Alright.. Who are you guys pulling for in this game.. I am inclined to pull for the Lions to put Green Bay further out of playoff contention for when and if Aaron Rodgers returns..

Thoughts?

 

Good reasoning, but I think he's still a ways away from coming back yet.  If the records were equal, I might go with the Lions, but I'm pulling for the Packers since they do have that tie.  Calvin Johnson scares me as much as anyone in football.  I don't know why they don't go his way every single play.  The first drive he was automatic as always.  Bush fumble gives it away.

Good point.. I have both Megatron and Bush starting today for my FF team... Fugging Bush...

I thought I heard somewhere that Rodgers wanted to see if he was ready to play come next weekend.. Not sure if there is any truth to those rumors though..

Even if he does, it's playing with fire IMO.  It's hard to see someone being effective without the proper rest for a broken collarbone, even to the non-throwing shoulder.  JMO.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
