So I just watched a highlight vid of our 15-1 season and thought about - What if we had Burns in his current form on that squad in the SB50? Would he be enough to flip the result?

And I thought our D would be ruthless with him but idk if he wins us the game. What player can you pick off any Panthers squad and he wins us the game? 2005 Smitty?  Still idk..

Obviously dropping Moton, Wharton or Gross on the right side might do it.. but I just thought about what 1 player might flip that game. And would it be the same for 2003?

A Right Guard would prolly do it for 2015, but what does the job for '03? Maybe Kuechly in his prime? Burns playing the other side with Pep?

Anyways - I just thought it was a good 2-beers-in conversation, lmao..

Give me anyone over Mike Remmers and we win. Literally anyone in the league at the time. fug man, now I’m upset again. It’s been 6 years and I’m still not over the fact we got robbed. 

I don’t want to alarm you but it has been 7 years

Dan Morgan was no slouch. 59 was HOF good, but when healthy, 55 was really good.

I think if we had Greg Hardy available like we were supposed to for 2015 we probably would have gone undefeated and won SB 50.  He was a more complete player at the time than Burns is now. A tad less athletic maybe but much stronger in the running game and he was relentless. 
 

Having any version of Steve Smith probably wins SB 50. He would own Talib and we might get some calls going our way for a veteran player.

Make no mistake we win if the refs don’t cheat us out of the game though . That’s the real reason we lost. Headhunting Cam for 60 minutes with no flags and the BS Cotchery call are what did us in.

Exactly. The only choices to make are RT or WR.

Yessir.

Our defense gave up two FGs in that game.  The two TDs Denver scored were 1) while they were on the sidelines watching the offense give up points, and 2) brought in to defend a 4-yard field.  The other FG was off a botched punt coverage.

No amount of additional defensive talent was going to win that game.  They throttled the Denver offense. 

Now address the tackle mismatch or counter the Von Miller onslaught and give it a pause and perhaps the outcome is different.

Painful seeing in hindsight just how Gettleman botched the bag with Smitty. Terrible way of handling one of our best players ever.

Drank too much of the "Gettlemagic" kool-aid to realize how much he also destroyed the team while trying to "manage the cap."

What could've been...and what could've been had we fixed our mistakes against our lone falcons loss and prepared for those green dog blitz'. Going against a legitimate secondary with no WR open made it hell for Cam to do much of anything.

I'm still mad about 2017 too and our loss against the Saints. If Funchess tracked that ball we win and could've had an incredible run too with how Cam was playing. Damn perfect game from Newton but wasn't enough.

The talent we wasted those years, I'll never forgive this franchise for squandering it.

A disgrace we couldn't get Cam Newton, Ryan Kalil, Greg Olsen, Thomas Davis, and Luke Kuechly a ring in 2015.

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
