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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
