The NFL has a lot of "corrections". The first drive of a game, for example, doesn't always tell the whole story (that's been a pretty common one for us).

Likewise, Week 1 of the season is often a bit illusory.

A lot of conclusions that people draw based on what they observed in the first game of the year will turn out to be false by the next week, or the next.

And others... won't.

That's why this Sunday's performance is something to which we should pay very close attention.

If the team comes out looking at least half decent on both offense and defense (especially run defense) then the upcoming weeks might not be so bad.

But also sad to say that if we start out looking flat again and the defense is still giving up chunks of yards from the get go, we could be looking at a disaster of a season.

So what will it be? Don't know, but I'm ready to find out.

See ya Sunday 😕

I was a bit concerning when they didn't have some sort of success on the first drive. That drive is scripted and shows a bit of how bad we have it in the coaching department. Everyone knows Baker didn't have a full offseason with us but that should have been known. Same for the defense. Did they watch any tape?

Last year our trademark was looking good only on the 1st drive lol.

Yes, if we look better week 2 then there is some hope.

If there isn't a very noticeable difference in week 2, don't expect to see much of an improvement throughout the season. 

They have to make things right this week....or it's going to be a long one for those who decide they want to keep watching that poo.

In my experience as a fan I’ve never seen run defense improve in a season or over a season(outside of the 2006 Colts in the playoffs). No matter the team they all want to run the ball and exploit you where possible. 
 

I just don’t see any d linemen getting heavier, stronger, or quicker very fast. Snow’s scheme doesn’t seem that flexible to put more bodies on the line.

if you watch the all22 Ian is shoved in the back by the safety and falls into DJ. This is just half second perfect screenshot to make it look like they are blocking each other.

A half second screen shot of a blown assignment which lead to that. MG is in our backfield before CMC is even at the LOS. I stand by my statement.

      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.
