The Panther Advantage

We all know this is the slowest time of the year for NFL. Hockey just crown their Champion and barring a miracle the NBA will crown theirs sometime this week. The college world series is in full swing. NFL news stories are slim and none. So I read what I can from NFL.com and other sites I wonder into.

One thing got me thinking was what our advantage was going into 09. Reading Clevelands woos about their OL and DL. Hearing how this O-linemen is gonna fit here and this one is gonna fit there. It made me believe our advantage is our chemisty is already set. Our summer school is shaking off the rust, lubricating our machine and fine tuning it.

This is going to provide a huge dividend in the 1/2 of the season. While other teams are getting their chemisty just right. We are already cruising along. Barring injury our OLine is going to be well ahead of other teams. I would think this would equate to one or two extra wins before mid season.

Agreed?

chemistry is important but it wont make a difference. Not with this brutal schedule that we have. The only way we can get a couple of extra wins is if had a few cup cakes on our schedule this year. Unfortunately that wont be the case. We dont have any of them like we did last year.

You just won't get off the schedule thing will you? The strength of schedule is something ESPN and others hype to make people like you poo on losses and say I told you so, Or poo on a 12-4 season because it was an Easy schedule. The teams in the NFL are way to close in talent for anybody to have an easy or hard schedule. Even the Lions are a competitive team. So you can shove that SoS crap up your ass.

Seems to me that chemistry will be more important this year. There won't be any gimme games and every one may boil down to a few plays that go one way or the other.

I believe that this year the players may recognize that they underacheived last year. Hopefullly the slogans of unfinished business unfurl and knowing he is possibly gone after this year may give Peppers even more reason to go all out this year. Coaches particularly on the defensive side will be scrutinized and judged based on how we do this year.

Hopefully everyone recognizes that winning one for Big Cat needs to take on new urgency, and there is no time like the present.

Obviously there are lots of reasons that things won't work out and we won't go far. But it could be the perfect storm with all conditions for unprecedented results. The good news is that every thing will unfold in the next 90 days.

What??? Did you run out of troll pictures to post?:D

Strength of schedule is factor wether you want to accept it or not. It just is. This is the first time in 7 years that I am predicting a losing record for the panthers. This schedule is just too brutal and our schemes are way too predictable and way too conservative to be able to handle it. I hope like hell that I am wrong but I have to go with my gut feeling. Im not going to overlook these issues just because alll these insecure little homers like yourself want me to.

I NEVER put much stock into the schedule.

At least 4 teams will be worse this season, 4 will surprise us, and 4 will be what we thought they were.

Plus we get to the playoffs by winning the division. Everyone in our division has a "hard" schedule, so take care of what we need to do and the rest will take care of itself.

4 teams have a really tough schedule

4 teams have a really easy schedule

and 4 teams are just right.

Better living through chemistry. Eat acid.

yes, agree - chemistry is an advantage. it all goes back to all but one starter returning. that means chemistry. that means familiarity. that means experience. that means more time spent developing young talent and less time spent worrying about positions battles and who's going to fill this spot or that spot. it means consistency. and it doesn't take a genius to realize that consistency is a good thing when you went 12-4 the previous season.

also tired of hearing the strength of schedule crap. pittsburgh had the toughest schedule going into last season. i seem to remember them winning a few games last year. there's this one that was pretty impressive but i can't quite remember which game it was...oh yeah, the super bowl.

The steelers have the number one defense in the league, a top 10 QB, and a very good recieving core and running back tandem. Our defense and is no where close to where they are and our QB is an aging has been. We arent equipped to handle a schedule like this they way the steelers were. If the defense can make a huge turn around from the last 2 years then maybe I like our chances. But as long as Fox has control over it and continues to over rule everything Ron Meeks does the way he does with every coordinator then we can expect the same bend but dont break philsophy that we are used to.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By trucpfan · Posted

      Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award. This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

      Cleaning up Fitterer's Mess

      By Seltzer · Posted

      https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1863950938467189041 Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way. For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons: 2021: $53.9M 2022: $52.4M 2023: $62.1M 2024: $69.3M 2025: $1.9M All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games... Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise. The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history. Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money: Von Bell: $9.9M Hayden Hurst: $9.8M Donte Jackson: $9.7M Diontae Johnson: $9.4M Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M Justin Houston: $3.8M DJ Chark: $3.1M Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players. That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era. Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss... One can hope... Keep Pounding!!
