48 hours ago the Huddle had Super Bowl visions. Now we should pack the season up and go home?

The only real area we have bad injuries is RB. And ever since the ink dried on Dwill and Stews contracts I have been told RB is nothing more than a plug and play position

Davis being hurt, hurts. But we got Luke who will keep LBs straight.

We will be fine. I am still pumped up for this season.

Day after we win:

Watch ESPN and NFL network

Listen to radio shows.

Google Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers every 15 minutes for new articles saying how awesome we are.

Go to the CH and argue with people who aren't as happy as I am about the win.

Call all my friends who are Falcon fans to tell them the ass whuppin is coming.

 

Day after we lose:

 

Don't turn on the TV

Don't listen to radio

Watch porn Netflix videos..

Go to the CH and just smh.

Listen to the trash talk from my friends...

Reality is we have the toughest 7 game stretch coming up...our running backs are down, our QB is gimpy, our 2nd best LB is hurt, and our probowl DE is sitting on his ass at the house...they will have to come together and get this done...I am behind them 110% no matter what happens.

I would like to see us consider sitting Cam for DA if he really is that beat up.  If the O-Line can't keep him upright to throw anyway, and his bum wheel decreases his mobility, then let DA get hit this week.

 

It would also be smart to be a bit less aggressive with the front 7 so we don't get gashed again.  Maybe we can use some safety blitzes as a 5th man in the right situations.  It could help TD's replacement cover and fit his gaps better.

 

Lastly, I hope our O-Line can step up and make it easy on these young RBs.  We can't abandon the run.  We just need to be creative with some misdirection, sweeps etc.  We have speed and talent, it just needs blocking.

 

If we can play clean and really bring it, I really think we can win with what's available this week.  All is not lost.

No Tolbert, no DWill, no Stewie, no Hardy, possibly no TD, literally the only RB we have is from the practice squad. A hurt QB thats no longer a running threat and a terrible O line. Not to mention we have a extremely tough schedule ahead. Its not the one loss that has me thinking the season is over, its everything I mentioned above.

If you would have told me before the season that we would be 2-1 and that our one loss would have been out of conference, I would have been giddy.

 

The injuries suck, but every team has them.  The defense needs to correct the small mistakes and the offense and special teams need to take care of the football.  Our formula is to control clock, protect the football and win the game 20-13.  

 

While the defense got absolutely gashed on the ground, they really played as they usually do. Give up yards and limit the other team to field goals.  Had it not been for a boneheaded offsides on a fg attempt and a Philly bobble, the Steelers would have traded that 14 pts for 3 pts.

 

Our offense is concerning, but we all knew this coming in.  Cam is banged up and the oline is patchwork at best.  I don't believe this is the last time this year that the panthers will be beat badly (see Cincy in Cincy), however, i also believe we have some a** kickings left to give.

 

 

***Lastly, that is only our 5th regular season loss in our last 22 regular season games***

i think people are more deflated than anything. winning 13 out of the last 14 had us used to deeply enjoying every single gameday and then getting blown the fug out has really brought us back down to earth. i haven't even really wanted to think about football for the last two days.

Exactly this. This was the one we all wanted badly, too. To beat the sh!t out of one of our most hated enemies on national tv in prime time with the whole country watching our "super bowl caliber defense" beat up the rapists. We all wanted to give a big middle finger to their bandwagon fan base. We didn't show up and we got embarrassed. Yeah, this one stung. Nothing another victory can't cure.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
