Seems cliched to say but if Panthers can -
1) hold the ball and respect possession,
2) have better discipline than shown in previous weeks,
3) respect field position and control the ebb and flow of the game with ruck and line speed,
4) execute even half decent 5th play options,
5) start the game better than the last 3 games
Then Panthers should beat the Dogs by 20+ points comfortably. Can’t question the defensive system as it works but also acknowledging that it can have its moments.
Those 5 points are obvious points but if Panthers do that it’ll be a big, comfortable win. If they don’t do that or only do some of those then it’ll be a grind and a game made more difficult than it should be.
