Don't panic. This happens every year.

I still think this is a good football team. Honestly, my optimism hasn't dropped much. If we stole a win last week, then we let one slip away this week, so flip the outcomes and the record is the same. Have to be careful not to make snap judgements week to week about this, or any team.

The defense is much more of a work in progress than I expected. I don't know if it's all the coaching attrition, the roster turnover, or maybe veteran players losing a step, but something is just off there. I still see that suffocating Panther's defense for a drive or two a game, but overall we're giving up too many yards on the ground and haven't been good in the red zone. What I do know is that Ron has always gotten this defense playing better as the season goes along.

Assuming that happens, then this offense definitely has the juice to finally take this team on a deep playoff run. Talent wise, especially if Olen can finish out the season the way he looked today, we are fuging loaded. The problem is the offense only had three drives in the second half because the fuging defense couldn't get off the field. Ron will fix it though, he always has, with a much lower talent level in the secondary than we have now.

    • Preseason was largely dogshit. Obligatory it's just preseason. But our guys still mostly looked meh to bad. I'm reminding myself what we looked like in the back half of last year as a reminder that maybe we aren't actually as bad as preseason made us look.
    • For me, I'm pretty excited.  I always am.  I want to see a more competitive team that last year's squad.  I want to see Bryce continue to play well.  I want to see our running game put the hurt on teams.  I want to see better play from the defense. Now, am I expecting a Superb Owl in the future?  No for 2025.  We still have a LOT of weak areas, and we just don't know if last half of season Bryce is the real Bryce?  Or was that just a flat in the pan?   If the team sucks and is unwatchable, that's fine.   It sucks, but I'm not going to cry about it.  If we're better, then I'm all aboard the excited to see fun football again.
    • I voted 2. I'd say overall similar to last year. I'm way more excited about football in general about to start back up than I am for Panthers football specifically.
