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

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??

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?

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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
