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.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
