Welp this was the worst way to lose.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I thought it missed!

OMFG

Kicking the FG, blowing the last timeout, and blitzing to leave the middle of the field open!

Nearly hit the ref.

Contain the QB.

Idiotic run!

Dumb move by Oregon.

Ok DBs need to break on the ball and play the ball.

Seems like you'd want to keep that timeout.

YOU IDIOT!

Oregon is so explosive they really need 7 here obviously.

All signs are pointing to a Panthers win unless Brady goes off. Brian Burns can't disappear in this game either because the secondary is going to need his help.

When your o-line is stronger than another teams d-line, then it's going to be the same the second time you play them that season barring injuries. We'll be able to run on the Bucs like we ran it on them last time. Nothing changed. Strength is strength, it didn't disappear. They aren't suddenly going to be stronger. The main deciding factor is Brady. Will he make the big plays down field or not? If he doesn't, then we run our way to victory.

Just give me a competitive game and whatever happens is fine.

Just stop the run and make Brady drop it in the holes of the zone. If he beats us doing that, then so be it.

Realistically I think he can lose a pound of fat before the Bucs game, but who knows.

I feel like this is how you see him:

I can't really blame the Panthers or Fitt for the CB situation because no team can absorb losing two starting CBs and not dip down into the poop area of their roster. We have to have Norman just because some of our other options who will not be named are teeeeeerrrrrible.

The team dietitian will look to drop that weight the instant the ink is dry on his contract, and the weight should come off quickly. He's certainly not going to be on his own out there or I'll need a few drinks.

Seeing Norman back out there is certainly going to be odd. The good news is Brady can't really through deep as well anymore, so Norman has a better chance of being effective against the Bucs. We still need to give him a safety over the top just in case.

Weight can be lost very quickly. He'll basically be giving a cushion so he doesn't get beaten deep, and come up to make the tackle on shorter passes. That can be effective for a guy who has a long career's worth of experience and is watching the QB carefully.

So I totally called that.

"Hello.. is this Josh Norman? Yes we need you."
