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.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
