Official Panthers - "another non playoff" team gameday thread!

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Great half gentleman, lets keep the train rolling all second half long. I'd love to see us put up 40+.

Our defense is playing so much better without the dead wait starter DTs. Cut both of them in the offseason.

Now is NOT the time to get conservative, keep moving the ball

[CPF4LIFE]

Man those DTs are DOING WORK TODAY!!!

[beastson]

Dont we get ball first

Watch the kick off

[charlottenian]

so if we win today, does Matt Ryan qualify as a starting QB since we have yet to beat a starting QB?

[Kevin Greene]

More like time to score 23 more points.

I'm on board with this mentality. :cheers2:

Whats an offside kick?

Woah......Wouldnt go that far, still want them to develop into something. More depth works for us.

Yes. A win today is huge and shows our defense is finally coming to play. There's a HUGE difference between between Indy and Tampa and beating the Falcons.

For that matter, holding them to 7 in a half was a tremendous effort. They just need to finish the game strong, limit them as best as possible, and our offense HAS to keep moving the ball.

Fua and mcclain should never see the field again

Fua and mcclain should never see the field again

to be fair, they are rookies and DT is a hard position to transition to in the NFL

[pawsandclaws]

Man now I know what its like to be a Green Bay or NE fan. I EXPECT to score everytime we get the ball.

McClain has had his moments this year and Rivera claimed that Fua had a great game against Indy...

I don't think we can conclude they are trash yet.

We were stupid to start two rookies inside. We really needed a couple vets to help ease them into the game a bit. Having someone experienced next to you can make a huge difference imo.
