TEams that can't afford to go 0-2!


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

This is from week 1 last year.

Sound familiar??

Carolina Panthers (at 1-0 Atlanta Falcons):

Jake Delhomme's second meltdown in as many games that count (the other being last January's playoff loss to Arizona) has the Panthers reeling. He will remain their starting quarterback, but his five turnovers (four interceptions and a fumble) against the Philadelphia Eagles have prompted fans to call for him to be replaced. The Panthers signed A.J. Feeley to replace injured Josh McCown, and perhaps he wouldn't do any worse. However, their problems go beyond quarterback. They often had no answers for the Eagles' aggressive blitzing. And things won't get a whole lot easier against the Falcons, who were able to generate a great deal of pressure on Chad Pennington last week and force the Miami Dolphins' quarterback into uncharacteristic mistakes. For the sake of John Fox's job security and the Panthers' survival in the ultra-tough NFC South, the Panthers need a win.

:ciappa:

Also around 14% of teams that go 0-2 make the playoffs.

Assuming all the crappy looking teams stay crappy and the beastly teams keep beastin' I think we could get to 11-5 alright.

For the sake of this argument we are a beastly team that looked crappy. Don't you dare find fault with that logic or you're ghey.

I usually agree with everything you say, but not a chance in you know where, will we go 11-5 this year. Lack of commitment to the running game, the horrific passing game that was in week 1. And the Captain getting his butt whooped by Hakeem Nicks all game was probably enough to get him benched. Why wasnt Gamble or Marshall on him? Is one of them hurt?

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
