Panthers will win Sunday

Thats right boys and girls, the Panthers are going to win on Sunday.

 

You all know that I have been a Shula critic from day 1, but did you know that Shula from time to time actually does put together a nice game? It is those games that keeps the fans scratching their heads and wondering if there is hope. It is like a CIA torture tactic. Break them down almost completely, but then offer them a candy bar.

 

Flash back to 1998. High hopes are made for the Buccaneers who had a good 1997 season and look to improve on it. However, the Bucs lost the first two games of the season, scoring only an average of 11 points. But then, BAM, they host the Chicago Bears at home and Shula puts up 27 points and a victory.

 

I expect to see a competent offense on Sunday moving the ball. I expect a few long plays for touchdowns that will have the fans thinkging maybe, just maybe, this team finally has it together. Maybe Rivera is a good head coach afterall. Maybe we were all wrong about him.

 

It will be a nice sentiment going into the bye week.

You have been up too late Zod.

 

I will be at the stadium and in my heart, would love for the Panthers to win.

 

Sadly, I see Giants  38, Panthers 20.

 

...particularly sad as I'm staying over in Charlotte Sunday, which means, all I'll hear are Giants fans.

 

The only hope is the Manning is not a mobile QB; but, the receivers for the Giants will tear up that secondary.

Do we get to use the 98 Bucs defense?

it would be nice, but i just don't see it happening. they score too much and we're allergic to it this year.

 

i fully expect rivera to say in his pressure today that he doesn't see the sense in having a high scoring offense because the other team is just going to score as well and then everyone just gets tired. 

 

and then sunday the game plan will be to philosophically prove that you can win a game by keeping your score low....meanwhile the giants drop 50 on us.

      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.

      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.
