This coaching staff better get their poo together or this season is going to get U-G-L-Y fast

Everyone knows that we have a very tough matchup against ATL this weekend. The week after that we have the Seahawks, who currently have 8(!) sacks in the first half against the Packers.

The two areas of most concern are defense (can't stop run, terrible gameplans, nonexistent adjustments) and the offensive line play.

It is sobering to watch Russel Wilson out there looking like a seasoned pro. I can only imagine what Cam would look like in a more classic offensive style (one with actual heavy set running plays). I'm starting to think Chud might have drank too much of his own kool-aid this offseason.

Anyway, I think it's totally possible we turn this around. We just played the #1 defensive line in the league and an elite QB that picked us apart. We won't see another line that great, but Seattle is looking really really really scary. The coaches better step up their f'ing games, or heads should be rolling before the season is over.

I guess some good news is that know the entire country thinks we suck butt, so maybe we can sneak up on some teams.

if this is going to be a bad season and we see no coaching improvements, i honestly hope it's like 4-12 which is a top 5 and gives JR a reason to clean house instead of linger around at like 6-10 or so again because he'd probably give them another year. there is absolutely no excuse for us finishing with a worse record than we did last year

    • With Freddie Slavin and Svech both playing at MVP levels, no one can touch us. Burns playing well.  Imagine if Jarvy and Aho get going…
    • Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.
    • In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.
