My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year. 

We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching.

We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue.

Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old. 

Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace.

If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons.

Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

We finally have a decent offensive game and now we're ready to outright say that offense isn't a huge issue? 30th in the NFL in average points per game begs to differ.

I think a lot of fans are overreacting to this game due to the expectation that we were likely going to get blown out. Let's see a few more like this before we start claiming problems have been solved.

I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and they need to be more consistent in scoring points.

I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo.

They have scored 20 or more in 6 out of 11 games and scored 30 or more in 2 out of 11 games played this year. And the season isn't over yet. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season .

I'd say that's a pretty decent improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.

Bryce, Canales, and the team in general are doing exactly what I hoped would happen this season: showing improvement as the year goes on. I knew wins would be sparse, but as long as the team improved and kept things competitive, I'd be happy. 

This was the first game in I don't know how long I was actually excited to watch as it came down to the wire. I didn't get hyped the past two weeks, this one was different.

They're showing improvement and that gives hope for the future, which is all you could ask for this season.

I'm not crowning anyone and I'm not proclaiming it's a surefire thing, but it's nice to see the team get a little better each week in different areas as the season goes on.

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
