Carolina Panthers

[Canes]

Saints look really good. Will be tough to win the division. We're looking at a wild card realistically.

Only 1 game back and 2nd half of the season to go and they play us 2x when we normally do our best in December. Remember the Bucs put 48 at their place as their only loss.

 

[Canes]

Our defense couldn't stop them last season and their offense is even better this season. If we beat them, we'll have to play close to perfect.

 

[Wolfpuck]

It's an ugly 6-2, but it's still 6-2. I'll take it.

 

[Tryamw]

Panthers march down the field 22 does his thing.

Then they do a Cane's thing and give it right back

Saints schedule is hilariously brutal. Steelers, Eagles, Falcons, Panthers twice with the "easy" games being at Bengals and at Dallas, and Tampa always gives us problems for some reason. It'll probably come down to the last week of the season again.

 

[Tryamw]

And Cam throws a prayer Steelers rejoice

 

[The Faulker 27]

Panther's channeling their inner Canes.

Yeah I doubt it. Maybe with the Saints and Falcons.

Panthers' success is smoke and mirrors.

Their defense has serious problems, and I'm still not sold on the offense.

I simply do not understand how this defense got to be so well regarded around the league. They've been absolutely terrible this year.

Still living on past reputation.

They have one competent unit, and that's their linebackers. DL is bad and the secondary is even worse.

I guess the takeaway margin and run D but they are absolutely below average against the pass and the pass rush is bad which screws us and they play considerably worse on the road.

 

[The Faulker 27]

CMC baby! Dude is a beast!

 

[A Star is Burns]

So, how bout them Canes? Ugh.

 

[Canes]

Giving up 31 points in the first half... Granted 7 points came from a pants-on-the-head-Pejorative Slured pick 6 by Cam, but still an absolutely abysmal showing by the whole team.

Steelers still have time to score more.

 

[Panthaz89]

Cam took a helmet right to the shoulder and no call for roughing the passer....QBs get clean tackled by Matthews and get a roughing that's so laughable.

 

[Canes]

Panthers aren't winning anything again this year but they still have a good shot at back to back winning seasons for the first time.

 

[cptjeff]

VERY clear that the league is doing everything they can to go after Reid. That call was 3000% bullshit. Incidental contact after he was pulling back from a hit- it was a late slide and Reid was just trying to make a normal hit, pulled away, and lightly clipped the guy. It happens, and he had no way of stopping it.

 

[The Faulker 27]

This team.

 

[Canes]

Still pretty mediocre unfortunately. The defense needs a complete overhaul if we ever wanna return to any type of championship game while Kuechly is still here.

Might just be the head ref, 65+ year old 6th generation dairy farmer from arizona.

 

[HisIceness]

The Panthers are never beating Pittsburgh again.

Which doesn't hurt too much since different conferences and all.

 

[Svechhammer]

Don't get your hopes up on this team. With this secondary and seeing the last 3 games as NO, Atlanta, NO.... I could see them backsliding out of the playoff picture entirely the last few weeks of the season if the rest of the NFC keeps it close.

 

[NotOpie]

watched the game....no, just no....

 

[DaveG]

FWIW I still don't get NFL games on a frigin Thursday when the teams played the Sunday before. And I'm a damn Steelers fan saying that.
