Bryce got a series and on 3rd down of that series he checked the first read and immediately hit the check down. Which had two defenders on it already. Because Bryce does this every fuging snap

For real man, I don't get it. He knew he might only get that one drive and they're getting blown out. Why the f*ck aren't they trying to throw a bomb?

There are so many problems with this franchise right now it might be better if they just delete the team and start over with an entirely new organization, name, and owner.

correcting my OP.  Last 3 weeks, we are now trending worse than the Frank/Bryce offense of 2023. 

The fact we have no defense, should make it a walk in the park for Canales to outshine it with the most expensive OL in the NFL. 

Dalton averaging 150 pass per game (below the Bryce 2023 season suck line)

O averaging 12 pts per game (below the Bryce line)

TD to INT ratio (worse than the Bryce line)

and we have been worse than the Bryce line of horrific....while playing 3 weak/bad teams.

It’s an unreal opportunity to make money. The Panthers will maybe win one more game which will be enough to keep them from having -21 spreads

Oh, I don't disagree.  I have been telling folks for some time....the bottom isn't here yet.  It can get worse.

At one point we had 15 rushes and 12 passes. It's simply not true.

The roster is atrocious. Idk what people expect from Canales rn.

The last three weeks we have lost two players off of our revamped o-line. AT being out matters, because they are having to push Coker at the slot because Mingo is a bust. The next three difference makers behind Brown and Horn on defense have been hurt, one for the season. As mentioned in the post above, what do you expect Canales to do? Players are still being schemed open and there is still a lot of meat being left on the bone in explosive plays due to the personnel. Take the Sanders play yesterday on the naked play action boot. He tripped on the turf and fell when he had a blocker in front with a whole side line of green grass. Chuba got tackled for a one yard gain on a zone scheme where the line caved down the entire Washington dline and all he had to do was make a cut back for a wide open foot race. If Miles gets his head around on the screen, maybe we get 7 or at least 3 out of the first march straight down the field. Diontae and Dalton got their signals crossed on the next possession on an easy rhythm passing play. I am with you, he doesn't get a complete pass, there are growing pains, but the offense has not been figured out, they just will need to gain continuity, and continue to add playmakers as well as let these kids grow up in the system.

I was somewhat optimistic coming into the season but things are looking pretty dire now. The schedule before the bye week was supposed to be the softer portion, now we're going into Denver against a great defense and a HC who'll be looking to embarrass the fug out of Tepper. Realistically looking at a 1-16 season if they can't get a win against the banged up Saints at home or vs the Giants in Munich. 

Post bye-week schedule: KC, TB, at PHI, DAL, AZ, at TB, at ATL...that's 1-6 at best and more likely 0-7.

Agreed.  He’s preached a commitment to the run and has literally abandoned it every week.

Thats inexcusable.

The running game is hit and miss. It's not winning consistently. It was all TEs and RBs that couldn't win in the flats, off the edges, or between the tackles.

Wide receivers were targeted 7 times in the game for 4 touches. 

Panthers had 8 drives to work with in the game, and the game was 0-27 at halftime. The Panthers only had 2 drives in the 2nd half, and the TD drive was anchored by a 3rd down 29 yard pass by Dalton.

1st drive ended because Hubbard got 1 yard on 2nd down to set up 3rd & long. Then Miles Sanders got lost and couldn't execute a quick release dump off screen.

2nd drive started off with Hubbard losing on 1st down. Dalton set up the 3rd and short. Johnson was turned by DB and no call.

3rd drive was a 1st down pass by Dalton followed by Johnson giving up on his route to a physical DB for the INT.

4th drive was Hubbard losing on 2nd and 6 and Nijman giving up the sack on 3rd down.

5th drive was 4 straight running downs of Hubbard, Hubbard, Miles Sanders, Hubbard. Turnover on downs.

6th drive was Hubbard setting up a 3rd and very long with a -2 yard run followed by a 0 yard run.

Then, end of half 0-27. Game over with this defense.

Notice how the failing element on 5 of the 6 drives are the RBs?

This game was definitely a commitment to RBs and TEs. The RBs didn't win. Hubbard had 12 touches in the first half and lost on 7 of them. Miles Sanders was given 3 opportunities and lost on 2 of them.

8 of 15 by the RBs for 2 turnovers and 2 conversions.

7 of 11 by the QB for 1 turnover and 4 conversions.

3 punts (WR drop, OL sack, RB 3rd & 12)

Hubbard converted once on 46% of the offense's opportunities. Dalton was 40% of the offense and doubled the RBs production. Brian Robinson converted 5 times in the first half for a RB comparison.

The game was lost on garbage defense and ineffective RBs behind one of the strongest run blocking OLs in the league. Let's stop claiming there is no commitment to the run. Dalton has been bailing the RBs and pass blocking out for 5 games.

Hubbard will never be a complete back. He is not good enough to be a power back or a 3rd down back. He's a limited change of pace RB at best who can't carry a game, and he's struggling to be consistent behind this good run game OL. Limited and flashy won't get it done in this league.

There is a commitment to the run. You're not seeing it because the defense is allowing everyone to score and the running game can't win consistently. The running game is equivalent to a 40% passing QB who turns over the ball, but makes a highlight play 1 or 2 times every drive that doesn't result in 2 or more scores a game.

    • If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.    
    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
