Losers mentality

Thomas Brown should be given playcalling duties. Frank Reich should focus on getting this team ready to play. They look totally undisciplined and unprepared to play big boy football. Fix that offensive line Frank

Is Dan Henning calling plays again?

Yeah not looking any better tonight, thank God it’s not the Jets

I vote for keep it as is

Well this sucks

That defense is legit though, top 5 for sure. That goes a long way

Unfortunately it may be. It also makes me question the glowing report outs from camp.

Post your thoughts and reactions here about how Panthers are portrayed. Hearing Quinnien Williams brag about 10 sacks in joint practice seemed a bit over the top. But then again our offensive line is trash

Just goes to show you, you can never draft enough offensive linemen for security. These guys get fat and happy if they don't feel competition coming.

Is this sarcasm? I think he’s a hell of a coach

Notice who’s holding the pads

Yes they’re my expectations and others clearly agree. Who are you to speak for what’s realistic? winning this weak division IS realistic

Several of the recent posters don't understand the topic here. It's expectations of the season. All I'm saying is I'm not willing to lower my expectations for what this coaching staff and GM needs to achieve this year. This same offensive line won 7 games last year. This same defense has now been upgraded, so expect them to perform better this year. QB, while a rookie, is still supposed to be better and give us a better chance to win than Baker or Darnold, or PJ Walker, etc. etc. etc. That's the topic. Playoff or bust is the expectation.

we're talking about expectations, try to keep up. If you expect this coaching staff to win 7 games like Wilks/Rhule with lesser talent and better coaching staff, then I don't know what to tell you.

Haha some of you may be ok with giving the Bears a top 10 pick next year but I'm not. This fanbase loves mediocrity lol

I feel like OL depth has become such a need across the NFL that you can get away half assing your way through the NFL and not have to work hard to get better.

I'm pretty sure Fitt and Reich both said they're expecting to win this year. You're giving them a pass even when they say they should be competing for the division title?

This is a fair point, I absolutely think Fitterer should be on the hot seat and be fired if this team underachieves and hands the Bears a top 5 or top 10 pick. I still think this coaching staff has enough pieces to have a winning record.

Indeed - but I remember it felt way worse than Seifert's though.

Disagree. 2011 came after 1-15 season. We didn’t earn the #1 pick this year, we traded up from #9 to get Bryce Young after finishing 7-10 and second in NFC South. My expectations are more 2013. Playoff appearance.

I am talking about expectations for the season. Wilks almost made the playoffs and won 7 games with less talent overall. Some are saying not to expect playoffs with more talent, an upgrade at QB and significant investment in coaching and assistants. I refuse to downgrade my expectations and I hope Tepper doesn’t either.
