Though it sucks that all ready in Week 3 we have a "must win", our schedule softens up a bit in the middle:

Redskins

@ Bucs

Bills

Then...

@ Cardinals

@ Saints

Falcons

Dolphins

@ Jets

Bucs

are all "winnable"

I'm not in panic mode...I can see us turning it around here and picking up a couple of wins. if we can get to 3-3 then anything's possible... In any sport, it's dumb to go nuts if your team has a great start OR terrible start. Like my Blue Jays looked like playoff contenders 1/4 the way through the season, lead the AL East all most of all April and May. Then they crumbled in June and never looked back. Just like my Jays the Saints will come down to Earth...I heard some talking head on TV say "Are the Saints the NFC's best?"...which is ridiculous...if anyone Atlanta should be mentioned, but the New Orleans Saints Post-Katrina love fest will never end...

All I'm saying is even at 0-2 we are very capable of having a winning season....

Now if Jakey Big Mistakey laid out flat for the 3rd straight game, then I would be will all those lunatics saying the seasons "over"...

Our schedule is front-loaded. No one will remember an 0-3 start if we go into December at 8-4 or 7-5. We have the talent, the schedule will more than make that possible, and the Panthers under Fox traditionally get strong in late November/early December. Honestly, I'm looking forward to playing NE in Foxboro, they look pretty vulnerable this year. The only game that looks hard in December is the Giants, and we did ok there last year.

The reason only 13whatever% of the teams that go 0-2 make the playoffs is because most of the time 0-2 is what you expect from a bad team. The Panthers are not a bad team.

:iagree: actually. We got a good enough team to turn this around and make it to the playoffs. What other teams did don't really matter because anything can happen after Week 2 in the NFL. Right now though, I can be mad at the team if I want though.

I dont know where people see any kind of "easy" stretch in our schedule at any time this season?? Sadly, while I am still trying to be optimistic, my gut is telling me there is no playoffs in this teams future and probably a less than .500 season. The defenes is just not good enough. It has been getting shredded consistenly since the middle of last season right through the Atlanta game. Even watching them try to blitz which was misarably unsuccessful takes away that being a possble solution to getting more QB pressure. I just dont see how this defense turns it around :confused: Maybe its possible and that why I still remain hopefull because I am a Panther fan. It is going to take our offense scoring at least 30pts a game for the Panthers to even sniff he playoffs.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
