Florio's take: We know there will be upsets, but we don’t quite know when and where they’ll happen — which is one of the ingredients in a true upset. Folks who pay for tickets to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday won’t be upset when the Panthers control the clock on offense, and when Ron Rivera (who historically did a nice job of shutting down Peyton Manning while in San Diego) finds a way to at least contain Russell Wilson, with the help of middle linebacker Luke Kuechly.

Florio’s pick: Panthers 20, Seahawks 17.

His cohort sides with the Seachickens, but I'm still I'm awe.

Peyton beat us handily but the final score had a special teams TD or two in it.

Right but i still don't follow the logic.

"Rivera did good against Peyton years and years ago, therefore we should have no prob with Russ Wilson...???"

Kinda random but alright

I think he meant, if he can contain the greatest QB ever he can come up with a gameplan for Wilson. Good lord man its not that random.

It's pretty random when you're talking about a coach that's 13-19 and called the same exact defense 6 plays in a row while trying to contain "Jay Cutler" last year. But you're right, that one time he controlled Peyton 5 years ago is much more relevant

I think he's trying to make a case for Rivera having a decent football mind which he does. What Rivera doesn't have is a quality secondary. Clock management is important as well. Our offense is designed to control the clock, we just have to see it be executed.

 

I looked up the Denver game. They scored a pick 6 and a punt return. Take those away and the defense gave up 22 points, forced 2 turnovers, and held the Broncos to 3-13 on third down. Not amazing but good enough. Our offense just kept giving the Broncos the ball.

 

But I agree it is a very odd comparison.

I've always liked Florio. He has a Bright mind, not a football mind but a bright mind. I think sometimes we sit here in our barbecue stained wife beaters envying his success because in terms of football, he is no better than us. He is just a passionate fan that quit his day job and became highly successful in a cottage industry. He has a talent though. It's not like he's an idiot.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
