This was a solid game. The refs took us out of the game. We can’t do anything about that. We’re just not at the place where we can beat two teams at once yet. 
 

If we had a Charles Johnson level DE this would be a great team.

The failed 4th and 1 and a Daltons hailmary  for a pick took us out of the game...

The problem is Mingo is probably our best blocking WR by a good margin.

Well you gotta start somewhere with accountability. Guys in the locker room see this stuff on tape. If you're trying to change the culture you don't continue to reward lack of effort.

about what was expected. think vegas gave the defense too much cred and bengals not enough coming in. did the begals get a helping hand from the refs, sure, but bengals were close to cruise control, but couldnt stay there as the offense was a threat.

our offense is better than average at this point. young and growing outside Qb. but with a gunslinging QB, we get to see how good the unit can be. the WRs got a ways to go, but overall they did ok. the 2nd half dropsies sucked ass though and hurt our chances at the upset.

now defense, this feels like Rons last year D. its a different unit and different DC, but it was paper thin, and not really great up front. like then, we got injured and it was a whole lotta suck. same here. pass rushers and brown out really hurt. its a bunch of JAGS. backend has 1 guy thats good to great in horn. but he cant save the D alone. they are scrappy and can get some stops, but they are going to be bottom 10 or worse this year. 

last years was better but teams didnt really go 60 min all out as they knew we couldnt score....... Luvu would be great here........

expected this as a L coming in. burrow and all his weapons back vs our shitty front 7. fact that we stayed within a score most of the game after bad start from the offense was encouraging. 

we are no longer a pushover and we will win a lot more games than last year. low bar but will likely be a huge improvement on O with a lot of the parts locked in for a while so easier path to upgrade next year. outside the pesky long term qb (still pissy we didnt take CJ, but thats in the past now). playoffs are a long shot unless the NFS south takes a hug backslide, and unfortunately they have real offenses that will really feast against this defense.

X is raw and you can tell he’s still learning, so he’s thinking too hard instead of just playing his game. Drops can really mess with a rookie’s confidence. Andy is exactly the guy he needs for his development. Dude comes alive with the ball in his hand. It will be critical to have a good QB throwing to him. 

It is just more fun now.

Well compared to the dental surgery-like experience that is watching Young try to play…. Anything is better.  
They know about Bryce now. The brass, the league, the world.

I couldn't watch the game in Spartanburg today. Most of the residents here still don't have power since the storm. I'm encouraged by what you guys have posted and the recaps on a couple of other sites

All we needed was competent QB play to keep us competitive. Had B.Young played like Dalton has these past 2 games he'd still have a job and most of us would be excited about his (and the Panthers) future.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
