The Panthers were 1-2 with their only victory against a Head Coach-less New Orleans Saint team in disarray.

 

Trailing a 3-0 Atlanta Falcon team and tied with the Bucs for 2nd place already 2 games back.

 

This year the Panthers are again 1-2 with their only victory against a Giant team on the decline and in disarray.

 

Again tied in 2nd place 2 games back this year to the 3-0 Saints.

 

What does Ron Rivera and the Panthers do this year to avoid quickly falling out of contention for the NFC South Crown or a Wild Card spot as they did last year?

 

What's the difference this year to last?

The only reason the Giants are in disarray is because they are losing. It's not the same issue as the Saints had last year. They are really unfortunate to go to Dalles, then play Denver, and then play us. That's a tough draw. Quit searching for reasons to calm your own excitement and bask in the glory of a shutout.

The last shutout was in 2008, didn't we make the playoffs that year? Weren't the chiefs in disarray that year? When's the last time Dwill was averaging 100 yards per game?

First difference that comes to mind is our D.

Next is the fact that I still do not believe the Saints are as good as their record would indicate. That D will be tested and pressure always frustrates Bree's when he can't step up in the pocket.

The giants are better than they look its just an odd set of circumstances why they look so poor. They really deflated after we went up 17-0 and knew we got the ball after the half.

This is the cats team I was looking for. Seatle was a beast and we hung tough. Buffalo was a let down "trap game" and NY was ths team finally understanding what it takes to be successful.

Prepare your bodies boys, this s abut to get good.

The next few games may actually be a fairly favorable stretch. We could actually be decently on the positive side by mid year.

The last half of the season is what will tell the story.

Like last year? And the year before. The beginning of the year will tell the story. This team has to worry Ron will be fired to win, so I hope the media and us fines keep up the fire Rivera mantra.

It's playoffs or busy for Ron so that's what will tell the story of this season. For us there is no favorable stretch. We can beat anyone, we can lose to anyone.

To build on your statement of going up 17. That is 3 games where we have scored right before the half. We have a great 2-4 minute offense.

the win against the saints last year was ok, but nowhere near the dominant performance we saw today, but one game is just one game. we're still battling futility.

 

what needs to change is that foot of rivera's needs to stay on that gas pedal and avoid tapping the brake pedal and that pink slip needs to be right there in his rearview mirror. if he slows up, he's done.

Only reason the giants appear in disarray is because our dline can get to immobile eli unlike last year. Welcome to the new NFL where your QB may need to be mobile to at least get a chance to throw away the football and not lose yardage.

I don't honestly remember the last time I saw a performrance like today's from the Panthers, though the Giants game with Matt Moore starting comes to mind.

 

Coughlin's record against the Panthers is 6-2, both losses being blowouts.  I guess when it comes to Coughlin's Giants, we either lose to them or beat the snot out of 'em.

It's much like this and past year's teams ability to flash and then shut it off for long stretches.

Leaving us fans furious and pounding our heads against a wall in frustration.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
