15-1

While I was drinking my morning coffee out of my Panthers Super Bowl mug, I wave of positivity just ran through my veins. I've been seeing the first page full of negative threads lately, which I understand, it was one of the toughest losses for me as well, but we need to realize there is still 15 more games to play and it's time to move on

To name a few positives- We moved the ball dang well on the best defense we will ever see this year.

                - KB is back and he looked great,  - Our first round pick played well, -We're healthy, no major injuries have happened,

                  We will dominate the nfc south, Cam will most likely get more respect after that officiating mess

                 - It's week 1, so if there is a time to lose a tough one, its better now than later

                  Oh yeah, and we still have Luke and Cam

So who else wants to hop on the positive train? Departure is next Sunday at 1pm

We looked pretty damn good for the first game of the season. That was playoff atmosphere, and playoff intensity. Gano missed it, it happens. Team needs to rally around him because there will be other times we need him to win games (although I know there were issues with the snap).

Doubtful we go 15-1 but it's obvious last year wasn't a fluke. This is a damn good football team.

If Gano had made that FG to win the game, we'd all be talking about overcoming all the adversity: tough defense, road game, crowd noise, altitude, super bowl loss wounds opened, Cam taking shot after shot, etc. And one FG could have put us at 1-0 thinking we can go 16-0. I for one believe we still have an awesome season ahead of us.

I don't want to be that person but that Panthers defense allowed a QB in its first start to beat them

That is inexcusable by any measure.

one thing is certain, Gettleman has invested a lot of money and draft picks on that dline and they best get their happy asses bought into the concept of gap control or it's going to be a very very  season with their schedule.

"It happens"?? PFTTTT. They need to fire his ass. Having a kicker that can, you know, make field goals, is very important and decides games. As we just saw. I hope they get someone new soon. 

Well, until we have android kickers it's gonna happen. Even the Mighty Kasay missed one from time to time.

There was no film on Siemian. That makes preparation much harder, and it makes crafting a good defensive gameplan harder too. He will find it tougher to succeed from now on.

And get who exactly?

take your 10 year old emotion out of it because you need to know the kicker you replace him with can do better. We had olindo mare signed to an over ten million dollar contract. Unless you weren't a fan then, trust me it can get much much worse. Gano is solid. He's made big kicks for us. Not many automatic field goal kickers around and the ones that are don't leave the teams they play for.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
