It hurts to lose again

but this is a good thing. for the past 2 years, I have gone into each week knowing we would lose, but this year is different. we have a chance each week to win each game, and it is fantastic. we are young, we are hungry, and we aren't even playing at full strength, but god dammit, we are almost there...

the defense looked better yesterday, there were fewer mental mistakes all around, but still just enough to hurt us. tackling was piss poor, but the D-line did great and the coverage honestly wasn't bad at all, drew brees is a sniper and throws balls where they need to be pretty much every time. If we can get special teams to stop playing so "special" then we WILL win quite a few games this year.

I can't wait for the game next sunday.

Yup, to be playing this well against good teams this early in the process bodes very well for us.

If someone had told me heading into the season that we would play the Packers, Bears and Saints right down to the wire, I would have been ecstatic.

I really think we are last year's lions. so close so many times, but gradually improving. next year we will be dangerous.

If anyone expected this team to be a playoff contender this season, you should lay down the crack pipe. What has happened: The Panthers have found a franchise QB to build the offense around. David Gettis returns next season giving Cam another deep threat. Rivera will most likely address the defensive needs in the draft. So far this year has far exceeded my expectations.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
