All the teams on our schedule that many thought we had no chance against are proving to be beatable. 

 

SF falls under the same category as we do.  Wins coming against inferior opponents.   However, both of their losses were huge nasty defeats.

New England and New Orleans if you pressure the QB they are VERY Beatable.

Jets away from home are average

Miami is reeling but they cannot be over looked.

Atl and TB gotta beat the teams you are supposed to beat.

 

Atlanta in week 17 is going to be crucial if we are 9-6.  They would love nothing more than to knock us out of the playoffs.

If we can go 5-3 with 2 loses that could easily be wins, no reason to believe we can't go 5-3 again.

We will be 10-6 at least.

Should be the #2 seed at 7-1 right now. Its kinda funny cause its like an investment that we made with the football gods. If we managed to win against baffalo by kicking a field goal and holding them on D, the straw would have never broken the Camel's back for Rivera. He might still be that over conservative guy with no balls.

Because we paid the price and lost, it gave way to many more wins in the long run. Here's to hoping we got the frustrating loses out of the way and done with this season.

I am with you.  I sat back pissed off at the world saying "Here We Fugging Go Again"

 

It was nice to see him realize he had the team to be aggressive with.  Win with your offense not your defense.

 

What is amazing is.  Our defense has always been pretty solid except that drive by Buffalo.

News flash, if we were 7-1 we'd be sitting at number one. Just assuming you are talking about wins against Seattle and Buffalo.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
