Yeah his deep ball accuracy is poo. We left at least 2 TDs on the field because of overthrown balls.

Nobody is that dumb.

3 AND OUT

This will probably be our toughest game so far, but they have some glaring weaknesses. This is very much a winnable game.

Eh. Here's the thing. NOBODY projected us to beat the Saints. We weren't suppose to. I understand though, things happened with the Saints. We still weren't picked to be winners. The Saints game, even amongst fans, was always kind of a tossup in the offseason. Nobody really knew what they would be like; what should be expected from Jameis. At any rate, whether we were SUPPOSED to be 3-0 or 2-1 isn't really the big thing here. We weren't SUPPOSED to be the #1 defense in the NFL. In fact we were projected to be 25th. We certainly weren't projected to be on a historic pace for yards allowed and rush yards allowed. The 2000 Ravens allowed 60 yards rushing per game. We're allowing 45 per game. No RB has rushed for more than 25 yards against us. Are those stats going to stay that impressive for 14 more games? No, of course not. But my point is, we weren't SUPPOSE to suffocate those teams. Yeah we beat who we were supposed to beat, but we've done so decidedly, so much so that we're the only NFL team this season who has never played from behind. As far as respect goes, if we are talking about from the media, that won't happen until we win consistently. It's not a one year thing (see 2015). It's a year after year we're in the playoff hunt. Nobody is going to put their reputation out there and say the Panthers are real contenders. Gotta prove it.

Burns and Reddick have had sacks in every single game, including against the Saints bookend pro bowler left and right tackles. We DOMINATED the Saints oline. I think you have a better oline so instead of 4 we'll have 3. Oh they are the only duo in the league with both having a sack every week btw. Also we have 17 players on our roster with QB hits. We have dominated lesser teams. It's what we were supposed to do. Y'all don't know what's coming your way. I'm not sure if it's funny or sad. I just hope your players think the same as you. The Saints did and they left that game much more humble after we curb stomped them. Nobody thought we'd win that game either after they destroyed GB. You really think y'all are going to put up triple our average pts allowed? The Saints put up 7 pts against compared to how many in their other games? You think you're the only explosive offense in the league? Win or lose tomorrow is going to be fun. Dak is getting hit early and often and just because of you, THAT is what I'll root for this game.

You didn't mention the Saints and Winston. After crowning him week one with his 5 tds, the media had a field day on him after week 2....

This is the best part about our wins. When we win, our opponents get poo on. At least the disrespect gets shared.

There's a good video floating around here on our run defense. Has to do with how they line up and how they react to what the oline is doing. As far as I can tell, it's a combination of scheme and the players going all in, even CB's.

Do the TE's stay in and block or usually run routes? Against us, I'd guess they are probably better off as receivers with the hopes Dak gets the ball out with a free runner in his face. When we rush 4, there are typically at least a couple blockers just doing nothing, so extra blockers won't help them as much as more targets.

Our defense is on pace to be "the greatest NFL defense of all time" statwise, across the board. I don't expect that to hold all season long, but man is this group special. I really hope our defense puts up some significant stats against the Cowboys high powered offense. I cannot see how our defense wouldn't show out on Sunday because if it's not our defense, then it says a whole lot about how brutally awful the past 3 teams are - as in all 3 being the worst offenses in the history of the NFL. I just don't think you get 3 historically bad offenses from 3 different teams in the same season.

You and the other guy and the guy sucking on Dak Prescott's dick or whatever are all the same person, aren't you? Also weird name. Micah has how many sacks this year so far? Not very many. In fact your ENTIRE TEAM has less sacks than ONE of our DE's. So when you say Parsonsinyourface, you mean at a pleasant respectful distance, huh? You know Dak is going to spend a lot of time on his back on Sunday right? You know our dline put up numbers against all pro tackles right? Come back with a Zeke name please. I got some stuff to say about that run game too. Or Pollard or whomever. I know Zeke is kinda washed up at this point

Yeah I don't quite get why our defense hasn't been used before. You can literally line up the same formation every play and rush only 4 every down and it constantly come from different directions. I don't see how an oline can defend it at all. I like how there is a name for it, it's not a new concept, but yet I've seen so many articles and videos dissecting our defense. The Broncos have a great defense and are #1 in points allowed per game right now, but there are no videos out there doing deep dives on what makes them tick. All in all, whatever it is, this defense is special, and smart people are realizing it.

These people and their stupidity are hilarious. I almost feel bad for them.

You know you aren't the first to walk in here with talk like that this year. I'm not going to sit here and say this will be an easy win like you because that's dumb as fug, but I will say we aren't the Eagles. You'll see soon enough.

You are the dumbest person alive. I really hope you don't believe the stuff you spew. What's sad though is your team got whipped so bad that you have to come back here weekly to cry about it. I kinda love how you are now our personal bitch. You really should just go stay on your own forums but you secretly like the abuse, don't you?

Going homer, though I know this very well could be a loss. Panthers 26 Cowboys 19 Less than 300 total yards for the Cowboys. Less than 75 yards rushing with YPC being under 3.

They're probably about 90% right. Or, how many of them would you pick differently? I know personally, I'd go with the majority on most of those games; probably 8 or 9 of them are no duh picks. Browns/vikings surprises me. I'd thought that would lean more towards than Browns.

Yeahhh...when I said throwback rock I mean, Green Day. Maybe Pearl Jam.

I agree. Instead will get snippets of various songs. Still going to be an amazing show. Sounds like one of the best lineups since I was a kid. @ichigo1057 I agree a rock band would be good, but at this point who? I don't think there are many left that are relevant and that are main stream enough. It would have to be a throwback type thing, kind of like this rap show is.

They had 160 yards on the ground against the Eagles and almost 200 against the Chargers. The rushing attack has to be shut down and in doing so, will allow our elite pass rushers to feast on Dak. Their middle is weakest, so I'd expect to see lots of short to intermediate passes that stresses the LB core. Winning the turnover battle is absolutely key. They have 8 turnovers I believe in 3 games. We cannot afford turnovers and still expect to win the game.

Yes! And on certain topics he ends up going on and on with such depth that it's obvious he knows what he's talking about and the man is dripping football knowledge. It's not every question, and there are plenty of fluff answers, but when he starts talking deeper, you can tell he's legit. I've been hyped since day 1. I'm not going to say I was blindly sold on him, but the product on the field I think speaks for itself, especially on defense - which is a statement that could have been made 6 months ago regarding the defense.

21. Cowboys aren't putting more than 20 pts against this defense unless we have turnovers. Last week, they had 160 yards on the ground. They aren't going to break 100 yards rushing against us. Once the run game is shut down, our line will feast just like they did against the Saints oline. Their multiple Pro Bowlers could not stop our blitzes. If we don't turn the ball over, we need 21 to win. Book it.

You don't like anything though tbh. Bet you don't like the Panthers being 3-0.

That post is from the 19th, before the Houston game. No time stamp that I can see on the post, but my guess is it's after the Saints game, because at that point it would appear to be a reoccurring problem, thus the thread.
