Perhaps the most beneficial half of the year was today


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

Coaches will now have plenty to talk about, plenty to complain about, plenty to look at.

And the media...the media will be second guessing us all week.

If we would have won 45-0, we would come out next week with unfounded confidence.

 

THIS last half of football will be invaluable.  Mark it.

 

Keep Pounding!!!

Didn't we see the same movie weeks ago against the Giants. What is different today then that game? RR also talked about that in the locker room during half time and the result wasn't much different. That's our achilles heel it seems.

We've said this after EVERY almost blown huge lead. Do the coaches learn from it? No, quite the contrary. I'd rather that we carry momentum into the next game by demolishing the Seahawks instead i am sitting here feeling dissapointed even though we are going to the NFC championship game...

Yeah,  too bad it didn't happen during the regular season.  Like maybe against the Packers,  Saints or Giants. 

You're counting the Saints twice right? And the colts? Texans were one play away from OT too. 

The best thing about this team is the chemistry but as far as talent goes the defensive turnovers are covering up a very flawed squad. Glad McDermott and Rivera were able to dial up the right blitzes too. We got great pressure before Seattle adjusted.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
