Myths about Panthers players and coaches that were busted on Sunday.

[panthers55]

There were a number of myths about our team and coaches that were dispelled in this game.

Obviously the whole Rivera can't coach the team to a win in a close game is gone and that Shula can't call plays including gadget and trick plays is no longer germaine.  But there were a number of other myths were busted.  

 

Cam led the team to a 4th quarter score to come from behind and  propel the team to a victory which supposedly he couldn't do.  

 

The defense held a lead late and dominated much like our teams of 2005 and 1996.  

Cam threw a pick and was not very good throughout and we still won.  

Williams is over the hill and can't still deliver the big run and we don't need him.  

Smith can't be a factor as a number 1 receiver (even when he drops a few).

 

And how bout the coaches can't make halftime adjustments and in-game adjustments.  What a turnaround from the first to the second half on defense and offense.  If the receivers had caught the ball better, it wouldn't have been close. Still this was the most dominating I have seen this defense since the Tampa game in 2008.

 

Other myths??

Please change title. Sounds like you were saying they were caught with drugs. Made me nauseous when I saw it...

this thread sucks.

[chknwing]

this thread debunked the myth that panthers55 would create a worthy thread today  :)

cam said after the game that the carolina panthers "needed to win a game like this."

 

that's because historically we've lost in almost every one of those descriptive categories in football games. this time we overcame all of them at once, on the road, in spite of awful-ass refereeing, and walked out with a win.

 

i'd say that corner has been turned for a while now and we're seeing the results of it.

Shula called a very up and down game and we scored 10 points....should not be singing his praises too much....

 

And yes I know how 'good' the 9ers defense is but I personally think they are very overrated....the Colts and Hawks plastered them for example.

 

Are we really content with only putting up points vs terrible defenses?

the shula hate runs deep in that one.^^^^^^^^^

[Scrumtrilescent]

Shula drops way too many passes.

It wasn't a myth. It was very real that Ron made bad calls in close games and he realized that and changed his strategy. It's been well documented in the press that he started introspecting.

when we have an oline like the colts and hawks then we can expect to score more than 10 points on one of the leagues best defenses

You clearly don't watch much football other than the Panthers.

 

Specifically go back and watch the Rams v the Seahawks game....then get back to me on the Oline issues.

 

 

Actually you can remember our own game against them where Wilson was running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
