Chuba to IR

[TLGPanthersFan]

Guess we’ll get to see what Bryce can do without a run game to fall back on. He already failed miserably against the Cowboys. Can he improve?

[L-TownCat]

Well that kinda sux.

I’m ok with it just be competitive 

Honestly, I am not sure that is likely to happen minus Chuba. I suspect the coaching staff will compensate by going hardcore passing(60+%) over these last two contests and that is really not our identity as a team yet. IMO.

I hope we at least see them battle like they did against Dallas versus some of the early season stompings. 

I also hope we don't kill all Bryce's momentum in these last two games.

I won't lie, very nervous about these last two games now.

Speaking of draft position, this was curious to me--Any background information that would justify a 4-point swing in the line (making New Orleans the home dog against the 3-win Raiders)?

My guess would be whether or not Kamara plays, they are like an entirely different team without him

Was he on the injury report? This seems out of nowhere 

He was.

It's not all on Bryce in that regard. When our coaching staff goes heavy passing attack, across Dalton and Bryce, it is rarely a recipe for success. We just don't have the personnel for it. 

Our pass catchers lack elite talent and our OL is solid in pass blocking but dominant in run blocking. Without a credible run threat, the whole offense is substantially less capable.

We just have to hope Boone and Blackshear can hit these holes that OL is making enough to keep the offensive playcallers from utterly abandoning the run or starting to get too gimmicky with the playcalling to compensate.

I just saw him being listed as questionable as of Friday. I(and I guess a lot of people) must have missed that. Damn.

[uncfan888]

So we end the season with 4 wins

Yeah he has been listed as questionable since Tuesday or Wednesday if I remember correctly. This game will get ugly by the 2nd quarter if we have no run game at all.

Oh god dammit I took panthers +8 fug me Vegas knew

I guess he must have gotten banged up against Arizona. Or these just could be nagging injuries that they finally said "fug it" to.

I certainly hope so. We're going to find out. This to me is the biggest test of the season for Bryce. He doesn't even need to win. But we need to look competent and at least vaguely formidable. He's a first overall pick.

He came up limping at one point during the game but I cannot remember the exact play. He seemed to have shook it off and finished the game. I guess it caught up with him or as you say it's probably just shutting him down to avoid making it worse.

My understanding on Hubbard is there was a flare up later in the week and after additional testing the #Panthers decided he wouldn’t play this week as a precaution. With one week left and plenty of roster puzzling to do, they needed the roster spot.
