Marc Sessler of NFL.com predicts Panthers will bounce back this week

It's starts on defense, where Carolina's front seven has outstanding talent. Rookie nose tackle Star Lotulelei already is dominating offensive linemen and makes for an overpowering duo with fellow tackle Kawann Short. Luke Kuechly might be the best middle linebacker in the NFL. There's an excess of talent to build on here.

The Panthers were nipped by the Seahawks 12-7 in Week 1 and lost to the Bills in Week 2 on a fevered, game-winning drive led by rookie quarterback EJ Manuel. It's a tough way to start the season, but the blame falls on the offense. I posited Wednesday that if coordinator Mike Shula was to be replaced by someone with even an ounce of appreciation for moving the ball creatively, we'd be staring at a different team.

We all feel as though this team can and should win more often than it does.  I know others have made their feelings on how or why we are this or that but I truly see the talent on this team being hindered by a coaching staff that doesn't know what to do or how to put it together.  This all then fall back to the players who sense this kind of thing and look at each other like who the hell is running this thing anyway? 

 

The Panthers are a talented team more so than our record has shown.  Rivera is clueless on how to run an entire team, Shula doesn't know how to use the weapons he actually has and there are a few spots on the team that are woefully undermanned.

 

I firmly believe that this is all stemming from a philosophical ignorance.  No identity, No chemistry, No leadership from coaches.  Everyone is too busy looking over their shoulders for the ax man rather than focusing on how to best utilize what we have and start winning.

 

Cam cannot be used the way he has in these first 2 games its complete lunacy to take away everything hes good at and make him focus on the areas that have proven a bit too difficult at this stage.  He needs less decision making, more improvisation, quick reads, and a better right tackle. 

 

This defense should be forever attacking forcing turnovers and giving up the occasional big play as most opportunistic defenses do from time to time.

 

All in all these are problems that can be masked, alleviated, fixed or whatever.  Its just a shame we have to do this kind of crap during the season.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
