Official Panthers - Patriots Gameday Thread


Zod

Recommended Posts

In their most anticipated Monday Night Football game in years, the Panthers seek to establish themselves as a top tier team in the NFL.

 

The Bank will be blacked out and louder than ever this evening.

 

 

On TV: ESPN

 

Radio: 1110WBT

 

I will be tweeting observations and pics starting at 7pm, follow @CarolinaHuddle

 

Keys to a Panthers victory:

 

1. Long sustained scoring drives, keep Brady off of the field.

2. Apply pressure from the front 4, blitzing will not phase Brady. The ball comes out too quickly.

3. Take advantage of Patriots rookie safety Harmon with Ted Ginn on deep routes.

4. Run, Cam, Run. Cam breaking a long run will force the Patriots to rush less and contain more.

keys are spot on, tho i would add throw to olsen early and often and handle gronk like we handled gonzo and vernon.

 

success on either team will have usage of the TEs factored in heavily. i don't think the pats can do well without gronk and i don't think they can do much to stop olsen. the advantage there is with us. cam has very little problem getting the ball to olsen and we do a good job of handling TEs.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
