If anyone on here has ever been to a playoff game @ BOFA then you know that Monday night was as about as close as you could be to that experience....the place was electric and the players were on fire.

Sometimes the atmosphere has alot to do with how the players perform.

We should be able to expect a good running attack, not 300yds rushing every game, but a good running attack.

We should be able to expect Jake to be able to manage the game and not freak the hell out when someone(Smitty) isnt open.

We should be able to expect the defense to be able to stop a team on 3rd and long at least 60% of the time.

We should be able to expect the play calling to make some sense.

Well, I hope the hell that won't be the normal level of performance by our secondary the rest of the way, or we may have to squeak into the play offs as a wild card again. These next three opponents are more than capable of torching even good secondarys, so ours needs to be great from here on out.

I do expect our O-line to keep playing at a high level though, because they're just now getting used to being together again. I just hope they can keep it up on the road. Expecting 300yds rushing every week would be pretty ridiculous though.

I was down on the field and it was definitely the loudest I have ever heard it. It is also the most vocal and animated I have seen the players. They were switched on from the beginning and once it started clicking they definitely had the sideline swagger that I have not seen this year since the Saturday night that Washington came in Preseason.

The fans did a great job and the players clearly responded.

One more chance Panther fans...how bad do you want a home playoff game?

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
