Should've kept Steve Wilks 

I didn't want to keep Wilks because I thought we were finally going to land a young up and coming offensive mind like a Ben Johnson or Stane Sheichen. But if you were just going to hire a retread coach, you might as well kept the coach that finally brought some competence back to this team.

I've just given up at this point. We just have too many old heads in the building that the NFL has just past by. We will always be behind the curve when it comes to the modern NFL, ESPECIALLY with Tepper at the helm. Hell, Tepper was like the only one that voted to have Mike Tomlin out. Goes to show you just how fuggin stupid he is. We are in bad hands.

lol you guys are silly, you complained because we didnt tank last year and then now that were tanking, OMG were not gonna win the super bowl this year.  Granted Carolina wont have the 1st pick in the draft but being at the top of the other rounds does make a difference so sit back, relax and enjoy the tank.

Uhhhh what in the actual f*ck did I just read? 

The ENTIRE point in tanking is to get the 1st pick not the 33rd…?

I truly cannot believe this actually needed to be said

It doesn’t matter where we pick in each round. Fitt can’t pick anyone that helps our team.

Tanking is meaningful when you have a 1st. We are complaining because this wasn’t supposed to be a tank year and we gave up our first. Feels like our 1st this year might actually be high enough for a top QB without a trade up and we gave it away. Young better work out but damn we need so much more still.

I think we wanted Ben Johnson until he backed out. The thing is we have a young talented former McVay assistant coach on our staff. Thomas Brown needs to call plays.

Been reading old Indy tweets and looking at stats from his time there. The guy really does start slow. 6-10-1 in September yet 11-5 in December and it’s pretty consistent. 
 

Apparently Colts fans complained about the same things:

-Undisciplined players

-Slow starts

-Sloppy football

-Random hare brained calls with the game on the line. 

All of these slowly improve through our the season.

His catch phrase on his memes are all “It starts with me” which I’ve already noticed him saying a ton.

The Andrew Luck retirement really shell shocked his career from the start, then there is a bunch of blame gaming on QBs that was given to him but it looks like Jonathan Taylor really kept him there the last season or two. And the run offense doesn’t look much different, the OL just plays the zones better and Taylor is a monster. 
 

Ton of comments about him being a push over and yes man for the front office.

The guy I wanted rejected us (Ben J) but I'd be lying if I didn't say I stomached the Reich hire and convinced myself I liked it through the staff he brought in. So then, I accepted it and got excited.

Problem is that we now lost 2, arguably 3, VERY winnable games and Young looks much less ready than anticipated. It's just a sour taste when our flaws are the areas we were primed for the biggest improvement. 

Looking ahead, the upcoming schedule combined with circumstance has us in a bad spot that will get worse.  Just be ready folks.  Jefferson, then Detroit, then Miami.  It could get downright ugly and Reich is obviously not going anywhere in the coming weeks.

Could EASILY be looking at 0-6 going into a stretch with 3 teams that were supposedly on our same "tier": Bears, Texans and Colts.  

This offense needs to be non-Clausen level by that point.  Honestly, sh*t will absolutely hit the fan if we're 0-6 and lose to Stroud to get 0-7.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
