Who did we beat in 04 to spur the late season push?

Im going to hope for the best and expect the worst. I know we have alot of talent. We just have to keep executing. I think the biggest improvement was the pass protection. Give the QB time to throw and we could be set. The Defense is good enough to win. Run D sucks. folks still think the pass D is overrated, i say meh. I think they are fine.

It would be awesome if we strung a bunch of wins together and finished at worst 9-7, but I'm not counting on it... In all honesty, I believe we may end up with 5-7 wins. I'm hoping for the best but I don't know that I'm buying that we play like we did yesterday consistently.

Who knows though... If Otah comes back, that would give the run game a huge boost, which ironically right now seems to be the worst part of the team after yesterday's game.

All of which were awful teams.

out of our next 6 games....I would only call Baltimore a really good team.

Rams, Bucs, Browns, Seahawks, Saints......I don't think you would have to be a homer to make a case we have a shot in those. Seattle is probably the toughest game (not a great place to play at for an opponent). Gotta judge the Saints on what they show this year, not last.

I agree with this.

if our o-line can get run blocking improved like they have pass blocking we'll be in good shape.

also, if our D-line continues it's improvement I will be happy. Was nice to see them making plays yesterday.

I would say Baltimore is the best overall out of them, but they did barely beat the Bills. Seattle has been up and down with play, but I think we have a chance.

Saints vs Panthers are usually games where the record that year doesn't matter, both teams get up for it. Saints I think we can beat, because even though they could be much better than their record, we play them very tough.

We could win those 6 games, but we'll need a lot of tough and inspiring play... and either Moore to Gettis miracles, or a run game at last. I think we're more likely to go 4-2 in that stretch, dropping one to someone we shouldn't.

I think we could win 3-5 of the next 6. 5 would be a miracle run though......pretty epic and imo top 04. We would be at .500.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
