Something I noticed about the toughest two game stretch on the schedule

Not trying to look ahead too much, but I was looking at the schedule and BOTH the 49ers and Patriots will be coming off their bye week when they play the Panthers.  So in consecutive weeks, the Panthers will have to play the past two Superbowl runner-ups, well rested and with an extra week to game plan against Cam Newton and the Panthers.  If that's not the toughest two game stretch the Panthers have played in recent memory, I don't know what is.

 

If the Panthers win both of those games, they are legit Superbowl contenders.  I'm just hoping they can just win one of them to keep pace in the NFC.

Alot of teams have laid eggs after their bye week. The Panthers did it against the Cardinals, The Vikings were coming off a bye week when playing us. Also the Dolphins laid an egg against Buffalo this past week after coming off an bye.

 

Since 2003, the Patriots have only lost once after their bye week (2011 vs the Steelers).  And the Steelers weren't exactly slouches that year.  Tom Brady+Bill Belichick are VERY good after their bye week.

 

Jim Harbaugh's 49ers are 1-0-1 in games after their bye week.  No real tellings stats there.

They couldn't beat the rams coming off a bye, that's pretty telling.

Neither of those teams are as great as they have been in recent years IMHO, and both can be beaten. Shula needs to keep doing what he's been doing and morph his gameplan around what the defense gives, not around what he thinks we should get. And I'll put our D up against any offense in the league right now and feel like we have at least a punchers chance.

      Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
