Yeah another loss sucks and the world seems like it's about to end. Still we have a easy schedule ahead and the eagles were almost as good a team as the Cowboys. Yes both are Avg teams but sometimes when injuries bite and you're a avg team this happens. Things are not as lost as some might think and even could end up better than expected. Here are some of my thoughts moving forward. 

 

1.Oline: This is by far the worst Oline I have seen a team field ever but Rhule is being forced by injuries to play guys who could be good to great in the future. We will consistently see teams run stunts on us because the Texans wrote the roadmap to beating our line. Dallas definitely perfected it and Philly just copied their paper. The Good news is we actually have the right Tackles where they should be now. If Brady and Rhule are smart they will leave it that way. We need to leave it and let the line gel. I would also like to see Brown beside Moton but I'm guessing injury is the only way we will. 

 

2. Defense: while they really are not to blame for our losses getting our new CBs up to speed will take a few weeks. I feel we will see those TDs slowly become less and less with Henderson ,Jackson, and Gilmore gel. It's not ideal to be rebuilding early season but we can't help JC went down. 

 

3. CMC: I really can't tell you how much he effects the game. Our loss today prob would have been a win if he was in there. Darnold is not ready to take a team on his back much less with a Oline not fit to block for a ACC team. Getting McCaffrey back will be a huge boost. Add in Tommy Tremble and we will have a pretty good attack when he's back. 

 

 

So yes my prediction is still the same. Yes I don't think a big losing streak is coming. I see us taking on a struggling Vikings team pretty well. Our next big test will be the Patriots and will be the bar on how well we have come. So don't melt down, know we are a building team that is probably going to end up around. 500 and relax and just enjoy the ups and downs of the rest of the season.

Honestly our secondary other than fuggin Franklin played well today.  Everyone asks about Henderson...did you hear his name called?  No, that's a good thing....he wasn't beat today.  Jackson played really well overall....our defense was great.

Our offense and special teams lost this game.  The ST coach should be fired, Daley and Miller need to be on the sideline and Brady and the coaching staff have to decide what kind of offense we can run with the protection Sam is afforded.  The offense played like crap, Sam played like crap, ST were crap and Franklin who isn't an NFL starter continued to play like crap...hell where is Russ Cockrell when you need him.

Eagles as good as the Cowboys? How do you figure?

No matter how you want to spin it we should not have lost this game. 
 

We were supposed to be piling up wins now because we probably won’t win much at the end, doesn’t look possible now. 
 

And the Pats had to come back from ten down to beat the lowly Texans.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
