San Fran is not a bad team. They had the Falcons beat until Nate Clements fumbled an INT return when he should have taken a knee and the game would have been over. They have been done in by poor late game execution and bad coaching (Singletary is not ready to be an NFL coach).

Keep in mind probably the only reason we won was because David Carr was under center.

Every game on every Sunday has a situation like that, where something is out of the oridinary. You can't say that's the ONLY reason we won. For all we know next Sunday, Sam Bradford could have a bad day, or their defense or we could just play even better. Or we might suck.

There is no ideal, consistent game week after week. That was one of the inconsistencies. We could also say the only reason we didn't BLOW OUT the 49'ers is because our run game has yet to take off. I mean there is like a million combinations. Every week, a win is attributed to multiple factors for or against a team. That was one of them that worked out in our favor.

In the end, when all is said and done, we played good enough to win. In the end that's what matters.

You could also look at it from this perspective - we passed up a sure 3 by going for it on 4th down (The Gettis miss), then held them to get the ball back and score the tieing TD (which would have been a go ahead score if we had kicked the 3 earlier).

you can go crazy with all the what ifs and maybe's.

This is not the BCS, a win by 3, 30 or 1, all count the same - I am more happy for an interesting game to watch for a change. I'm happy we won, but more happy that we didn't roll over and mail it in.

David Carr being just prevented them from passing for a single first down for almost an entire half.

Yeah, stuff like that happens all the time.

Bottom line, our defense looked meh, and our offense looked like it is improving but is still very much meh.

Great we won, but we're not yet to the competitive level. Complain about the truth if you want, but the same people on here that are getting pumped about this win are the same one's that will cry in utter disbelief when most of the rest of our schedule shows how pathetic our offense really is.

How much football do you watch? It happens each and EVERY week we've had our backup play along with about 15 other teams it happens. No one cares if your backup is good enough to complete passes ask any cowgirls fans. Or steelers or Lions down to there third string or arizona or bears etc. Thats an exscuse no one cares who is playing qb the are paid to do their job like everyone else. poo they werent saying oh we beat the panthers and Jimmy C because he couldnt move the ball it was simply we beat the Panthers end of story.

The rest of our schedule is actually against lessers defenses than we have seen? What are you talking about the only defensive test are B.more and Pitt. wow the mighty ATL d or the rams what about NO who Jimmy could have beat or Az man please it gets easier for our offense not harder. Oh yeah the browns 24th in the league our O may have been pathetic but we are on track might not be fixed but we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were and with a few weak defenses the next few weeks we should be good to go.

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
