's momentum carrying over to next season compared to winning 5 games in a miserable season.
