This team is dangerous.

I don't know when, but this team is going to be very good. We're already extremely dangerous... We just need consistency.

I saw glimpses of our defense standing up and saying "not this time." I also saw coverage breakdowns and gaping holes, but we saw glimpses of what could, in the future, be a dominant defense. Even though we gave up huge plays again, I think this was overall a better defensive effort given the 4 turnovers.

Our offense... man... if that running game gets on track, this team is going to just flat out roll some teams over. Chud's short yardage stuff is strange, but I like that he isn't afraid of leaning on the passing game when it's working.... but I think he(Chud) needs to trust his backs more. Cam made mistakes, but he shows repeated glimpses of greatness, sometimes on the same damn drive. This kid is for real - if he keeps working at it, the sky is the limit for this offense.

Right now, mistakes are leading to big plays and killing us. But they are fixable mistakes, and they are areas I think we can address.

During the preseason I expected four wins. I don't know how we'll do, but this team is miles further along than I expected. We are going to be in literally every game and we will give every opponent a run for their money.

We're close, just need more exeprience and losing games like this is only going to make us better.

Agreed. I'll go on and admit in the game thread I raged for no apparent reason, but this team is lightyears ahead of what I thought it would be after that Cincinnati game.

6-8 wins is definitely out there.

Should be a W next week.

[Munkey]

Good post, I agree with it all. I really expected our defense to be way worse today. Things are looking up, we could have had this game, but it's growing pains right now. We'll pull it together!

[SOJA]

I love chud

Packer fan here

Cam ROCKS!

You guys will win alot of games this year. He is for real and you have your franchise QB! good luck and see you in the playoffs. yes i said it. 0-2 doesnt matter. He is that good. And so is your defense

[Zaximus]

We HAVE to get that running game going. Chud gives up way too early on it. I don't know why we even used money on DWill if this is how we are going, I'd have rather spent it on a DT or something else honestly.

If you can get Dwill/Stew running, it's going to be almost impossible to contain Cam.

Defense stepped it up today, they surprised me, give them some time.

[TheRealDeal]

This team will be competitive in every game they play, probably winning a few.

[TheOracle]

This team SHOULD BE 2-0.

Corrected.

Whether they were "supposed to be" is irrelevant. They gave away these two games.

[rico6]

Agreed, Hurney misfired on giving D-lo that fat contract if the offense is not even going to be 30% running game centered.

[GritsRgreat]

Greatest 0-2 team in the history of sports!!

am i doing it right?

[PackFan_34]

Impressive guys. I did not think it was going to be such a game like it was. Cam coming out of college I thought would be another Vince Young but obviously he's the real deal. This is going to be one of those teams this year you need to worry about, better than the record shows. Great game guys, all the best for the rest of the season.

[Pantherman]

Good game I agree there. We just still have some holes to fill in the offseason. Like a legit number2 WR. The oline needs some help on right side. The D needs a solid number 2 CB and a vet DT. Panthers can win about 6-8 games this season. But most these games will be close or in reach until they learn to finish out game. Missing otah and beason might have been a big minus for us. Who knows right now. But the panthers does have a team here right now and for years to come. They just need a few more key players on both sides of the ball to help out.
