We're less than 30 days from kickoff, who's excited?

I am starting to get excited about this team taking the field on September 13th at home against the Raiders.  I have a feeling we may be a tougher out than most people think.  We'll take a bunch of L's but will have a lot to cheer about and watch some young players develop into future stars.

I’m excited to see what we’ve got with Rhule and Brady and Snow for sure. Have low expectations for wins but I do think we’ll have some exciting games and our offense will be fun to watch regardless of our record. Defense, oh boy. Just hoping to see some improvement over the course of the season there and young players showing good potential being realized. If the whole is greater than the sum of our parts on D I’ll be really happy, our D’s talent equals 32nd in the league. If it’s better than that credit to Snow and it bodes well for the future.

Pretty much this. Everyone things I'm being negative saying we're going to lose a bunch of games, etc. but that's just being realistic. It doesn't mean you can't watch the games and enjoy watching a young team and staff develop together. It's just gonna be a miserable experience if you're expecting wins.

Yeah I mean it would be just dumb and delusional to expect us to make the playoffs or anything like that. I wouldn’t be completely shocked if we do scrape up 7+ wins but that would require a whole lot to go perfectly for us and I think is very unlikely. More likely we’re in the 4-6 win range, though with our D I couldn’t rule out 1-3 wins. Either way as you said, best to have lower expectations, and just enjoy it for what it is.

I am excited and anxious. 

 

I plan to treat every game like it is the last of the season. 

Same, this pandemic has made me appreciate sports more.  Every game is precious.

    • It was a team loss, because it's a team game.  I even admitted so in the above post.  That does not deflect or shield a player or players for their role in that loss. Horn's penalty and Hubbard's fumble were super costly.   What was your intent on starting this thread with an All-22 pass play?  Did you honestly think there would be no controversy around Bryce?  Then go on to say if anyone disagrees they are 100% anti-Bryce.  Really?  I've stated over and over again my position on Bryce.  At this point, he's not the pre-benching '24 Bryce, that guy is largely gone.  However, his ceiling is game manager level for like 80% of his outings, that being middling...10% really good and 10% awful.  That's not my idea of a franchise QB.  The notion that we just have to maximize everything around him to nudge him above game manager level is not only unrealistic, but one sided...literally.  The defense has taken a back seat as a priority on this team, yet we complain about it.  How many die hard NFL fans can name anyone on our defense outside of Brown and Horn?  Heck most fair weather Panthers fan couldn't either.
    • People have genuinely ignored the fact that Horn is having a very underwhelming season overall. The INT's are way up but a lot of the other metrics have not been very kind. He has had a disappointing year overall by his standards.
    • their pass defense is good but not that good.  they are giving up on average 198 yards passing per gamd which is higher than byoungs average per game.  their pass defense is basically the same as the panthers pass d
