Chris Carter & Stephen A. Smith Believes In Our Team

They say we can bounce back after watching the game. They gave credit to the Giants, but they know we should have kicked them in the mouth when they was down. So we should feel good. Stephen said if we get another chance, we can go back up there and beat HIS Giants

Meanwhile Skip Bayless did a 180 on our team. He pretty much blamed the loss on Kasay stutter step. And say that will be the turnaround of Giants team, and we they cant beat us AGAIN if we meet

But as I figured, nobody mentioned we missed our starting two DT's

Its a shame about the wind. I personally feel Smith should've been more involved when we were ahead to give us that buffer.

I don't really feel angry about anything. We were banged up on D and the Giants played extremely well. Not a huge downside to the performance we turned in.

come to think of it, i think the stutterstep had something to do with the miss. it was almost like the ball was supposed to be snapped then when kasay started. had the ball been snapped then, the wind would not have mattered b/c the ball would've curved still, but within the crossbars. the gust of wind came at the right time. the stutterstep threw off the timing.

just my opinion, not an excuse. more of an observation

nothing to be upset about, we should all be able to find a little comfort in how close it was and the fact we still had a chance to win it. do you really think we will give up 300 yards rushing to them if we play again? when you lose TOP 40 to 25 minutes, give up 300 on the ground, missing both DTs, and have a chance to win the game with a field goal on their field i think thats a pretty good sign.

I don't understand why everyone needs some d-bag with a voice to reassure them that their team is good. Who cares what they say, just from watching the game you can tell that the panthers are far from being out of the SB race and that it is ridiculous to think that we would have no chance to defeat the giants.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
