Baltimore. 

Yep.

Sure, winning the Superbowl with an amazing defense is an anomaly. But being the first team since 1981 to allow only 3 points in its first two games is also an anomaly. 

 

The offense isn't good, no shock there.  But it just needs to be average with this defense.

As I appreciate the sarcasm, this is also part of it. People who don't understand X's and O's football but think they do because they only have to run 5 plays on Madden to go undefeated on the pro difficulty who are quick to point out simple things like "we need more drag routes because nobody can cover *insert receiver* on them". These people annoy me.

Those drag routes sure do work in Madden though.

I'm almost certain the attitude is directly tied to drafting CMC and the 9,000 articles that stated that our offense was going to evolve. Fans thought evolve meant throw a lot of short passes, and have an exciting looking offense. So like a kid on Christmas expecting a bike and getting a sweater fans lost their poop when they saw we didn't evolve. The offense is hard to watch. You can end up in a nail biter against a lesser opponent. Fans hate that. They want TD and fun, not up the middle for a yard and a cloud of dust. So fans are pissed.

It is because we see Newton and Kuechly and several other great players and we want a consistent, winning team during their prime and we don't have it

we look at the coaching staff, particularly offensively, and knowing that when the schedule is weak, they win the regular season, and when it is strong they don't  

we hear about changes that never happen

we see play calls that are mind boggling, a star QB that needs a lot more coaching  (technically and other ways ) then he gets,   and not having back to back winning seasons is not acceptable . 

Lets say it is the constant disappoint that the fans have grown tired of as the Panthers always seem to be on the wrong side of any key moment

it all simmers over, all that disappointment .  

There is not a poster on here who does not love  this team. PSL holders in particular put our money year after year into this product where our heart is. PSLs are more than the ticket price. It is gas, food hotels and dealing with horrendous traffic.  It is time.  A person does not do that without passion

And our offense does have a recent (3 of the last 4 seasons) history of improving as the season progresses.

The seasons (and offseasons for that matter) keep passing by and stealing just a tad bit more time and life out of us, like an expert pickpocket on a crowded subway, as do the promises of change and improvement, but the Panthers seem to give real life to the saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
