Our #1 goal needs to be getting PP specialists in the off-season. That way we won't have bums like Necas and kotkaniemi on our PP turning it over and refusing to take open shots

Necas will be fine. He’s having an off year.

It's hard to pinpoint because all of our top guys go MIA

Alright. We’re out boys. Should have started Freddie in 6. Later hockey gents we’ll recap tomorrow. 

Easier said than done. I still don't think he is anywhere close to being 100% ready. I guess the question is do we think 60% healthy Freddie would have been better...

Raanta really didn't play that bad tonight. No chance on the 2nd goal and the first goal was tough because of the screen. I would have liked it if he peeked out to his left instead of right before Fox shot it, but that's a tough save regardless. Again, this team has shown that when they don't score the first goal, they completely abandon their game plan and just turn to poo. Just zero mental toughness and discipline

You start koch in game 6 if Freddie isn’t ready. You can sack the game. And if he was ready knowing he was the starter he probably would have played a lot better. Raanta needed that time to rest he was injured, a lot, and he still put a few games through. Starting Raanta was the dumbest thing possible.

Telling your team "hey boys, we are going to throw this game away so we can rest Raanta" wouldn't go to well in the locker room. Pyotr shouldn't be playing at all unless something like tonight happened with raanta getting hurt

This team isn't built to chase games that's for sure.

Untrue. We aren’t built to beat high standard goalies. We aren’t also built to beat the refs missing mutiple penalties. I wanna see Aho, Staal and Marty on the stand tomorrow.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
