Marc Sessler of NFL.com predicts Panthers will bounce back this week

It's starts on defense, where Carolina's front seven has outstanding talent. Rookie nose tackle Star Lotulelei already is dominating offensive linemen and makes for an overpowering duo with fellow tackle Kawann Short. Luke Kuechly might be the best middle linebacker in the NFL. There's an excess of talent to build on here.

The Panthers were nipped by the Seahawks 12-7 in Week 1 and lost to the Bills in Week 2 on a fevered, game-winning drive led by rookie quarterback EJ Manuel. It's a tough way to start the season, but the blame falls on the offense. I posited Wednesday that if coordinator Mike Shula was to be replaced by someone with even an ounce of appreciation for moving the ball creatively, we'd be staring at a different team.

We all feel as though this team can and should win more often than it does.  I know others have made their feelings on how or why we are this or that but I truly see the talent on this team being hindered by a coaching staff that doesn't know what to do or how to put it together.  This all then fall back to the players who sense this kind of thing and look at each other like who the hell is running this thing anyway? 

 

The Panthers are a talented team more so than our record has shown.  Rivera is clueless on how to run an entire team, Shula doesn't know how to use the weapons he actually has and there are a few spots on the team that are woefully undermanned.

 

I firmly believe that this is all stemming from a philosophical ignorance.  No identity, No chemistry, No leadership from coaches.  Everyone is too busy looking over their shoulders for the ax man rather than focusing on how to best utilize what we have and start winning.

 

Cam cannot be used the way he has in these first 2 games its complete lunacy to take away everything hes good at and make him focus on the areas that have proven a bit too difficult at this stage.  He needs less decision making, more improvisation, quick reads, and a better right tackle. 

 

This defense should be forever attacking forcing turnovers and giving up the occasional big play as most opportunistic defenses do from time to time.

 

All in all these are problems that can be masked, alleviated, fixed or whatever.  Its just a shame we have to do this kind of crap during the season.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
