Official Panthers - Jets Gameday Thread


Zod

Recommended Posts

Today the Panthers have a chance to get back on the playoff track. A win today would be a confidence booster going into two divisional games. A loss would be devastating and cause fans to question the resolve of this team when the pressure is on.

 

 

Where: Bank of America Stadium

When: 4:05 Kickoff

Radio: 1110 WBT

TV: CBS

Keys to Panthers Victory

 

- Open up the offense. The Panthers won't be running the ball well with the Jets stacking the box defensively. Cam must throw the ball and force the Jets defense to stay honest.

 

- Contain Geno Smith. Do not allow a repeat of a rookie mobile QB beating you with his legs and buying time. (See week 2)

 

- Blitz, Blitz, and Blitz again. Geno is not Drew Brees. He will struggle finding a target quickly enough if adequate pressure if applied.

 

 

Prediction:

 

Panthers 27

Jets 13

After last week's game, and with us hosting the Saints again next week I suppose there could be a letdown.  Other than that small possibility I see no other reason that this one would be close.  Come out strong and put them away early.

 

Panthers 27

Jets 7

 

Bonus Prediction:

 

Saints 17

Rams 23

Honestly kinda nervous about this one. It just feels weird.

And since we lost last week, all of my superstitions that caused us to win 8 straight now seem moot. Idk what to do with myself, switch it up? Or stick with the same strategy?

21-17, Jets.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
