So for some good news, the teams we lost to so far are a combined 11-1 among them are the only two 4-0 teams in the NFL right now in the Vikings and Broncos.   And the leagues best offense in Atlanta.

bad news is we are 1-3, good news is we were probably 3 combined plays(missed kick-Denver, kick return and KB block in the back-Vikings) from beating the two best teams in the league right now.

We aren't a bad team, but we are also a team that does have some issues. Some answers are easier then others but I yhink it's safe to say schedule wise the worst is behind us now. It's time to right the ship guys!

This is a worthwhile point to be made.

How far you take it though I guess depends on if you are a glass half full or a glass half empty kind of person.

Irregardless of the records of the teams we lost to, our defense has been absolutely gashed 4 weeks in a row, and we haven't played against an elite QB yet.

Add in the OL woes, and a sidelined Jonathan Stewart on top of a concussed Cam Newton, and there is certainly plenty to be concerned about.

Gashed? Hardley, we were a top 5 defense in total yards till last week, and if not for special teams and offense spotting the other team points we would have been top 10 in points as well.  Atlanta is our only bad game on defense, offense and ST's have been the biggest issue till Atlanta.  

Not saying we don't have issues, just keeping it real.

The mindset of hanging our hat on things like statistical rankings in the face of tough losses has netted us exactly zero back to back winning seasons as a franchise.

Gotta change the rationale at some point.

C'mon Doc, no cherry picking.  We have all been far too guilty of that in season's past.  We're not sure yet if Atlanta is an anomaly or the new expectation...

I agree that it's not the worst 1-3 ever, but even an optimist had to see how poorly we played in gigantic stretches this season.  Until that gets fixed, there's no way we can put a positive spin on things.

I don't mind us losing as long as the guys are playing hard.  Right now, I'm not seeing that effort across the board.  It just seems like portions of the team are content to collect pay checks.  Or that magically they will be in the Super Bowl again.  This is fairly alarming as a fan.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
