With these scenarios we now know?

1. The defense would be worse than it was last year?

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

9. Our special teams is worse?

10. We are running a college offense?

We tried to use Tolbert on two very important 3rd down passes vs Atl and he dropped the ball. That's not a scheme or game plan issue. I thought that 4th and 1 was the right time to see what we had in Tolbert as well. In that case...he was not used.

Beason's form is surprising but he has an injury.

Not worse...

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

Technically he has 7 total TDs, 5 INTs

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

Tolbert has at least 1 15+ yard rec in 3 of 4 games. Not sure why people though he would get many touches here

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

Thought Tampa would be it but 1 division win isn't a shock in itself

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

Wouldn't of guess that

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

I wouldn't call that rock bottom, could be an early turning point if we continue moving in the direction we started the week after

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

Meh. Tony Dungy is a great leader. Only the team knows.

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

That shouldn't be a shocker, that was the realistic assumption

9. Our special teams is worse?

Not worse

10. We are running a college offense?

Anyone who watched last year should of known what we are

1 - Expected

3- Expected

6- Expected

7- Expected

8- Meh, I like Beason so I wouldn't expect that

I was optimistic, so I probably would have laughed in your face if you told me those things. That will be the last time I make the mistake of having hope in the offseason that the Panthers might be good the following year. The time for hope is over, it's time for results. Until wins occur I will just watch and enjoy, no more starry eyed imaginings of rings and titles. Just here and now.

At the very best, I figured we'd be 8-8. I was thinking more along the lines of 5-6 wins again. I knew we we would have problems when we didn't fix the pass rush/D-Line. Either we fix the back end of the defense with studs and have no pass rush or fix the pass rush.

I shook my head at all the people on this forum that thought we were going 10+ wins. It is not realistic with our talent or coaches.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
