Mike Mitchell's gameplan to beat the Giants: "wait for a fourth-quarter implosion."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. does mike mitchell forget he plays for the NFL's poster child for fourth-quarter implosions?

 

Free safety Mike Mitchell told The Charlotte Observer the plan is to stop the run early, force Eli Manning to pass and wait for a fourth-quarter implosion.

 
 

“Well he’s a two time Super Bowl champion. Everyone knows how streaky he can be so he’s looking to come out of that streak of throwing interceptions,” Carolina Panthers free safety Mike Mitchell said. “I respect him. He’s a great, great quarterback in this league. We just have to come out and do our job and be physical and firm with their receivers and just try to frustrate them early in the game.

 
 
the panthers are missing their two starting safeties (we all know mikell was the starter at SS, depth charts be damned) and arguably their best starting corner (the fact that it's josh norman shows how truly fugged the secondary is.) this will be the worst secondary eli has faced all season and mike mitchell is writing down bulletin board material for the giants and pinning it up there for them to see.
 
my prediction: this week's fourth-quarter implosion by the panthers for a last second loss is precipitated by a mike mitchell personal foul for fifteen yards on 4th-and-long that sets the giants up in FG range.

    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
