I'm as critical as anyone, and our coach is still not a good coach and it will show up at some juncture.

 

But I just want to say this team is GOOD, and in the past when we started slow we were not good. We are sound on both sides of the ball... to dominating on defense.

 

Newton hasn't even played his best ball, and is off to a great start (6 TD, 2 INT).

 

We should be 3-0. I think we are going to have a shot to beat the next four opponents. We will be in these games. They'll be close... you have to hope Rivera stops taking his foot off the pedal... if he allows us to attack, attack, attack and not be afraid of losing agrressively then we will have a shot every week this season.

 

But trust me, this team is good. This isn't going to be a 7-9 or 6-10 like past years - I don't think. We can beat anyone on any given Sunday and the guys know it (Smitty saying we WILL make the playoffs, he's seen some good teams, knows what a playoff team looks like, plays like, and practices like).

 

Today; the way we won, not just that we won; was just confirmation that this is a different year... even if ultimately Rivera will hold our talent back.

No there isn't we lost both game before less than 7 same old poo. The Giants have some huge problems but we just beat them woo fuging hoo. We still suck and Rivera is not the right coach.

 

Agree, he's a loser. He'll eventually get fired for being inept.

 

But we have a legit shot to be 5-2 this year. And we in fact almost should be. In fact we should be 7-0 based on talent. Haven't been able to say that under rivera yet

at least 4-3, 5-2 would be nice but when it comes to games when luck is needed we usually do get it....Our special teams needs some work on punt coverage or something though....all those issues the first game and then today again.  I think our Def is starting to find themselves....that will pay huge dividends.....I've been saying it for awhile....we seem like one of the older bears teams....great def that either scores or puts in the OF in position to score short yardage plays...but we actually have  a QB and it seems our OC has finally realized some read option opens this playbook up a lot.....glad we have this early bye now...then off to AZ.....let get it to .500 and hopefully the saints lose a few on the way..KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

I can't believe this guy has the nerve to post this after his past statements and one just a few hours ago..

 

 

Aw look, you still have a hard on for me. I'm like so shocked that your worthless drivel is a negative parroting of one of my posts. I couldn't have guessed when I saw you responded to one of my posts that it would be some type of negative accusation.

I wish there was a "flying tomato" button over beside the "delicious pie" button for posts like this.

It isn't an accusation when you typed it yourself genius.

I've become skeptical of Rivera, but I'm going to say that on a positive note the team seems to believe in this staff. They know more about this staff than any fan and from what I see the players believe in him. Also, lets not forget that Gettleman himself said he was here to help improve everyone. I'm not so sure this team can't win 10 games this season and make the playoffs. Like some of you I'm not ready to hate on Rivera and push him out the door. As long as we win I don't care who the coach is. Yeah, it's early, but look at Harbaugh in SF, they don't look so damn good right now and everyone so wished he was our coach last year.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
