Tonight sucked, from the opening drive on, but regardless of anything, we are still 6-3, and if the playoff started tomorrow, we would be the 5th seed.

I'm not trying to throw a parade after that debacle, but we need to keep perspective... Winning in Pittsburgh was going to be tough, and while no one say that coming, it still counts the same whether it was a close loss or the massive disaster that was.

The team needs a lot of work on defense... and the offensive line looked overmatched for the 1st time this year.  But at the end of the day, 6-3 is still a good record, and the sky is not falling.

Got to rest up, come back next week, and get ready for Detroit.  I hate losing in prime time, but I'm still proud to be a Panthers fan

“At the end of the day, guys, this poo happens. It does. I’m just going to put it that way...I told the guys, get this one out of the way, and move forward. I’m not going to go in there and beat them down. They’re beat-down already.” - Ron Rivera

 

Amen Ron... now you've got to fix it

Yea lets get to 9 wins so we can hang our hat on something this season before the Saints drop kick us out of the playoffs to put the Salt in the wound real nice like finishing with an elbow from the top of the turnbuckle.

Sean Vicodin and Mole Bitch actually like to watch numbers, pad stats, and chase records so they could try for actual 100 if they wanted in the dome. A game even Luke may try to get ejected from.

The record says 6-3 but reality is this is a 4-5 team that caught some luck 

I feel ya, but saying that is the equivalent of saying the 2003 team was an 8-8 team that caught some luck (which is true), or that the 2015 team was the worst 15-1 team in history.  Both teams still went on to do great things, and this one still can.

I agree after tonight, this team doesn't look on par with being able to challenge for NFC supremacy or the SB, but there still is a lot of football left (and hopefully the playoffs).

We played a white-hot team on the road with 3 days rest... that was going to be hard no matter what.

I agree with anyone the defense has got to improve across the board.

On offense, the line got dominated tonight, but the talent is still there

The 2003 team especially was 8-5 at one point and looked like they finally were going to start playing down to their true talent level and then went on a tear.

This 2018 iteration just beat the crap out of 3 straight teams, including the SB champions on the road.

We just got to regroup and come back strong, and do something on defense

Gano hit a 63 yd FG to save our ass!

Cam played a great 4th vs Philly to save our ass! 

 

This team is not very good. Defense is terrible!

The 2003 team played 4 overtime games (including the Double OT game in St. Louis) and won 3 of them.  Made the SB.  Going into the playoffs, we were called an 8-8 team that lucked into 11-5 (and there was some validity to it)

I agree with you about the defense needing something drastic done, but the season is not over and nothing ultimately matters except making the playoffs and doing well once we're there

The difference between 4-12 and 12-4 for most teams is no more than 10 to 15 plays.... The defense is awful though.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
