Most of the fans in the stands knew fair well that we almost walked out of the Meadowlands as the victors.

Before the game started I got lots of chants of "Panthers suck"...and when I walked out of the stands most people congratulated me on a good game and said they knew we had a great team that was NOT overrated. We easily could have been the winners and for that moment, they loved the crosswinds in the Meadowlands since it did not burn the Giants.

We showed up for our third straight Prime time game, went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the NFL, which just happens to be the defending Champs and lost in overtime. We did so without our run stuffing DT (which proved to be HUGE) and with a reserve RG.

We had no turn overs, gave up ZERO sacks, saw only 1 penalty, ran for 150+, scored 28 in a very hostile environment and are guaranteed a play off position.

For me, the win would have been the icing on the cake. But we know now we can play with and beat anyone. We need to get Kemo back and beat the Saints, if we do that I'll feel very good about the next month or so.

I'm not a silver lining kind of guy. To me, it was a terrible performance, regardless of how close the game was. Giving up 300 yards rushing, even without your best run stopper, is pathetic. Kemo or not, we were getting killed on the outside, as we continued to be fooled by the shotgun run plays. In addition, our secondary continued to be terrible, allowing the Giants to secure a first down pretty much anytime they wanted, by playing Trgovac Style cushions. Every key reception in the game seemed to be to a wide open player. That's a problem.

I'm not going to panic, but I'm certainly not going to celebrate a loss in which the defense played so incredibly bad. I do think that when the playoffs come, our defensive inabilities are going to keep us from making a deep run into the playoffs. Scoring 30 points a game is awesome, but if our offense has a bad game, we're in trouble.

Panthers belong where they are now... primetime. Showed with 2 opportunities that came our way.

I'm still okay after the sad loss yesterday... we could have won and clinched home field through the playoffs, but that is okay. What matters is that we were neck to neck with one of the better teams in the league right now and we played with class. Very confident that we'll have a better outing in the playoffs if we end up playing Giants again.

I don't feel good about our run defense or the coverage schemes, nor do I feel good about going to New Orleans to secure homefield. Atlanta isn't going to lose to the Rams, so we NEED to win this next game.

I do feel good about our offensive performance, though.

I'm feeling better today, and in fact, sort of wonder if the loss will help us. This may just be me trying to make up for the horrid feeling I had last night but if you think about it, with this loss, we have some 'splain' to do! We will go back to work, fix our wrongs, and right the ship. And on the other side of the coin, the Giants are now cocky. Too cocky. That could have been us and we would've been in a world of hurt in the Playoffs with that attitude. Now the Giants have to play at THAT level every game because every team is hunting them down. Us? We're now the hunters. Let's go kill 'em.

I agree with AK. I think that our offense even without smitty doing his usual we kept ourselves in the game. I do think that some of the play calling was a bit conservitive but its over now. The defense was embarrased and i'm sure won't allow that kinda run game happen again to them. I hated to see their runners in the secondary do much but I loved to see that our secondary wasen't shying away with little hits. Our corners were hitting hard. Harris may have taught em a thing or to.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By Basbear · Posted

      They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....

      He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
