Gettleman- It feels like 2015 again.

[panthers55]

Here is an article talking about how Gettleman and Rivera are purposely trying to recreate 2015. They are all in and honestly I have been saying the same thing since the offseason and draft. I sure hope they are right.....

I just wish it didn't take "going all in" to finally draft some playmakers on offense for Cam to offset the giant WR's we've had for a few years.  Should have done that long ago, but it's cool, just focused on the 2017 season now.  Our locker room chemistry is definitely just as strong as 2015 (if not stronger) and the talent is obviously there!  Let's make it happen b/c that 2015 season was so damn fun, ha

I think Jerricho and Peanut were a huge part of our 2015...Not so much play on the field, but leadership and chemistry in the locker room.  We got Jerricho back....Bring back Peanut to coach DBs!!!

Just like 2015, we expect nothing from Kelvin Benjamin.

 We had the talent for a 12-4 season last year since we lost 6 games by 3 points or less and we had the terrible injuries to the oline , kuechly, bradberry, and cam.

If we somehow manage to stay healthy this season we have alot more talent on the roster, and also much more veteran presence on the defensive side and at least we brought back cotchery to work with our young WR core. Baring injuries you can expect playoffs but anything that happens there , any given sunday.. 

I'm very curious how good McCaffrey and Samuel end up being. It'll help alot if they are even servicable and allow us to have some semblance of a short passing game that other defenses have to respect.

"We have some really good depth in a lot of places. But the salary cap doesn't allow you to have quality depth everywhere," Gettleman said.
I wish more people on this board understood this.

this is the type of poo that will get us caught up don't bank on 2015 ever happening again go into the season with a new outlook and new goal for the team, see what happened last year? We were 1-5 & Ron talking about playoffs lmao like you've gotta be kidding me

 our beliefs as fans shouldnt have any affect on how the team actually does

But I found out through an interview Olsen did before the Super Bowl this year , he literally said there were people on the team who thought we could just coast to victory and werent trying as hard after 2015 season. So its only a problem if the players are full of themselves. Which I doubt they are after 2016 and a last place divisional finish. The only people that had great 2016s , Olsen, Bradberry, and Addison.

Actually, Cotchery made a lot of big clutch catches on the field. In fact, that seems to be one of the most important pieces this offense was missing last season. With Peanut, you could pretty much tell he was about done even before he got hurt.

FTR, it feels like 2015 to me too, and I haven't even seen them in person yet.

Let's not recreate 2015. Season didn't end well.

I think the big fallacy that most people fall into is that the 2015 season was something of a fluke and that it was just business as usual in the NFC South for a team to win big and then fall fast.

They forget that the team was a playoff contender in three of the last four seasons, instead working the angle that 2015 was just catching lightning in a bottle.

The truth is this team, since the arrival of Gettleman, has been built to compete. It leans heavily on Cam, but there's strength throughout and the kind of depth you see in perennial contenders for the championship. We have coaching continuity and veterans who want to be here and build a legacy.

This is a team built to make it to the playoffs and that means it is meant to take on the well-QB'd teams like the Saints and Falcons and grind out enough wins to spin them out of the playoffs each year. We regularly do that. And in 2016, even with an injury-riddled and -rattled team, we were competitive in most of the games we lost.

2015 wasn't the anomaly, it was part of the norm. 2016 was the fluke, one caused by a Superb Owl hangover, a short offseason and some very key injuries.

We'll take the NFC South again this year, that's what we're built to do. And once you get in the playoffs, you've always got a chance.

Oh I know. We wouldn't have beaten Seattle without Jerricho. Olsen made the game winner, but Jerricho made the huge catch prior (believe it was 4th down catch).

You know what I'm saying though.
