So what in the hell do I think of this team?

I was at the game, I saw that beautiful sight. I had forgotten that feeling. But how should I take it? Was that ass whooping we laid on Eli what we are capable of? Are the giants terrible? Did the football gods hear our screams? wtf? Yes we should of won the last two games but how many times have we said that? It usually just doesn't happen. Im sure some of you will take this as complaining but when you're so used to Sundays being a day of heart break and you witness what looks like a team that can do no wrong ( - that int) it's kind of just unbelievable. Oh I'm thrilled with that win. It brings hope back. I just hope it's not false hope. But... Good grief it was awesome to watch

Keep Pounding, bitches

here's how i feel about this team after yesterday's massacre of the giants.

 

i now know what they are capable of this season.

 

there is no excuse for them not playing/coaching that aggressively from start to finish this year.

 

they have officially raised the bar of expectation.

 

like i said elsewhere, i don't expect a 38-0 win every week, but i do expect that type of non-stop, no tapping the brake, full on aggression going forward.

 

if they don't live up to that...if they start tapping the brakes...rivera needs to be gone.

 

this is the type of performance they have to have every week if they are going to win.

It was said elsewhere on this board, but I really believe when we went for it on 4th and 1 on their 2 yard line on our first scoring play something clicked.  Rivera bucked up and didn't simply kick a field goal.  The mentality of the team changed then and there.  Was it just for that game?  That remains to be seen.

They're a very flawed team that went against one even more flawed.

There was a weird snow ball effect but if not for a holding call and a cam pass slipping through a wormhole in a defenders chest and Ito Steve smiths hands it would have been 7-14.

They have the talent like we thought

They have th guts and killer instinct that we hoped

They need to maintain focus and be led.

That is all.

I'm expecting Cam to do this. He looked like hot garbage yesterday till he got his mojo by going to the ground game and making plays. This is where he will flourish. Adjusting to what the d gives him and having the intelligence to recognize it and exploit it.

I count on Rivera to give him free reign to find his groove each week and not allow Shula to put him in a little box.

I don't think it's much to ask. Given that, I like our chances to beat the shat outta some people with what season remains.

I really like the aggressiveness. It also seemed like they let Cam just play. He looked more natural out there. But again it could also be that the Giants are just garbage, but I really cant see that offense of theirs being too bad with those play makers. Anyway, im once again pumped for the next game. 

 

And trust me nobody... wants to be that guy.

This means nothing, we beat a irrelevant team and we have already been doing so for years. Rivera needs to do a lot more, he needs a positive record and needs to maintain it. He also needs to beat the Saints who are coming back pretty strong. The front seven will not always play such crap offensive lines. We were 7-9, we have won games before...just not while it still mattered.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
