If you're not proud of this team after that performance...

Then take your ass on somewhere else.

All week half this board was saying they wished the Saints had won so we wouldn't get embarrassed on national TV in the playoffs.

Yes, we lost. But this team and us as fans have NOTHING to be embarrassed about after that showing.

Keep Pounding, motherfuger!

In our defense we have been playing like trash at the end of the season. Just win/loss/win/loss all season. They played great and I will eat crow. I just want to see this intensity and grit translate into next season on a consistent basis!

I'm left scratching my head to be honest with the coaching. In that situation I think you have to go aggressive on defense. Press or at least tighten up coverage so you are actually in front of the first down markers. Blitz more. It forces the issue. We either get our stop or they score quicker and then we have more time than 30 seconds to get a field goal. The way we played it we effectively took ourselves out of the game, I don't get it. It's like the coaches literally didn't understand their situation. We played the softest zones and let them pick up 10-15 yards at a time, literally just let them. That allows them to march up field in increments and burn time. I don't get it.

We need another positive offseason. We’ve just been losing in the offseason for nearly a decade… that begins to change and we will have more success.

Fuggin preach brotha. 

We literally chose the WORST option we could have. You play aggressive AF there and either a turnover happens, or they score a quick TD, which is EXACTLY what you want. We have 3 fuggin timeouts and all the time left in the world, if there was EVER a time to play aggressive with no worries, it was then.

After literally 8 years of miserable football, We just watched the Panthers play a hell of a game in the playoffs. From where we were 2 years ago after firing Reich and finishing 2-15 with Bryce looking like a bust, we’ve come a LONG way. We should all be VERY proud of this team and the future is very bright.

Needed one more play. They got it a few weeks ago, made the play to win it. And just couldn't or wouldn't this time. This one will sting for a while. They have to be a much better team next year. That schedule is brutal.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
