Is anyone here not waving the white flag?

A close loss is a loss.  We’ll see how Rhule looks against a rookie coach and roster pending demolition next week.  A loss to the Giants is the death nail.

And then the schedule actually gets tough lol

yeah I am somewhat happy without the team bounced back today, we had a new offense vs one of the best D's in the NFL. Next week is everything though, loose to the giants and ill be distraught. Its a week 1 L to an AFC team, means nothing in terms of tiebreakers.

Personally appreciate the fact that this team played a competitive game against a quality team. Normally this is the type of team that curb stomps the Panthers, particularly in the second half. Instead of looking for something else to do with my day by the third quarter, I got to watch a really good football game. Adjustments were made. Team fell short, but there's definitely hope.

Good game by the Panthers.  Ekwonu has to pay his dues, good to get the worst he'll see out of the way in week 1.  The Browns running game is the best the Panthers will see this year, but they couldn't run out the 4th quarter on the Panthers Defense.  The offense showed fortitude, shaking off early challenges and getting things moving, taking the lead with a minute and change left in the game.  McCaffrey looked good and heads into week 2 healthy.  In the end a blown call and a 58 yd fg lost this game, it happens in the NFL unfortunately.  There's a lot of positives to take away. The real test is how the Panthers play next week vs the Giants.  You can't let 1 tough loss turn into 2.  Hopefully the Panthers offense gets things going earlier.

On the season? Of course not the book is unwritten on Baker as of yet. But if anyone is still fully buying what Rhule is selling after seeing how poor the offense has been under his watch via multiple different quarterbacks and coordinators they are either mentally ill or must be related to the man.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
