CHFF: Cats hitting the NYG at the right time?

There may be nothing to it, but it's an interesting theory:

But here’s the most encouraging part for Carolina fans: the Panthers are rising rapidly – especially in their production on the ground – just as the Giants are showing weaknesses offensively.

As we noted Monday, the Giants have averaged just 94.3 YPG on the ground in their last three outings. The Panthers have averaged 187.0 YPG over the same three weeks – and two of their opponents are possible playoff teams (Atlanta, Tampa). Go back four weeks (to include the Lions), and the Panthers average 206.3 YPG on the ground.

As long as we clinch a playoff spot I am good. I do think it is ironic that we are catching NYG the same time (week 16) that the Giants played NE last year.

That game gave them the ins and outs of beating the Patriots and paid off in the Super Bowl.

Fox is pretty good at not losing to the same team twice in a season.

We win this weekend and TB loses. We should be fine.

Go Panthers

I think you have throw out the Lions game because lets face it everyone is having there way on the ground with them and to tell you the truth I don't know how much to look at Monday's game. It was just one week where it seemed everything went right for us. It was the best game I have watch in sometime but I think we need to hold up before we crown our running game. I hope and pray that this success continues but I'm not so sure it can. Eventually teams are going to come up with a way to slow it down and I haven't seen enough out of Jake lately to have to win it on his own.

Stop it. We play Denver this week. People say the Panthers players should not look ahead everyone is doing the same thing. GEEZ

Well it's not like we're going to have any effect on how the Panthers do this Sunday aside from showing up at the stadium and cheering them on...

What happened toTampa was having Kalil and Otah back and our receivers blocking very well. Add to that the fact that Williams and Stewart broke a number of tackles and that is the formula for a big running night on anyone. This was no fluke or a bad game by Tampa. We beat them in the trenches and wore them out on both sides of the ball. If we can play with that kind of intensity the rest of the way we should be able to play with anyone.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
