Yeah we’re going to have to sweep Saints for sure in order to get to 7 wins 

Must wins are Jets, Saints x2 then we’ll have to surprise someone like Dallas, Tampa at home maybe? Maybe we go win in Atlanta again but I doubt it 

The Jets are also probably looking at the game against us as their one real shot at not going 0-17 so there’s that

Oh yeah, if the Jets lose again this week, we are toast.  They will be licking their chops.  Atlanta in their house?  Nah man, they rough us up down there even when we are good.  Besides, they will have a HUGE chip on their shoulder from their beat down at BOA.  I say the closest thing to a sure win the rest of the season will be the Saints in Charlotte.  Outside of that, have a seat on the struggle bus, it's going to be a long season.

Have you watched the jets play this year?

they don’t have anything to lick. 

Something has to give, either we notch road win #2 in the Bryce young era or they get a home victory versus a horrible road team.  If this game were in Charlotte, I'd give us the edge.  Just like if the game yesterday was in Florida, there's no way we come back.

Before the game started, my wife and I were discussing the team and if anything was going to happen for them. And my take is that this was going to be one of those games where you're going to learn where each of the teams are headed. The Dolphins have been in a downward spiral, we've been trying to break out of the cellar we've been living in.

A Dolphin win on the road might pull their team out of the dive and save their coach's job. It could bring them back to some sort of upward or at least leveling off trajectory. A Dolphin win would probably also completely crush the Panthers hopes for any growth this season and put Canales and crew on notice that it was time to polish up the resume`.

A Panthers win would buy Canales more time and would give the players, owners and fanbase something to buy into, one more step up the stairs leading out of the darkness and maybe, just maybe back into a competitive light. A Panthers win would probably mean that one or more heads were probably going to roll sooner rather than later in Miami's coaching staff. 

That first quarter... man, that first quarter... it said every damned thing we've been saying here for the last three seasons. There was no longer any denying it. And then we found ourselves down 17-zip.

And then, well, THAT happened.

Canales coached that team into a comeback, the second largest in Panthers history, on a day when there was every danged reason to pack it in and call it a day. He'll survive this week. I'm not so sure Miami isn't having a called to the carpet moment this morning.

We aren't out of cellar yet. But it's looking better. Holding serve on the home field gets you a lot in the NFL. 

Let's enjoy the win. They've been rare.

Our schedule is fugin brutal after the next two weeks. It would be so funny to get above 500 so the radio guys can go crazy with playoff talk before reality sets in

Even though this week's game is at home, I don't think we beat the Cowboys unless the defense can keep Dak rattled. If Dak gets dialed in, this thing could get ugly.

      Only team with a winning record…

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread. Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically.  The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter? Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.

      Canes vs Jets Friday 8pm

      Yeah, it is wild that we keep clawing back and thriving with all these different lineup combos and players coming and going. Say what you want about how some things have gone over the past few years but our roster construction is exceptional. We really have loaded up on guys in free agency and through the draft that really fit Rod's system. It's gonna come down to the usual things, I think. Can we elevate our play in the playoffs? That's the big thing we have lacked. Eventually we just hit an opponent that can dig deeper and scrap harder than us.  It's funny because we always have these teams we cannot seem to get past in the playoffs(Bruins, Tampa, NYR, Florida) that we eventually outlast and outbuild. I guess possiblu that will be the way we win a Cup in the end. Just outlast and outbuild them all.

      I wouldn take Nystrom allll day over Reilly. He is a gem. 7th rounder that bought in and is playing great.  The injury’s on D actually got him the playing time he needs. He will be a cane for a long time.
