OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

[rah53]

A very poor performance from everyone, from the play calling of both coaches to the players execution.

[Dragoon11]

Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

Kinda shocked you could..... did you have to sell them at an 80% discount?

[Shocker]

This leadership team isn’t making us better fast enough.  Seem like rerun every season.

Last season but same. 

looking at how this team is structured, how many elements of it going into today were they just like….hopeful…on? I don’t mean a dropped pass or hold or whatever. I mean entire position groups. What was the plan? They hat to have seen this in the preseason and reviewing tape last season. Were they hoping for just like a golden retriever to join the team the last second? Unbelievable.

So then why again can't we switch back to the 4-3? Because our shitty players are going to be shitty in a different scheme?

I just said it would be painful and take a while. didn't say not to do it or that it was a good or bad idea necessarily

Like you said, coaching. Well I'm my world that's a huge problem. You know how many times Bryce let the clock get down to 0 and it just wasn't called. Many of the times it was to protect a 17 point deficit. First time I've said this but Canales is trash!

Thats not what happened. 

someone from the secondary (not sure who, missed that replay) dropped down because Bryce was blitzed from his left. Bryce saw XL crossing but didn’t see that defender was already there to stop him from scrambling. It was an absolutely textbook zone blitz. 

they showed one camera angle where that ball was DIRECTLY to the DB. Defense has a right to the ball to. 

That was an inexcusable throw from Bryce 

I don't disagree it was a throw that Byrce should not have thrown, but I did see the DB knock Leggett out of the way to get an opportunity at it. Should have been thrown away.
