Dammit, can't remember a time when they didn't is why I guess.

Yeah that year we went 11-5 and lost on the 2nd or 3rd tiebreaker since Miami had the same record. Cassel was lucky that year because while we went 16-0 vs two incredibly tough divisions the year before he  got the NFC and AFC West when they were both extremely poor with the same stacked roster Brady had the next season.

How is Carolina's inside pass rush? Brady doesn't have a lot of weaknesses but being able to keep him from stepping up in the pocket is huge and Andrews our center is probably the weakest link of our line. How has the secondary looked without Norman? Has Benjamin dropped the Doritos and stopped trying to imitate Eddie Lacy? It royally sucks about Olsen but hopefully the WRs can step up. The main thing that makes Carolina a threat is like KC when they had Berry you guys are one of the select few teams that have a player talented enough to cover Gronk 1 on 1 in Kuechly. All I know is if he gets away with another bear hug in the end zone I'm doing more than throwing a lawn gnome through his window.

1. panthers inside pass rush - a solid rotation of Kawann Short, Star Lotulelei, Vernon Butler, and Kyle Love may be one of the best in the NFL. Star’s amazing as a NT and disrupts run plays, while Short’s a freaking disruptive UT. Butler’s been great in his role as a rotational UT, and Love’s been a fantastic pickup as a rotational DT.

Last week was an anomaly. We played base defense a lot and Saints pre-snap caught us a ton in mismatches. We were dominant in the few instances we played nickel that game, so expect us to go back to more nickel against the Patriots w/ better gap integrity.

2. Secondary’s fine. Got beat up against the Saints due to them attacking our zones perfectly. Bradberry did try too much with trying for the ball, and actually had a worse game than Worley tbh. But once again, we played base mostly against a spread offense, so it was tough all around.

3. Benjamin and Funchess are looking real good. Benji got hurt early against the Saints though, and Cam’s been seeing ghosts in the pocket all game. Hopefully going against your front seven will finally give our oline a break lol.

But their success comes from the slot, so that could mean something.

If you want anything else let me know. I’m the guy who usually watches film around here.

"I wouldn't judge our defense by that terrible stat just yet. The abscence of Hightower has seriously hurt. KC had some great game planning in the 4th to put up 21 unanswered and Brees is well Drew Brees. The poo show vs the rookie Watson is a bit more concerning. Currently we have a very talented secondary with a woefully underperforming front 7 that is threadbare in depth at LB and DE. I'm not saying our defense won't be trash this season but I've seen seasons like this before where we don't know what we have as we're moving pieces around and forming an identity and Week 3 is way too early to write them off. I sincerely hope Hightower is back as he is our defensive signal caller.

I've lived in SC all my life so I really wish this were a damn home game. A 2 hour drive to see Brady again is a lot better than needing a flight. My first NFL game was in 2015 when you guys played the Saints at home and a CB (I think Norman) sealed the game with a pick. Good times."

 

All that said, any given Sunday. We don't play Carolina often enough for me to know the matchups but the way teams are early in the season who knows how this one goes. Btw, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading you guys Superbowl thread when the Atlanta meltdown started.  

So if you have lived in the Carolinas all your life why do you not root for the Panthers?  Just curious

What do you think Cam's issue is? I live in SC so most of my friends are Carolina fans and theyre raising holy hell at him constantly. My only thought is perhaps he is still injured?

I think his shoulder is still hurting and the nagging injuries like his ankle probably aren't feeling 100% after the beating he's taken so far. More than that though, he looks like he's completely out of rhythm. Call it ghosts in the pocket, rust, not progressing through his reads, whatever it is, he looks like he's been completely taken out of his comfort zone as a QB and it's showing through his play on the field.

In middle school I couldn't have cared less about football. There was this one kid that was a super obnoxious Packers fan that hounded me all year to choose a team so I started rooting for every team that played them out of spite. Those were the Favre glory years so of course they go on to the Superbowl but I root against them anyway. They played the Pats. And won. fug that kid. 

 

Anyway I stayed with the team ever since and now we're the fanbase with the obnoxious over the top people instead of the lovable underdogs.

Rust. Simply put, his reads were terrible. He doesn't trust his pocket, because he's playing like he's about to get sacked every snap. No faith at all in his protection.

Should get better after time, but really our offense will live and die by our offensive line performance this year.
