I am trying to be mad about this but we did storm back in a way that we don't normally ever do in the post-Cam era.

I will put it this way, consider how dogshit we looked all game and still almost won it.

So, I guess the question is are we going to still continue to be dogshit all season or are we gonna dial it in? If we lessen the mistakes and plug some obvious holes, we could actually be mediocre.

You should be right but I am expecting implosion. All the elements are there and now the pressure is being added. They will win some games but I don't think it will be more than last year even if they are more competitive.

Or are we going to find more creative ways to lose f*cking games?

Yeah, I mean that is the million dollar question.

I guess at the bare minimum we might actually be interesting to watch keep sucking versus insanely frustrating to watch suck like last year.

IDK. What a fuging weird game. So much bad sprinkled with some big flashes of good.

To be fair I think they were going for a TD on that first play where Baker fumbled his 4th snap of the game.

I mean that is just more on the playing scared pile.
Whether you lose to a last second FG or lose b/c you fumbled it in the redzone its still a tick in the L column.

Play to win the fugin game

Well, this sucks.  But I will say that Mayfield looked a lot better in the second half.  In fact, given the amount of pressure he was under, he looked amazingly good in the second half.

he still sucked ass, a bit better than sam but not the long term answer

Agreed but the real question is whether it was Mayfield getting better in the 2nd half or the Browns taking their "defensive" foot off the gas?

It wasn’t a fluke lol. We outplayed them in the second half. The first half screwed us. Really the first quarter. We were just off and it cost us the game. But I’m very proud of how they kept battling and almost pulled it out. At least we didn’t fold and give up like previous years. 

Yeah I know it’s like people want to discount the fourth quarter when everything started coming together. Someone had to lose this game and unfortunately was a Panthers. Hopefully next week they’ll put it together and come out a little more prepared, or at least knowing what their strengths and weaknesses are in a real game.

not that we had any business winning that game for how we played most of the game....that last scoring drive we were playing to not make a mistake and not trying to win.... its the vibe of the coach...fked up really....throw a pass...run more time off the clock....terrible gutless series.

Still don’t understand why we didn’t start Ickey at LG until he’s better acclimated at LT. We also seem to get it wrong.

I’m overreacting. It was his first NFL game ever against one of the toughest assignments in the NFL. He’ll get better, but I agree he is better suited for guard right now (and maybe forever).

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      THE WALKER BACKGROUND Here is where this gets weird.  Walker is a serviceable LT who could benefit from Gilbert's experience and coaching.  However, he is known for below-average run blocking and frequent penalties.  As you know, a penalty from a LT is a drive killer. A former 7th round pick, Walker has outperformed expectations, but he still ranks around the middle of the pack when compared to other tackles.  Having said that, it seems as if the Panthers are banking on Walker for a year and will then make a decision on Ickey.  In Green Bay, Walker was the starter, but the Packers weren't exactly sold on him. While most people think the oft-injured David Bakhtiari retired in 2023, he really wanted to keep playing.  He was released on March, 11, 2024.  Walker stepped in and took the reserve LT job from Nijman in that 2023 season, but they were close--probably because Nijman was more of a swing OT.  However, Nijman was a free agent in 2024, so the Panthers signed him just a week after Bakhtiari was released, leaving the Packers only Walker to play LT.  A month later, the Packers drafted a LT in the first round, Jordan Morgan out of Arizona.  Most Packer fans believe that Morgan would have beat out Walker for the LT job in 2024, but he had some shoulder injuries and went to IR after 6 games. In 2025, when the Packers had an injury at G during the season, instead of putting Morgan in at LT for Walker as planned, they played Morgan to guard because Walker can only play 1 position.  The Packers currently project Morgan back to LT for 2026, which is probably why they did not seek to retain Walker, at least in part. Based on this history, it is safe to say this: Walker is better than Nijman. We have the benefit of them being on the same team in a direct competition to help us see that. Walker is probably closer to Ickey, except for the penalties.  That bothers me a lot.  Bryce sucks when we get behind the sticks, and a run-first offense with a poor run-blocking LT is not ideal.   Regardless, I think Ickey and the Panthers find themselves in limbo right now, so the Walker deal comes at a perfect time for the GM.  Gilbert, perhaps, can work on the penalties and maybe a TE like Tremble can help offset the run blocking issues, so maybe we can actually stay the course at OT.  Maybe we do not draft a LT--maybe we draft a RT to groom behind Moton.  Maybe we draft a C.  At LT, the Panthers do not want to overreact, especially if Ickey returns to form or Walker demonstrates improvement.  Depth is certainly a concern, but a solid RT can be that depth.   I doubt the Panthers draft a LT in rounds one or maybe two.  It seems we have bigger needs at Will LB, DT, TE, and maybe S.

      THIS! IF we go offense at 19, it should be the trenches, which is no longer a pressing need with Waler's signing. 3 biggest needs in 2026, IMO, are DT, FS, ILB. We need to upgrade our starters at those positions and I expect anyone rafted at 19 to start immediately. I could rationalize OT (right or left) or CB since we're an injury away from a severe drop off AND have huge offseason concerns at both next year. Unless Bryce plays a lot better, I want to upgrade QB next year so I could get behind locking in a 2027 starter this year if the right guy is there. You COULD argue NCB and TE are positions where we need to upgrade our starters, sure, but not at 19. Both positions can still be upgraded on day 2.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By 45catfan · Posted

      He's firmly a second rounder and I don't think we would go that high for a TE this draft.  Third?  Possibly. I mean Rhule drafted Tremble in the third round who clearly was just a blocking TE.
