Pathetic they are out of position they do t want to challenge the run chin Get your ass out of your ass they are challenging you

My god

Poor

Not an impressive start by any means

A lot depends on the lines today they need to keep Wyatt and is counterpart boxed out. ..and then Sam comfortable I believe this is the first time since 2018 the games have had meaning in December let’s see who steps up these next 4 games on this young team. someone mentioned the run game of the Ravens. The Ravens also have an all world TE and WRs that have to be accounted for and that takes focus from the run game…the Panthers have a knicked up Moore in the passing game….that’s it regardless I’m going to be optimistic and say Panthers 20, Steelers 13, one of the TDs will be defense or special teams darnold has a sub 200 yard day. 14 of 20, one interception one TD, running it for all the world, I’d love to see Darnold have a 300 yard day and look like a nfl qb I just don’t know he has it in him

The Steelers aren’t a good matchup as they are better run defenders than pass and well that points to a reliance on Darnold plus a little bit banged up with the WRs and Burns that said, if they can’t beat a Trubisky led team, there isn’t much hope for the rest of the schedule Panthers 17, Steelers 13 One of those TDs will be from the defense I’d love for darnold to light it up but even last week, there were two throws that were easy picks…..it just didn’t happen

Exactly right

Wrong Higgins. You got me. Wishful thinking on my part. If only he was as decent as Tee

Yep. That is what Coach said Friday buy he also said ‘game time decision’ and did not sound confident on Moore’s ability to do the plays calked for him as for Shenault, tape him up and send him out there

Shenault needs to play, shoulder or not Higgins would come in for Shenault Bad enough DJ is a game time decision my concern is without DJ, there is not one receiver that Steeler defense will take seriously….not one …they will load up to stop the run and dare Darnold to pass to Marshall and Higgins It’s not like the TEs can catch either the game is going to come down to the workarounds from McAdoo adjusting for losing those two guys and I just don’t think he is capable just hoping for the best now

I swear Laviska is always hurt. Never has anyone played so little and hurt so much. Excerpts from Ellis Williams, Charlotte Observer The Carolina Panthers may be without two of their top receivers Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Laviska Shenault is another pillar of the Panthers’ run-pass option scheme. His presence as a slot receiver running bubble screens threatens opposing linebackers and forces them to expand with him, which opens run lanes for running backs D’Onta Foreman, Chuba Hubbard, and Raheem Blackshear. One concern that was D.J. (Moore) was limited and still is questionable. We’ll check his status as we proceed and move forward,” Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks said. “It’s not so much of a setback. It just really is trying to see whether or not he’s going to be able to sustain and be efficient.” Tee Higgins is next man up for Laviska

It is because the Panthers were their trap game ahead of Thursday night with the divisional game against the 49ers looming

Here is the other part of this equation what parts are working that can be fine tuned are. The defense. Special teams and OL Parts not working is the qb, offensive scheme, improvement needed in TE and WR personnel why would the Panthers cut out the part that isn’t working and fix it vs another wholesale change being a first year HC is difficult. Haven’t we seen that show enough? wlks fits this franchise and this area. If he wins 2 of the last 4,he has more than won this job

Apologize I didn’t nit see the previous link in 3 to 4 pages Here’s the latest draft position

I like Coach Wilks a lot The offense is one dimensional now because it has to be we all know the reasons for this He needs an offense that can do both He knows that. I read he had what proved to be the right QB ranks and Rosen was forced on him by the GM

Probably would, but this young team needs to learn what it takes to win when it matters and the difference in intensity between regular season and playoffs

It’s really far too early to decide much depends on 1. Who the OC is. 2. What system is run. 3. How Darnold does these last 4 games 4. Free agency and the cap 5. and finally Darnold’ himself ..who isn’t to say he wouldn’t want to return back to the West Coast in my mind Darnold is, unfortunately a backup, as he just can’t process quick enough even during the Seattle game, he came very close to two interceptions, one, in the red zone when under pressure and the other throwing into double coverage it’s really a shame but he just can’t do those reads quick enough for the nfl. folks on this board also act like trading up for a qb that they really like is out of the question I suspect that once the combine happens, AR is going to go way up on his potential alone The Panthers need an upgrade at WR, TE, DT, Edge, and depth throughout it really depends on who the HC is

My poor colleague on the board…Tepper, and the Panthers legacy of bad choices, have beaten you down Rhule is gone. Breathe. Breathe. PTMR or PTDT can rob a person’s spirit. Just say ‘no’

Then I sincerely apologize to you it’s in vogue not just on this page, but life in general, to be miserable instead of having a little bit of joy in the moment about anything I don’t know if they will win another game, just as a long time PSL Holder, I’m glad for the fans, the coaches and players to have something to cheer for in December…. ….with Sam Darnold, no less i mean my god, it’s a miracle. Granted he tried twice to give it away but by God, he didn’t

That TE from ND is pretty amazing

If that’s what you got out of the post, that’s on you

You are exactly right

In the big picture, life is uncertain we can talk about draft and draft picks, who knows if there will even be a season next year. Covid should have taught us all a lesson about uncertainty and certainly for the younger ones. I’m old, I’ve lived through things If I’m lucky, I’ll live through more Thus, I say be very glad for the moment we are in Enjoy it our team is truly bunch of ‘Rudy’s’ with a short staffed coaching staff …giving everything they have be happy for them damnit Be happy for ourselves as fans that there is meaningful football being played this month it’s a god damned miracle pro football is about winning right now period. I could give two shakes of a rat’s ass about the draft So stop the damned sulking and be happy

Good news. Mod knee sprain and day to day he is really the only receiver we have that warrants defensive attention

You know he is playing hurt right ? he supposedly is playing with a knee injury if Wilks had a problem with him, burns knows it he talked about burns not being at full speed in his press conference can’t we just be happy in this forum for a damned second
