I'm bummed out but I'm not depressed. 

We can name a laundry list of things we didn't do right. Sometimes you have to take a step back, look at the big picture and focus on the positives. (Understanding we have to work on our weaknesses)

1-First and foremost. All mistakes are correctable. As Coach said we really did "shoot ourself in the foot"... yea in this game we pulled a "Burress" or a "Talib" 

2- We were without a pillar of our offense. If some don't realize, J-Stew is as important to our offense as one leg on a table. CAP did a decent job, Fozzy and Tolozier were there. All three RB's combined can't reproduce the kind of production and just as important... threat that  28 brings. 

3- Our defense played well. The scoreboard might not reflect it but we made good stops. I was really encouraged by the play of Bradberry. The more experience he gets, the more solid he becomes. 

4- Offensively we are talent rich and dangerous. Sure we made a lot of mistakes, we were not in sync from bottom to top, but the talent is there. 

5- We will rebound and become more focused. Let's keep it real, everything that went on during the week effected EVERYONE. This board was effected, the guy that sweeps the floor was effected and you dam well better belive every person in this organization didn't have full focus on this game. There are more important issues than football.  (sometimes) This time was one of them. 

Take a deep breath. Again, it's a long season of ups and downs. Steady trending upwards wins the day normally. 

It's difficult... not looking for excuses but I challenge you to talk about something positive you saw.

the early season is unpredictable

the steelers who looked invincible are getting absolutely handled in philadelphia right now

the rams are in the middle of hanging 31 (make that 38) on the bucs right now after looking like they didn't have a pulse on offense in weeks 1 and 2

you don't truly know what you're looking at until midseason basically

I had to work and couldn't watch so sorry if this is a stupid question. But is there a reason why no one is talking about how bad we are at protecting the football? We out gained our opponents every game but stupid penalties and a terrible turnover differential screwed us.

Our defense is much better than advertised and has not been the issue, Defense has only been responsible for giving up a combined 20 points over the last two games. Offense and Special teams gave up 17 points against the 49'ers and 12 points today.  Defense only giving up 10 points per game over the last two games is really impressive even if our pressure getting to the QB hasnt been the greatest. it's also far from the cause of the issue.

Other good news is we played two of the 3 toughest teams we will play all year over the first 3 games, and we wont have our next major team to face till seattle on december 4th, the NFC south for the next 3 games, and arizona flying to us cross country after the Bye is just what the doctor ordered to right the ship.

we have the best offense and defense of any of the NFCS teams, and that's not open for debate.

You lost the challenge. 

I will say that one interception could be described as a "Hail Mary " at the end of the half. The other was just a garbage time pick, no effect on the game at that point.

That's what I'm talking about.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.

      His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
