Parity lesson: never take any team lightly

[Jmac]

The NFL wanted to create parity and they have their wish. The balance of power shifts constantly and the difference between a stellar team and average team is but a few players, injuries,coaching ability, and just plain lucky breaks. I have been guilty of forgetting this one reality.The Panthers are the same as most of the teams right now. A good defense or offense trying to carry the part that is subpar. Every team has holes that they have to address. There are one or two teams every year that are a few notches above the others, it appears we may not be that team this year.It is only one game,but the problems on this team are now apparent. They cannot be fixed this year and so they will go on and do the best they can. I still support them 100% through good and bad.Never take ANY team lightly in the NFL...hopefully a lesson learned by all.

when dudes here said are we overlooking Pitt, I said not the Panthers just the huddle.... we have not play a solid winning team thus far. that's the facts and we have much to improve on. however I'm a firm believer that a good beating at the right time of the season breaks a great team in for the haul not beating weak teams. we should be embarrassed as Pitt comes in and sons us at home regular season quite a bit. one other thing, the killed our corners the same way Sherman got killed by the Chargers. that soft coverage at the the line was a given 8 yards if they caught the fast pass. it worked!

Pitt sucks and last night was a horseshit performance.

I like this thread. I'm going to buy her flowers and take her to meet my parents for making me feel good about my team.

I have zero affect on the outcome of the game..............no matter what I say

 

and I really don't believe the Panther players took the Stillers lightly

It's sad when even the Pittsburgh fans were expecting to get blown out.

I couldn't believe we had no pass rush. I knew from the beginning our offense would struggle, but all phases was quite unusual.

It was a weird game, and there's no single explanation for the result. Stars aligned against us and, hopefully, humbled us a little. Time to get back to work.

Gotta come down to earth sometime. But my god the line is atrocious. Looked like Florida state out there

yea it sucked to be embarrassed by a mediocre Steelers team. but lets be honest, they played Panthers-style football better than the Panthers did. i am sure it humbled the team, especially the defense. i really think this loss sits squarely on the defense. how many times did they have a chance to flip the field and create some momentum for the team, and then fail due to penalty or misjudgment? i am still hopeful for this team after the loss because this is not the modus operandii for our defense. the defense will recover, and along with them, so will our offense. i really do think that this team is defined by defense, not by Cam Newton. as our defense goes, so goes our offense.... unfortunately.
