Welcome to the Panthers at Texans Gameday Thread!

 

Is Kyle Allen the real deal or a flash in the pan?

Today we take another step into finding out.

Saw the pic of Allen’s game day suit. Made me think about how much I’d love for him to show up to the post game presser in some crazy feather hat and babushka scarf just to send the anti-cam crowd into a frenzy lol

The things that Allen has been doing right are traits you don't often see in young quarterbacks out of the gate. Specifically his poise and pocket movement behind a developing OL.

That and his accuracy/timing/rhythm with the receivers gives me hope that even if he struggles some against Houston, he still has the tools to win games for us. There will inevitably be some ups and downs with any quarterback. If that happens the usual village idiots will turn on him, but those of us that have actually watched the Panthers play over the years know what to expect from a young QB.

Looking forward to it.  Win or lose it should be a fun game to watch.  With a backup in, it feels like some of the pressure of the game is off.  You dont expect too much as a fan......well I dont anyways.

I hope he continues to play well. If the Panthers lose today, I hope it is not because Allen looks like a dumpster fire

This ain't the Panthers we've grown accustomed to since Cam was drafted - with holes and ignored positions all over the place.

2 dynamic receivers. And quality 3 and 4!

One of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.

A revamped offensive line going into their 4th game together. 

Greg Olsen still has something in the tank.

Upgraded pass rush!

2 starting caliber cornerbacks!

2 starting caliber safeties - been a looonnngg time since this was the case!

All this team needs is consistent, healthy QB play. Anything more and they'll blow the Texans out.

Oh, forgot to mention an actual NFL caliber offensive coordinator!

I'd put this team against anyone right now! No homer!

any word on donte yet?   interested to see how we do against watson.  he's really good.  also want to see how the o-line does, and of course excited for kyle 'hall of fame, 2 way player, about to get 60mil/yr' allen.   i'm expecting a very physical game.  hoping nobody gets hurt, specially watson.  they're putting him in the same situation down there cam got put in and i hate it for him.

I think we will see Allen get nicked up and we will get our first glimpse of Will Grier. Not saying this is good, I just have a feeling that’s what we will see.

My biggest concern is that OL. Can they protect him against a pretty stout DL.

[Mikey818]

Allen plays well and shows that we should be undefeated if he had of been the starter from game 1

I think it's going to be a close game, unless our defense just tears up the Texan's line. If that happens, it's Katie-bar-the-door. Of course, if they tear up ours, it's the same.

The offensive lines will be the decision makers today. I like our running game, but their passing game might, just might, be a bit better than ours. 

I think Allen will have a solid game and keep us in it. I'd love to see him take home another win.
