Why I'm not concerned at 1-2

[Doc Holiday]

We just played 2 of the toughest defenses and teams we will play all year during our last 3 games. Denver won the SB last year on defense alone, and the Vikings won the NFCN last year on Defense alone.  Our next tough team from a defensive stand point is Seattle in Seattle and they have looked worse then us so far.  I will start to get concerned if we are still lose between now and the bye.  

 

Its it's time for us to remind the NFCS who it's daddy is!!!

So we go to the playoffs just to lose to the same team?

k

The point is to overcome these types of teams...we cannot...so ultimately a waste.

[SportsCrazie4172]

the only thing that is keeping me sane in this is that 2013 season where we started off 1-3....

We know how to turn around a season better than anyone..

I'm not worried about 2 losses.  The problem is calls that take 8 seconds to develop.  Cam held the ball for 7 seconds on one of the plays he was sacked.

Seattle defense has looked better than the Vikings

Im not concerned about the season but don't overlook vic Beasly next week. He's just as quick/strong as Von is imo. Could give us trouble

Who cares if denver or minny has a great D because guess what?? we do too.. it's just shitty ass coaching and dumb mistakes that has to show up at the worst times again.

[TruthVsComfort]

I generally agree with OP, but we have to do a better job of preparing for and executing against the top defenses.

The last time we played atlanta they had their way with us too.  Maybe the problem is remmers and oher.

Never heard of game tape and adjustments? It happens. The other team plays football too, tho a lot of fans forget that.

we don't want to go to Minnesota in the winter tho.

also relying heavy on the defense can cause problems. Later in the year they may be really worn out. Because even bough they won today you can't say they had a good game on offense.

Everyone should be VERY concerned after what the coaching staff displayed today.  We caught the league by storm last year.  Well, guess what?  Other coaches are REALLY REALLY GOOD and can game plan! Our one-year smack in the face isn't enough for sustained success in the NFL no matter the caliber of talent.

[The Lone Panther]

Here's my two cents on our current situation.  As long as everyone in the NFC South continues to lose, we're okay.  Tampa needs to lose and the Skanks need to win and we're still tied for first place.  I do believe once the weather becomes cooler, we'll play better.  The heat has been brutal for them.

 

However, weak areas are starting to pile up.  ST, DE, RT/LT, OC, OL-coach.  If we continue to lose and start to feel that any chance for a playoff spot is becoming out of reach, then it may be time to think about tanking in order to get a good draft spot.  The draft is looking real good next year, but most importantly, it would be time to spend some money and upgrade a few areas.  Because not only do we have several weak areas due to poor talent, but we have a few areas with guys very close to retirement, Davis, Ste, Kalil, Olsen.  But like I said, it's still very early, plenty of time to turn things around, but if things don't change quickly, then it's time to start cleaning up and rebuild.

3 division games with the Saints and Falcons on the road.

1-2 does not look good. Needed to win against the Broncos or Vikings. Now the Panthers are in a situation where they have to win 3 straight division games to be 4-2.
