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.

    • Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.   
    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
