People like to waste their lives away complaining and whining about things that don't matter. If they want to live their lives in a negative way, then let them. I'm enjoying the win because at the end of the day that's all that matters

I guess another way to look at it...I shouldn't waste my life away whining about the whiners...

Good post though. This place is so full of negative people, but Jeremy Igo gives us the best Panthers content and coverage.

Guess we have to tolerate the bad in order to enjoy the good.

Maybe because we know we're going to have to be a lot better going forward. 

They sure didn't look great in all areas, and that level of production won't get it against most teams, but some of us like to celebrate even an ugly win before we get back to bitching about the areas of concern.

Hell hath surely frozen over. I agree with AceBoogie...

I'm as happy as can be that we won yesterday, but it was against the Jaguars. And we looked bad. Efforts like that might win us the next four games (emphasis on might) but come week 6, we won't stand a chance playing the same way we did yesterday

We certainly can play better football, but we won 20-9 to an improved Jags team, and that is with a touchdown to Olsen being taken off the board, and a WIDE OPEN would be touchdown dropped by Ginn.

I can understand wanting better football from our team, but the mood on this board when the game easily could have been a blow out is a little absurd.

I think it is mostly because it was Jacksonville.

Everyone thinks that Jacksonville is like playing some highschool team or something.

The truth is that they are pretty decent team and they have been getting better. Bortles is actually a pretty good QB, the reason he sucked yesterday is because he was playing the Carolina Panthers... Who came to their house and beat them with a nasty defensive performance. 5 sacks, forced and recovered fumble, multiple interception, pick6, multiple tackles for loss, allowed only 13 points, and with multiple team captains and dependable starters on the sideline.

Next opponent has to come to our house...

 

 

I'd love to see the Jags go on a winning streak now, but with the Dolphins, Pats, and Colts up next for 'em, it looks like an 0-4 start. I hope they're more than a walkover at least.

I'm betting most of the same 'experts' who picked us to lose yesterday will be doing it again this week. We'll likely have to start 4-0 to get respect.

I didn't realize we had no weaknesses to explore or to discuss must celebrate 13 point offensive showing vs the JAGS. 

Ginn dropped a sure TD pass that's worth discussing regardless of if we won or not and doesn't mean we aren't happy with a win.

Having Shula on or associated with the team in any way, shape, or form warrants discussion.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
