Would you be satisfied and consider the season a success if the Panthers made the playoffs and were one and done?

Winning season and playoffs are the goal but the true objective should be winning it all. Can't completely be satisfied without that, but there are several seasons we've had in our history (1996, 2003, 2005, 2014, 2015, 2017) where you could say, "yeah we did about all we could that year. Maybe more" and I'm including 2015 because even though we unquestionably should've won the super bowl, it was still a hell of a year.

10-6 or 9-7 and the playoffs would be good for me. While some downplay it, getting the back to back winning season thing would be, by definition, a historic achievement.

At this point, I just want to beat Detroit and see what happens against Seattle (the third or fourth team we get after they had a 10 day layoff).

I'd be happy. Us long time fans follow the team because we love the team. We have learned over the years (now approaching a generation) that for the most part we have sucked. RR gets too much hate around here, as we have won more under him than any in franchise history. People used to cry about not  having back to back wining seasons! 

Playoffs the last 4 of 5 is pretty damn good to me. We are not a high market team..and never will be. I am a fan and pretty happy we win some games and more or less are not the Browns! If you think not winning is bad now...just wait until Cams contract is up for renewal! It will be 2009 all over again!

But....we are ready to win!!! Tepper is the man and everything is gonna change!!!

Nah, because unless things change dramatically, our likelist first round game will be as the Wild Card @ the winner of the NFC North or East. Meaning we'd have lost to an inferior team. If we somehow end up playing @NO again and lose close, while of course I'll be disappointed , it'll have been a good season overall.

One and done is what we look like, but what I want is a red hot streak where we win the SB. It can happen, but we look very one and done. 

 

    I just don't agree with this. We very well could wind up the #5 seed. Which means we would play the #4 seed. Which would come from the North, or the East. Not sure I am afraid of anyone in those Divisions.

 

    So, IMO, we are good enough to get to the Divisional Round. And with luck, who knows how far we can go. All we need is for our D, to step it up a notch or two.

      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!
