As unpopular an opinion but this game isn't all doom and gloom.

Falcons, honestly, earned a lot of respect from me today. Defended their home. Matt Ryan honestly impressed me with that run. Ridley looks good after it finally looks like we got an answer for Julio lmao.

Really hope y'all can't pay Coleman. Dude stops and changes directions on a dime. Please get him out of our division. 

Now about us; we started rough, but we started getting into shape more and more. Falcons got us a few times on offense and Coleman and Ito Smith both looked great, even if the falcons can't pay Coleman (please God) Ito Smith is a tough change of pace back. Rookies made some mistakes but that doesn't define them. It's early. They'll get better.

Offense. Outside of Cam, Wright and Samuel was. Really slow to start. And it seemed in the fourth Quarter everyone was starting to get into gear more. C.J. Anderson's drop was huge and I want to call him many horrible things, he's a guy I trust to learn from this mistake.

Moore flashed. He'll get a bigger role. Funchess needs to get going but got better as the game went on. He needs to be more consistent but I trust him and Cam to get it worked out. Smith can do his job, but we desperately need Samuel, Smith isn't our deep throat.  Not even close 

It was. Encouraging to see this offense struggle, but get better and actually adjust. After so many seasons of watching this team hit a wall and sputter out for the rest of the game. We responded. C.J. Anderson doesn't drop that ball we tie the game. 

All in all, an early season loss on the road against a strong divisional opponent but we played tough. We can get better.

 

And also we can trade for Josh Gordon he's definitely worth if to at least kick the tires on do it Hurndog give me the cummies.

 

Now tell me why Ron and co need to be fired and Devin needs to be shot into the sun.

We may be good, but we play in a division with teams built to beat us. It's tough to make a living in the NFL with losing records to divisional opponents and our division flat out has us dialed right now. The Saints and Falcons have for awhile now and all of a sudden, the Bucs come out of nowhere with an over the hill washed up QB and look like the most dangerous team currently in the NFL. We're going to have a rough row to hoe.

May not be popular opinion but he's right.  Defense is not going to play like this every week.  

Losing sucks but it's not the end of the world.  Cam was incredible today

Unfortunately, the defense has pretty much been playing just like this every time we face the Falcons or Saints now for awhile. They have Rivera and his defensive philosophy figured out and they carve us up every time we face off.

We are not good. The Falcons are trash and we got beat by trash. 

Come on... I hate the Falcons, but they were picked by a lot of people to win the SB this year.  There is a lot of talent on that team, we played like a$$ for half the game, and still had a chance at the end.

Predictable.

Lol I swear I see these types of threads every year, only for this team to disappoint.

The Falcons were without 2 pro bowlers on defense, Devonta Freeman, and their safety was ejected early. If we can't beat the Falcons when they're depleted, what makes people think we can beat them when fully healthy? It will be the same result when we play the Saints too. Teams have figured Ron out (ESPECIALLY the Saints and Falcons).

Honestly I think a lot of today was kind of like...a Kamara like effect with Coleman and us underestimating how good he was, and a lack of urgency by our skill positions on offense. Coleman's cuts and strength we're top level.

Cam has looked awesome and if CMC was the one the ball got thrown too instead of CJ that wouldn't have been a pick. Then we would be saying Cam has looked flawless and no turnovers in two games. Defense play like pure poo today and it's all on them or coordinator since we decided not to blitz and just let Ryan carve us up.

It's not the end of the world. We lost to a divisional rival on the road but they missed out on a big opportunity to gain a lead on the division. I'm concerned about this defense being able to compete in this division with potent passing attacks. We have lost to the Falcons the same way on the road since 2015. They keep exposing our weak perimeter players  particularly Safery and Nickel Corner.  

Team needs to win their next 2 games which are at home, since this division will be a tight race again

Its a rival, and the Falcons got weapons.  A road loss to a division rival, if we must lose at all this season, I'll take this kind of loss early.  I liked the way the offense fought to stay in the game and almost tied it.  That let me know if our defense struggle, we do have the tools to win back and forth games.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
