A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

If this was a rebuild why didn’t we take 2 1sts  and 3rd for Burns?  

Because you still need parts for a functional rebuild? I agree we shoulda been paid Brian but but you need...some value you can't always think you'll hit on the mystery box.

Team went 6-6 under Wilks last year with Matt Rhule’s rejects. If this “all star” coaching staff can’t at least match that then the Panthers made yet another a major mistake. 

Not even close to the same offense as last year save the o-line. Losing D.J. and replacing his value with an oft injured wr and and old injured wr has been the biggest change. We also have a rookie QB. Say what you will abt Sam but at least at the end of last season he was playing he knew what he could and couldn't do.

We had what, 2 wins against teams with a winning record?  Can’t exactly compare win totals only since the schedule difficulty changes.

I've honestly tempered my expectations for the season when our GM publicly came out and told us to. Defense is ballin but the offense is playing like a unit that is brand new.

That said, I don't the Saints are as good as some have made them out to be, that defense is old,  but I also don't know who covers Olave so we'll see.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
