Of the games left on the schedule, this one would be the least painful loss...

Before you jump on my case with your bad juju nonsense, I don't believe in any of that crap.

 

So anyways, looking at the rest of the schedule, if the Panthers were to lose one more game (which is highly likely), the game tomorrow would be the one you would want to lose. On the road against an AFC team.

 

The rest of the games on the schedule are either at home, against a division rival, or both.

 

So, logically speaking, if you had to choose at gunpoint one game to lose from here on out, its Miami

 

 

That said, I think we win tomorrow. But just something to consider. A small part of me thinks if we need to lose one to get hungry and focused again as we are brought back down to earth, its against Miami.

If we win tomorrow and sweep the Bucs, we'll be sitting at 9-3. That's where I want to be rolling into the Saints game. We're on too much of a roll right now and I really hope we don't lay an egg.

I agree. That best time to lose mentality doesn't cut it when you are trying to win a division and put the league on notice.

The Panthers need to focus on this week alone and just win baby !

I don't know why but this game scares me more than the Monday Night game did last week. I don't see us winning the South unless we sweep NO. I am pretty sure they would own the tie breaker with points per game if we were to split with them. I think we would pretty much be even in all the other tie breakers if the season plays out with no surprises. So to me loosing here is not an option if we want to win the South.

People think if we lose tommorrow than suddenly people forget about us and wont take us seriously anymore. I totally disagree. The fact remains is every great team has a WTF kind of loss. The Colts got completely blown out by the lowly Rams in Indy and noone suddenly considered them a joke and pretenders. The fact remains a loss tommorrow means we are still 7-4 and still hold tie breakers over the entire NFC except the Cards and still would have that final WC spot.

The wins against NE and San Fran were huge in that it gave us a little wiggle room for error incase we do have a let down game we would stil be in a great position. The NE and San Fran wins gave us a nice little rainy day fund in the bank.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
