This thread is for the Huddle veterans who are beyond the knee jerk reactions that losses bring to the newer folks.

1-2 , going to Atlanta after a long week. Sounds to me like an opportunity to right the ship.

The Falcons do appear to be the class of the division here early in the season according to the articles. I haven't had a chance to see any of their games yet.

That said, what are the top 3 things you would like to see that would give us the best chance of pulling out an upset?

The O line has to block. Open holes for the RB's and give Cam more than 2 seconds.

Cam has to step up, pick his head up and be smart. Don't force things.

Out DBs are what they are and that isn't going to change... the D line has to put some pressure on Ryan and, oh yeah, don't let them gash us on the ground either.

1) run at least 50% of our plays from under-center pro-sets. Quick routes with three step drops, power run game with lead blocks and ISO. QUIT running the option look as our base offense.

2) Play man and blitz. We HAVE to get pressure. Dropping seven or eight into zone coverage with two deep, including nakamura 40 yards off the line of scrimmage, is fuging ludicrous and it's killing us. We are running zone on goal line looks for christ's sake.

3)Make some "at the line" adjustments. Both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. We are not playing act and react on either side. We are just lining up and hoping for the best, regardless of what we are seeing on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage. fuging audible a hot route, Jesus.

That hasn't happened in the 19 games Rivera has been here. Be realistic please.

I don't see any way possible we don't do this. The Giants picked apart our zone with ease. If we come out in the same zone coverage in a dome... ugh.

I was tending bar and watching the game. I wanted to start hitting my patrons every time I saw that no name scrub WR sit down in an open hole in the zone just to catch a wide open 25 yard pass.

We have GOT to tackle. For 3 weeks straight Ive watched running backs carry 2 or more of our guys for significant yardage after initial contact. For 3 weeks straight Ive watched guys in the open field shed the first Panther to make contact.

If we cant stop giving up all of this yardage after contact its not going to matter what else we fix.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
