Glass half full, most of the league is wildly inconsistent this year. If you told me that in a few months the Panthers would be 10-7, I'd believe it. If you told me they would be 7-10, I'd believe it. This is a weird year and with the 17 game season, everything is wide open.

Bucs are world beaters until they run into the Saints and WFT.

Rams think they have the Greatest Show on Turf 2.5 and then get rocked by the 49ers.

Cowboys are on top of the world and then Teddy McMittens and the Broncos stomp them.

Packers lost to the Saints early, went on a run and then Vikings got em today. 

Cardinals were great, hit an injury patch and look pedestrian now. 

In the AFC the Titans and Bills were juggernauts until they got the brakes beat off them.

Long story short, call it parity or just crazy inconsistency but there are exactly 0 teams that look unbeatable and exactly 0 that are completely futile. Even the Lions fight like hell even if the results don't show it. It's just a weird year.

Fug thinking about the playoffs. A big part of why we're flailing is because this team is way too quick to start feeling themselves. We had Fitts and Rhule openly talking about playoffs at 3-0. We proceed to faceplant. We sign Cam and beat the hell out of a badly shorthanded Cardinals team and then we faceplant against a bad Washington team.

This team has to learn to just take things one game at a time.

This.  Our team played more like a Rivera team today than Rivera's team played like a Rivera team with the old trademark failing to show up when it matters.

I'm not thinking playoffs anymore.  We have lost to virtually every middling team playing for the last 2 wildcard spots, thus giving them the tiebreaker over us, so it's likely over.  

Furthermore, today was supposed to be a winnable game, and yet, we laid a big fat fuging egg, so there are no more such things as winnable games for us until after the fact.  This team is poorly coached and wins in spite of it, but are far more likely to lose because of it.

Our next two games are very winnable, personally I also think the Saints gave is very winnable for us as we’ll. I also think we could steal a game from the Bills due to our defense matching up well with speed. The Bucs are rough but taking 1 game out of the two is possible. Cam is back, the offense looked solid the defense will play better. Keep pounding!
 

 

Other ppl here won’t say it but it’s good to have some positivity and optimism on this board after a bad game.. All is not lost and reality is we’re still in year 2 of a total rebuild and most analysts didn’t have us in the playoff picture anyway…

I salute you sir..

I couldn’t agree more, this year there’s really no unbeatable team. It’s really all about matchups this year it’s really hard to know who’s really the best team.

today left me uninspired, lowering my expectations to nothing until the last game might be best for my mental health

Today was bittersweet, obviously we lost which sucks. But on the bright side Cam looked great and it was actually fun watching a good qb play on our team. He will only get better with time too to gain chemistry and learn the playbook further and allow the Panthers to game plan around Cam.

At this point making the playoffs probably sets the team back another two years 

Dude what? First off there is literally zero abs worth drafting(I wanna keep Cam anyway) and secondly we don’t even have half of our draft picks this draft winning really actually wouldn’t affect us very much at all. Keep kicking the can down the road and think you’ll win then doesn’t work, strive to win and build up your organization to develop players and sustain success.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
