The formula to win out

[panthers55]

We have using the formula for the past several weeks.  You don't look ahead, you play every game as if it is your last and the gameplan depends on what you want to take away from their offense and what the other defense is giving you. Sure they are cliches but the reason those sayings are still around is because there is some truth to those words.

The real question is not how we play, because we now have a formula, but how teams counter our play. So far they have concentrated on stopping the run and making Cam throw. He has performed brillantly, with few TO's and the best 3rd down conversion % in the league. When they start to play us more straight up our running game may have to carry the day and that may be a problem.

guys we must start game planning for the super bowl NOW....we will be light years ahead of teams if we begin now!! Cam has to be more focused for us to do this and Ron needs to stop making excuses about the biggest game is the next...clearly the super bowl is the biggest game and he needs to start preparing now!

cover the TE's and protect against the seam routes............make them go outside the numbers.

Do what we have been doing? Sure we all think some parts could use improving but the game plan is working. We're winning, if it ain't broke don't fix it...

The last 2 years we lead the league in 20yd+ plays. This year we're near the bottom. Sure we want Smitty & Ginn to go deep but it's workin this way. Keep calm & carry on...

This year we have much fewer 20+ drives but we are still near the top in 80 yard drives for TDs.  We may be less explosive but are more consistent. Like you said, it is working against teams considered the best in the league. If we simply win 3 out of the next 5 we are in the playoffs and once there who knows what happens.  The whole point of the regular season is to make the playoffs.
