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.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
