Someone pointed this out to me at a bar today, where other Panthers fan actually existed, which was surprising. 

 

He asked when the last time we won an opener was?

 

It's been six fuging years since we've won an opener.

 

Last time? 2008, in San Diego, in one of this team's greatest games of all time. Jake hit Rosario in the back of the end zone as time expired. 

 

The subsequent years saw the punishing loss to the Eagles, then the Jimmy Debacle with the Giants, then the Cardinals game we should have won, then Tampa, and last year the Seachickens,

 

That's five in a row. Most outsiders would have thought with a backup QB and having the worst WR in the history of football, we should have lost today. Hopefully those people lost their money, and Peter King hopefully too.

 

We actually one back to back opening games, both on the road in 07-08, the other was against the Rams. The Panthers are 7-13 all time on opening weekend. Since 2004, we are 3-8 after today. 

 

So maybe this will start a change of mantra. Since Chico finally won an opener, maybe he can get a win after a bye week, and then muster again back to back winning seasons.

 

BTW I wasn't impressed with any other team in the division today. Everyone said Byrd would be the difference in New Orleans, and they gave up just as many points as before. The Falcons are terrible.

Too early to tell if it will mean anything over the course of a 16-game season but considering what the expectations were for that game you have to acknowledge what Atlanta did was no small feat. They still have their flaws which were never going to be fixed over a single offseason but if they stay healthy they will not be an easy out and that goes for the entire division.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
