Yeah it's good to see lots of positivity from the huddle; not something I've been used to particularly during the Rivera-Hurney years. If Green Bay can get completely destroyed by a Saints team we dominated, and the Rams can go from looking like the best team in the NFL hands down to getting handily beaten at home to the Cardinals (although impressively 4-0 themselves), I think we can survive a one possession defeat to the 3-1 Cowboys on the road. If there's any truth to the NFL it's any team can go down in any give week. CMC will be back soon (certainly before we hit the tougher parts of our schedule), Henderson will get up to speed, and Brady, Snow and Rhule will finetune their gameplans.

Darnold and the O as a whole could have packed up and went home for the 4th. They didn't. They fought hard and we were a couple D stops away from tieing or winning. Given the D should be our strength moving forward... I was glad our O didn't collapse and showed resilience.

But it was still a loss.

Darn old had some bad throws and decisions. Not sure that it was because of him, the defense or the OL.   That said, he seemed to respond to that and overcome it. He made some good plays down the stretch to get it within one score. 
 Always thought there would be bumps in the road but felt we could work out some stuff with Sam.  Still feel that way.

Did you catch the Cardinals game this afternoon? 

If the trend holds, I'd put money on the Cardinals to handily lose next week as the unbeaten darlings of the league (a la Bucs in week 3, Rams in week 4). Definitely possible against the 49ers.

Also who had the Raiders and Cardinals as the last 2 unbeaten teams in the league? After tomorrow night, it might just be one.

Derek Carr was my dark horse MVP candidate. I fully expected them and him to be sneaky good this year. I definitely didn't expect the Cardinals to be 4-0 though. They've played some decent competition. Don't let the Vikings' 1-3 record fool you. Their three losses are by a combined 11 points.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
