Packers game predictions

[cranky]

If Young plays and Rico is the starter, the Panthers win a tight one that will go down to the wire. You heard it here first!

[Johnstonny]

We gonna get bounced with no Oline... Feed Rico and Tet.....bought all you can do. Unless canales turns into Billick and actually plans and attacks weaknesses...

Upset alert 

[ProcessBlue2]

I know everyone is pessimistic and I don’t think the Panthers win. However, the Packers seem to fall asleep easily on teams. They lost to Browns, tied Dallas, almost lost to Arizona, and then Flacco and the Bengals almost clawed back. I think we lose because we are on the road and are a totally different team when traveling but I don’t think it’s a blow out. 
 

Packers pass D is weaker than the run D, I think if Bryce plays he’s going to dink and dunk them to death because their secondary is the weak point. I just think the D will run out of gas against the offense. 
 

Packers 28 Panthers 17

We lose in a non competitive game 38-20.

Bryce doesn't look much better than Dalton did and all the people this week saying "see we told you he's great, look how bad this team is without Bryce" blame it on the OL injuries and/or his ankle and already start laying the groundwork for that being why he is still one of the worst starting QB's the rest of the season and why he deserves another year, if not even an outright extension.

And no, that's not what I'm rooting for, just what I objectively think will happen, just as I've been saying for a month would happen once we got past the cupcake portion of the schedule.

Although, I will admit there is a big caveat to this game.

Packers coming off an emotionally big game against Rodgers on the road in Primetime and a MNF matchup with the Eagles at home the following week, it is a prime opportunity for a let down game with them being at home and looking ahead.

Which if it's the case, I think we still lose, but only something like 24-21.

It’s happened before. Precedent. They’ll start blaming Canales too.

This is where we begin our "slide" similar to Matt Rhule's 2nd season

Panthers L 35-9

Dismal blowout

Well sure, I'm clearly not a Bryce believer, but I've also been very loud against Canales too, for an offensive minded coach who calls plays, he kinda sucks a play design and calling, it's bland and predictable.

I will give Canales a ton of credit in that he has completely reshaped this franchise's locker room spirit, these guys seem to be having fun and genuinely believing in themselves and each other.  That's something we haven't seen here in a little while and he gets A marks from me in that regard.

But if I had to keep one next year and replace the other, believe it or not, I'd replace Canales and keep Bryce.  Use Tepper's huge wallet and a promise that the HC gets 1 season of Bryce and then it's 100% his call, no GM or Owner input, while also guaranteeing them 2 full seasons post Bryce, no matter what.

It allows them to build out a team properly instead of feeling they need to shoot for the moon right away, think like the Texans did before getting Stroud.  Then they have the choice in year 2 to dump Bryce and sign a gap year QB while building out the rest of the roster without concern that a bad year will get them fired, knowing we'll then go all in on getting a QB in the next offseason.

Tepper needs to get in a room with the top candidates and be sincere and prove to them he'll hold his word on this, it's the only way to attract a great HC candidate.

 Yeah, brilliant. Keep Coach killer. Build a college offense. Perfect. 
 

I wasn’t saying that to defend Canales, just that it is the next illogical step in the excuse parade. 
Anybody’s fault but Bryce. Always. Consistency is important.
