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.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
