We’ll win 5 on 5 more than we’ll lose.

From here on out it comes down to going even in special teams. If we refuse to score on the PP then we can’t let them either.

I highly doubt that happens again. 

Also pulling the goalie is still considered 5-5 even strength

A one goal road loss after the absolute crap they laid in the first....

A one goal loss when they were literally 0-special teams..... that's A MAJOR OUTLIER it's highly unlikely to happen again.

The only thing I wanted when we were out of the game was for the rags to get one more PP to prove to our guys they still got it. Didn’t happen. Dude Staal is gonna beast this series. He was fire tonight. He probably had more real hits than the rest of our team combined.

Right, but obviously we aren’t pulling the goalie in a 2-2 game.

My point is that in equal 5 v. 5 play it was a 2-2 game with the Canes having twice as much o-zone time and the Rags scoring off of a beer league goal.

I’ll keep repeating it. Go to PK and get a net 0 from special teams or better and we’ll win the series.

Now if we continue to be -1 or -2 in special teams then the series will be over quick.

It was a few simple mistakes tbh. But yeah overall it was really just one bad period and one very soft goal from Freddie we dominated most of the play.

Anther thing a realistic fans expectation for the first two games would be to keep them close and hopefully steal one since that was my expectation I'm not disappointed....

 

They had one absolutely awful period it happens it's how you respond.

Dude. We lost!  Freddie was bad. Our PK 0-2 was trash. Our 0-5 PP was worse. We lost the 5-5 scoring.  It’s not hard. We got our ass kicked. I hope they play better but special teams was a disaster.  Freddie was trash panda      Unless something changes, it’s another year of wasted talent.

I think this has 2022 in reverse written all over it honestly.

That was my biggest concern as well and I was proven wrong. If I was the rags I’d be scared as fug right now.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
