I think Sunday is definitely a must-win...

we HAVE to beat the Jags at home. If not, we could be 0-6 to start the year and no matter what Cam is doing he will be critisized for not being able to get that first win under his belt. I'm highly nervous, we can't afford to lose to Luke McCown, but without TD and Beason no wins will be easy. I think after another good week of practice we will improve even more and I would be very surprised if we didn't win. Anyone else still extremely nervous and have similar opinions though? I'm almost dreading it...

Yep. Season basically over if we lose.

Lots of "everyone believe!@" threads. Losses don't matter!!

Can't lose.

Screw that. Not if we're going 0-3, 0-4....0-5.

We're actually in do or die mode right now, because I do expect more losses to come, but the Jags are our best chance this Sunday. The perfect win to get some confidence.

No excuses for this game. We have what it takes to take them down. Like I said yesterday, it's up to the coaches to get this team ready by Sunday. That will be the difference maker.

Cam needs to go to sleep every night this week mumbling: 3rd and 1 with nowhere to throw, in 4th down territory....throw the ball away, throw the ball away, throw the ball away.

We had six red zone appearances against the Packers. I'm hoping that they are learning how to punch it into the endzone this week because our team struggles with a short field. Once they figure it out and work out the kinks...look out NFL because we are going to be explosive and defenses will dread playing us. Cam is the man, I've said so from day one but he also has a lot good weapons around him. Lafell has really helped out a lot more than I expected which is great. Smitty needs to kick it up a notch in my opinion. Too many dropped passes and that wonderful fumble that he had last week. You couldn't ask for a better group of tight ends that know how to play in this Chud offense. We just need to gel a little bit more, then we'll all be happy. Let's give them time. I'm already assuming that we aren't making a playoff appearance this year. The sooner everyone comes to grips with it, the better off we'll be.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
