Yes, this is our record. This is the bed we have made, now we have to sleep in it. Its sad that a team with this type of history of doing so well has folded so early. Its no secret that folks are upset, and everyone understands why....

HOWEVER..... We are only 0-3. Even though the playoff look out of reach, its not set in stone.

I am not trying to be a blind homer, all I a trying to say is that our chance is not yet over.

Keep you heads up and look forward to our next game, it could be the start of something good.

None of us know!!!!!

Tampa is terrible. Atlanta didn't blow us out, even though we played poorly, and the Saints have an inconsistant offense (based on last season). We hung in there against Dallas, and if not for bogus offensive PI call, we might have won.

Harris will be back after the bye, and Moore may become a factor in our passing game. Not to mention DT Hollis Thomas should help stiffen the run defense, and help free up our LBs. Beason has, by his own admission, not been playing well at all. That's going to change. We all know he's a pro-bowl LB. Thomas Davis is playing the best football of his career, and he's determined to get to the pro-bowl this season. Keep in mind that there is a learning curve for a new defensive scheme. And not all players learn at the same speed. I think the secondary will continue to improve, and iron out some of the recent mental errors.

Offensiely speaking, I hate to blame any one player, but Moose just isn't winning his battles 1-on-1. That's a huge part of why our offense looks so stagnant. We may replace Moose with Moore, now that he has had some time in our system. If we go with Moore, then Jake can try to hit Moore 1-on-1, and see what he can do after the catch. Moore might be the right WR to keep opposing defenses honest, then the running game will open up.

I'm dissappointed in our special teams, but really the problem is mental errors, not talent. I'm expecting a better perfomance from that unit coming out of the bye.

If the Panthers continue to improve in all 3 phases (big if), then the playoffs are not out of the question.

Guys I'm not gonna shitzzz you unicorns and rainbows! This franchise is on the edge of collaspe. I don't know what games you guys were watching, but this team has sucked all year! In all phases of the game(coaching, offense, defense and ST) I don't know, I hope we win out but the schedule + the Panthers = many losses and no playoffs and no 1st round pick and new coaching staff and new front office and baby needs a new pair of shoezzzz!

We could very well end up 2-4 or 3-3 after the next three games. Remember what the Colts did last year? We could be seeing a 10-6 record if our defense comes together and stays healthy.

And if our offense learns to keep the ball in our hands and special teams steps up.

A very viable record to obtain...

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
