Point Differential

I've been saying for months, we need to get this point differential under control. Well it finally happened. We are plus 5. Merry Christmas

PF PA

389 384 +5

When was the last time this team had a positive point differential?

I would love to see the defensive improvement the last 6 weeks compared to the rest of the season. hint (Teeray)

Also notice 3 home wins and 3 road wins.

When we beat NO the team will be 3-3 in the division.

Newton Leads Panthers To 48 Points

From Elias: Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in the Panthers' 48-16 win over the Buccaneers on Saturday. That's the most points scored by a team that started a rookie quarterback since the Rams, with Tony Banks starting, defeated the Falcons on Nov. 10, 1996, 59-16.

Actually this is where some of the credit needs to go to the defense. I wouln't be surprised if they go up in ranking this week either.

The problem in the past was, no matter how much points the offense put up, the defense quickly gave them right back.

Glad to seem there have been some defending. Here's hoping they can keep it up on

Sunday.

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
