29 of the 32 teams have at least one loss.

We killed ourselves with penalties on both sides of the ball, had two crucial turnovers, other team had 10 days to prepare and brood over losing to arch rival and a team that I think is a pretty good team even if not as good as a few years ago. Those are mistakes we have largely avoided for a while now.

We had no real healthy RBs and our #2 WR was out.

Poo happens, sometimes you crap the bed and have a terrible, no good game.

We are still 2-1 which is better than 1-3 which is where we stood last year.

The things that really killed us are the things we have been so good at for about 24 games now. Taking care of the ball, avoiding penalties, and playing great defense.

So have trouble sleeping tonight, be grumpy tomorrow, then get the fug over it. Because Papa Smurf is coming next weekend, and he is going to be fired up

If we make it to week 12 alive, we'll be a tough football team ready for the playoffs.

I think these next 7 or 8 games will test us. I'd rather find out if we are contenders or pretenders now rather than in the playoffs.

Hell, next week might tell us what we need to know. Should be a good match up.

This has been my comfort for the night.  Before this season started, all I wanted was to not start 0-2, 1-3, etc again.  Did not like the performance all around at all tonight and really thought the Panthers would be 3-0 but will take 2-1 cause this is the first season in a looooong time the Panthers have not dug themselves a hole after the first couple of games.  

 

Next week will tell us a lot, and would like to see them rebound nicely with a win.

None of that helps our OL blocking.

Neither does getting behind by double digits letting other team pin their ears back.

Our bad oline blocking also doesn't change the fact we are still 2- 1 and in fine shape.

We got a tough schedule. This season will be a grind. But if you don't think we have a chance to make the playoffs you havent been paying attention

I watched the game. This team really needs a solid RB so they can mix it up. Both Cam and Anderson was plagued with the lack of no Rb. And because the team lack a solid RB,the plays look very one dimensional.Cam catches the ball, sits in the pocket and looks for an open receiver.

Just like Cam, Anderson first drive was impressive, but was forced to throw to get the extra two instead of giving it off and running it into.

You hit it dead on my dude. We are still in good shape. It is early. We will learn from this game and move forward.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
