But I thought the Panthers looked the best they had all preseason. Offensively and defensively. Except for a couple of poorly timed turnovers and the terrible special teams play. I thought we looked good and I feel alot more confident going into the Eagles game than I did before last night game. Now if we could learn how to tackle a just a little better...

Go Panthers!

Isn't that the sad part? We looked the best we have all preseason, and it still wasn't good enough (even with out first string offense against their second string defense).

Only half kidding there. We played four of last year's playoff teams, whether it's preseason or not. The defense -- especially the front four -- looked much better last night. Hopefully we can shore up the secondary.

Of course, we've got a lot of difference makers that have been injured, so that played a part in it too. Don't think the outcome to any game would be the same without Smith, Williams, Stewart or Beason playing the full game.

I agree. For the first time, I got the sense that the team was finally starting to figure things out. Watching the game, I got the sense that the Panthers looked more like what you would expect in the first preseason game, not the fourth. So it makes me wonder if with all the coaching changes on defense along with the injuries that we are just a couple of weeks behind where we would normally expect to be at this point. If so, that might not bode well for the first couple of weeks in the season, but it does give me hope that the team will turn things around and assert themselves as contenders in short order.

I agree with a couple of caveats:

1) The RB who ran through half our defense (Steelers cut him today)

2) The "best this preseason" didn't take a lot to win

Still some bright spots

Peppers looked great agaisnt the Ravens- especially if you look at his play and not the stat sheet. I was encouraged by what I saw last night and feel pretty good heading into thenseason knowing we get several key pieces back.

All of the problems I saw were correctable, we definately have the talent. Less turn overs and better tackling and last night was probably a decisive win.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix has only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.

      It's a fine balance. You need elements of both.

      RODS gotta GO

      The Canes physically dominated 2 of the top 16 teams in the league this calendar month. If you truly believe Florida is just that much more physical than us, then what does that say about the rest of the league? Why didn't they go 82-0 this year, if they are orders of magnitude better than every other team?
