First off, I'd like to say that in regards to my drunken rage yesterday I have...

no regrets GIF

 

Second, here are some more sober thoughts about yesterday's loss.

 

Momentum, I believe in it. Young teams are especially susceptible to it, both positive and negative. This is why those many blown calls in the first half were so detrimental. It's not just about the score. 

 

Sam Darnold, I believe in him. Sam has played the best football from the QB position since 2015. The Panthers must find a way to protect him and give him more time or else I fear soon he may regress to a green uniform.

 

Chuba Hubbard showed a lot of promise and settled my mind about the backup RB spot. He is good enough for this team to win with.

 

Run defense was pretty bad yesterday, but it happens. Until it happens again I am not even going to worry about it. All of our best defenses had occasional breakdowns like that from time to time.

 

What I keep coming back to is how that felt like a Ron Rivera 45-7 blowout loss on the road. But Rhule kept the guys playing hard and kept it relatively close. That is encouraging.

It boils down to the Panthers had a cupcake first 3 weeks with 2 rookie QBs on bad teams and a Saints team led by Famous with a weakened roster/staff with covid and injuries. 
 

The secondary looked completely lost in the second half. I’m not sure if losing Horn was a reason yet. Their OLine looked like it was twice the size of our DLine. I didn’t like that matchup at all. 
 

They ran into a stud QB on a loaded team who will probably challenge for the NFC. Need to take this game and throw it in the trash and move on

Chinn isn't a FS but we are forcing him to play most snaps at FS.

I never thought the Panthers, the D, the coaching staff, Sam were what was collectively painted after 3 weeks. 

I also don’t think any of those things are what was painted after the Dallas game.  

I think when we are done with the 3 game stretch vs the Cowboys, Eagles and Vikings we will have a good overall picture of our strength and weaknesses and exactly where we stack up.

Whether I am sober or drunk I fuging hate the cowboys.   
 

I like where we are as a franchise but I am really questioning wtf they were thinking not going left tackle and addressing the line furthermore in the draft.     That decision is going to tank our season IMO.   If we can figure out the line in this off season then we are in good shape but I am not sure how you do that missing so many quality picks.  
 

fug the cowboys and fug the cheating refs.

      People keep talking about them because that’s all the talking heads talk about.  For instance, just this year the committee said that a conference loser should not be penalized, they left out “only if you are Alabama” because the other 2 did and a 3 loss team didn’t drop a damn spot!  It’s sickening.  The world does not revolve around that shitty institution that gave us Bryce Young.  And now that everyone can legally pay players I hope to God they never sniff another championship…no offense.

      Bama definitely hasn’t had the best of anything for the last few years, but somehow, they’re still the program everyone talks about. I get it though. Their run under Saban was historic, so everyone wants to kick them when they’re down.
