Everyone's favorite part of Tuesday morning.

 

Yahoo: 11 

 

A win over Atlanta this week wouldn't validate them, but it's necessary. A chance for validation comes the week after, at San Francisco.

 

 

SB Nation: 9

 

Don't look now, but after a 1-3 start the Panthers have been playing some high-quality ball. Offensive coordinator Mike Shula is finally figuring out what to do with Cam Newton, and their defensive front is handing out weekly beatings. They're working around weak links on the OL and in the secondary, but their strengths could land them a wild card while preventing the Saints from resting on their laurels in the South.

 

 

USA Today: 11

 

Broncos East? Panthers have scored 30 or more in last four victories.

 

 

CBS: 13

 

Winning three consecutive games is impressive, but now comes a tough stretch to prove they are playoff worthy: Atlanta, San Francisco and New England.

 

 

NBC/PFT: 13

 

We’ll believe in the Panthers once they prove that they can deal with adversity.

 

 

Fox: 14

 

The Panthers are now over .500 for the first time since 2008 and have won eight of their last 11. That's the sixth-best winning percentage during that span.

So according to PFT, if we win blowouts the rest of the way they still wont believe in us?

 

It's the attitude most here used to downplay the Seahawks last night. They want the Panthers to win a close game but any other team it's used to downplay the win.

NFL.com has moved us up two spots to 12.

 

Carolina's defense sure looks the part. Through seven games, defensive coordinator Sean McDermott's group has balled out, allowing 13.7 points per contest. While Cam Newton is receiving much pub for the Panthers' recent mini-run -- they've won four of their last five -- the defense is what could push this team past the Lions or Packers for the NFC's sixth seed. ThinkingRon Rivera's seat might now be air-conditioned.

 

 

That ass feels a little cooler now, and the butt pucker is probably a lot more relaxed.

    • If you need someone to run your multi-billion dollar business, maaayyyybe don't hire a guy whose previous work experience includes repeated blows to the head and literal brain damage but IDK.
    • Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.
    • I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
