First Month of the Regular Season Crucial for the Panthers

Seriously, take a look at the opponents we face in only the first month of the season:

Tampa Bay

New Orleans

Giants Prime Time

Atlanta

In the first four weeks the Panthers have half of their Divisional games for the season and one of their two (And, personally, the more important) prime time games. How the Panthers come out in the win-loss department will weigh very heavily not only on people's perception of them, but on their Playoff chances as well. If they can even break even in the first four weeks, I will call it a success. However if they can come out 3-1 or (God forbid) 4-0, I believe the Panthers will already be playoff bound. If they are 1-3 or winless after the first four weeks, I would say we would likely be in for another rough season. However I don't see them going any worse than 2-2 in the first four weeks, if not 3-1.

I don't see the first month as any more critical than the rest. But just to entertain you, I do believe that we have a real opportunity to be 4-0, and will likely be no worse than 3-1. I believe that even with Cam, people don't really recognize that we are poised to beat bitches this year. Beat bitches! Tampay Bay, New Orleans and especially the Saints* are bitches.

it's nice to have a coach who doesn't spew "let's just win three out of four" rhetoric. this team is hungry and will fight to win every one of those games - they won't be satisfied with anything less than 4-0. should be fun to watch.

It wasn't that many years ago that winning early wasn't as important as winning in December. Very rarely did teams have many early divisional games.

The schedule makers have really outdone themselves. They got it where the first month is much more important than it use to be.

So yes, it'll be important that the team starts strong. The coaches know this, and will be preparing our team for it. It's going to be important for our defense to start well.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
