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.

      Sticking it to America's Team

      By strato · Posted

      forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history   Pretty great.  X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.  We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.
