1342 Champion Dispute
After not making the playoffs for many years, the 2011 season finally ushered in painful changes, hiring young young players to take office, picking potential young rookie quarterbacks, breaking up the team's fixed lineup and rebuilding all the tactical manuals, and finally ushering in a full-scale explosion of strength.
This script is really familiar to me - this is the script of the 49ers in San Francisco, and it is also the script of the Carolina Panthers.
The difference in the script is that the San Francisco 49ers immediately ushered in an explosion in the 2011 season, reaching the National League finals as dark horses; The Carolina Panthers, on the other hand, are always adjusting and accumulating, and still seem to be looking for their own rhythm, failing to make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
In the 2011 season, he won six and lost ten, and he was third in the division.
In the 2012 season, he won seven and lost nine, and he was second in the division.
Although the results have improved compared to the 2010 season, it is still not gratifying, even compared to the 2009 season, which also missed the playoffs, there are still fewer wins, and the team's recovery road is still full of difficulties, but the management still has enough patience for head coach Ron Rivera.
This year, patience has finally paid off.
The preseason record of three wins and one loss made people expect more from the Carolina Panthers, waiting and waiting, and the moment of rise was also used; But the season opener was once again on the rise, losing to the Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills to start the season on a two-game losing streak.
Facing the Seattle Seahawks led by Russell Wilson, the two teams won the game defensively, and the bombardment team in the away cabinet game still had a slight advantage, and the score of "12-7" was completely gone, and the Carolina Panthers lost a dull battle.
In the face of Buffalo Bills, which is also stronger in defense than in offense, the two teams unexpectedly started a battle against each other, and in the end, the Carolina Panthers lost the second game with a narrow score of "23:24".
Just when everyone thought that the Carolina Panthers would miss the playoffs for three consecutive years, they ushered in a strong rebound, and in the third week, they beat the New York Giants with a beautiful home performance, and the beautiful data of "38:0" ushered in an exclamation; After the offseason, the fifth week was defeated by the Arizona Cardinals with a score of "6-22", and the all-round dumb fire of the offensive team in this game once again raised countless questions.
But after that, the Carolina Panthers officially ushered in a wave of four consecutive wins!
In the ninth week of the regular season, when the San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason, the Carolina Panthers defeated the Atlanta Falcons, the archrival in the same district, and quietly improved their season record to five wins and three losses; The New Orleans Saints, on the other hand, suffered a shock defeat to the New York Jets on the road, bringing their record to six wins and two losses, and the gap between the top and second places in the division was reduced to one game.
What's more, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints have not yet started their regional battles, which also means that the two teams are likely to go head-to-head to decide the divisional position, and the hope of a playoff game is ignited immediately, which is not a theoretical possibility, but a real opportunity, and Charlotte's fan enthusiasm is instantly spreading.
The confidence of Carolina Panthers fans is not unfounded.
In the last four games, Ron Rivera has struggled to adjust the defensive team for two seasons, conceding 12 points and holding opponents to death; The offensive group, which has always been criticized for being unstable, showed a rare high-level attitude and continued steadily, scoring 325 points.
This also means that the goal difference in four games has exceeded 20 points. A complete win over J and 9 is a complete victory (the Rollena Panthers have really shown great form and strong dominance!)
As of week 10 of the regular season, the Carolina Panthers are in 16th place in the offensive group and second in the defensive group, just behind the Seattle Seahawks, who have exploded in full force this season.
This is the strength of the Carolina Panthers right now!
Now, the Carolina Panthers and the San Francisco 49ers have a five-win and three-loss season record, and their recent records are four consecutive wins, which can be described as equal; In fact, above the league's official power rankings, the Carolina Panthers are also above the San Francisco 49ers, ranking eighth and ninth, respectively.
There is no doubt that in terms of quality and form, this will be a top-notch match against Maimang, and it will be a tough test for both teams.
In their last four consecutive wins, both teams have beaten very limited opponents.
The four teams defeated by the San Francisco 49ers were the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars, all of which had a record of 2-6, 4-4, 4-4, 0-8, and all of them combined for just 10 wins.
The four teams that the Carolina Panthers have beaten are the Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Pirates and Atlanta Falcons, and the four teams have a record of 1-7, 3-6, 0-8, 2-6, and all of them add up to a measly six wins.
If the San Francisco 49ers at least defeated the Arizona Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans, two teams with four wins, these are direct competitors for playoff wildcard spots, and the gold content is really not small; Then the Carolina Panthers' four-game winning streak is very watery, except for the St. Louis Rams, the other three teams are all teams that have completely collapsed this season, and they are basically bullying characters in the whole league, and the victory does not seem to be too convincing.
In other words, the Carolina Panthers' stats are all brushed out on the four weak teams.
Of the nine games of the season so far, the only opponents that really worth mentioning are the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, and in both games, the Carolina Panthers have suffered defeats; Moreover, the offensive team was a nightmare – scoring just six points against the Seahawks and seven against the Cardinals.
Although the score of the past four games is as high as 325, and the score of all four games exceeds 30 points, the performance of the offensive group has all recovered; But they have not been subjected to a real test, is such a state of devastation the real level, or is it an illusion?
Now, the San Francisco 49ers are the litmus test for the Carolina Panthers.
So, the eyes fell on the two quarterbacks again.
Cam Newton, as a running quarterback, has always been his fatal weakness in passing accuracy and tactical layout, and he has always habitually run with the ball in key moments, using his legs and body to knock out a piece of the world, and it is difficult for him to effectively open up the situation outside of reading Young's offense.
The San Francisco 49ers defense is relatively weak in the second line and relatively tough on the front line, and ground defense and rushing and pressing are still their strengths, which just forms a-for-tat situation with Cam's ability.
Although in the 2011 season, facing the Philadelphia Hawks led by Michael Vic, the San Francisco 49ers lost the game; But last season, the San Francisco 49ers faced Russell Wilson three times before and after, and the defensive team managed to clamp down on the running quarterback's advantage. Now in the face of Cam, the frontline standoff remains in the spotlight. Cam's ECG-like form curve this season is time to show his absolute strength.
So, will Cam be able to prove himself?
Similarly, after Lu Ke returned from injury, his passing touch has never been able to reach the peak level, he relied on his tactical layout and defensive reading ability, opened the situation with a pass-and-run balance, and won a bloody streak, but it was not until the London Bowl that his long pass reappeared on the field for the first time, and it is still unknown how much the passing skill will recover.
Correspondingly, the Carolina Panthers defense is a team that is stronger in ground defense than pass defense, currently ranking second in the league in ground defense and sixth in the league in pass defense - just inverted from the strength of the Seattle Seahawks defense, they are very good at cutting off the opponent's solid advance with tough ground defense, forcing the opponent to put all the pressure on the pass offense, which also means that Lu Ke must show real kung fu.
So, can Lu Yu come back strongly?
Strictly speaking, this is a speculation dispute:
Cam was the top goose in 2011; And Lu Lu was the champion of the actual performance among the rookies in the same class in 2011, and he was a double VP in the regular season and the Super Bowl.
So now that the two are going head-to-head, who will have the last laugh?
Is it Cam defending his title? Or will Lu Ru continue his rebel line and continue to successfully overturn the top pick and become the king of rookies in 2011 after defeating Jack Locke, Brian Gabott, Christian Pound, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick and other high-draft rookie quarterbacks?
Just making up for it, it's exciting, and there is a sense of déjà vu to upgrade and fight monsters, and now Lu Yu is about to face the highest level of rookie quarterback: the champion show Cam Newton! I wonder if Lu Cheng has successfully cleared customs?
It's better to come early than to come at a good time.
Compared to the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the 2013 season between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers was much more exciting and interesting, with the two teams getting closer and more in shape, and the two quarterbacks being more mature, so the meeting was naturally full of possibilities.
Waiting and waiting, this battle is finally about to start!
Interestingly, the Carolina Panthers have been underperforming against the National League West this season, with a current overall record of two wins and one loss, just beating the St. Louis Rams, who are bottom of the division, as everyone knows, a team that is an insider, an outsider; Now, they are about to face the last team in the Western Conference of the Nations League, the San Francisco 49ers, and the performance of the game is even more intriguing.
