How the Panthers got their groove back (NFL.com article)

Haha I love the title they gave this piece on the NFL.com front page.

 

This is a very long article analyzing our performance recently.

They're back!

That's what the NFL world is saying about the Carolina Panthers, who have reeled off three wins in four games to insert themselves into the conversation about possible playoff teams.

fug Bucky Brooks.

 

Oh wait, he said good stuff?

I'm new here...am I doing this right?

 

 

yeah that's pretty much what goes on around here.

 

For real though, Bucky Brooks used to be a Panthers scout, and went to Carolina, so he does have a soft spot for us I think. He does good work over there for the NFL though....not like some of the morons that are out there

Nice read.  Really liked this quote:

 

"Part of Newton's recent success can be attributed to his decision to finally take the check-down when deeper routes are covered. He's also scrambling more to pick up positive yards when receivers fail to come open downfield. This has allowed the Panthers to stay ahead of the chains and avoid the kinds of long-yardage situations that play into the hands of defenders."

 

Cam has started to understand the little things that make the big difference.  His play over the past three games has been beyond stellar.  I hope (and believe) he had gotten over the hump and is ready to consistently deliver wins.

no. bucky says good things about us quite frequently, esp. this year.

 

he's kind of a weekly fixture on the drive and usually is very positive about what's going on around here.

I keep looking at my calendar but it still say's today is Tuesday. FUG!!!

 

stare harder.

 

it moves quicker that way.

 

and if you focus on one tiny point of it and let it get a little blurry you'll see a unicorn riding a dolphin in 3D.

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
