They sure as hell beat our world.

I think it's dumb when guys act like not acknowledging how badly we just got beat somehow makes it less of a thing.

See it in the fight game all the time. A guy will get his ass kicked and then act as if the guy that just beat the brakes off of him isn't that good. I mean, you're basically just talking poo about yourself when you act like the guy or team that just made you look like an amateur isn't all that good. Like what does that say about you then?

He’s right...if they were playing a team with a coach that had a clue how to stop them.

Honestly there are only two teams that have a legitimate shot at beating them.  #1 is the Patriots, because well, Brady/Belichik.  #2 is New Orleans because Payton/Brees.  Payton may be a pill snorting degenerate but he knows offense.

I mean, it’s not something he should say publicly but I get where he’s coming from. They’re not a more skilled team than we are. The difference is coaching. 

I don't know man, they looked more skilled to me. The coaching was trash, but Norv Turner wasn't out there whiffing blocks and Ron Rivera wasn't out there completely botching run fits. The players deserve plenty of blame too. All-around team loss.

We got our asses kicked. Accept it and move on.

No I respect the willful ignorance. Shows fire

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
