We need to adapt the Cignetti method in drafting. PRODUCTION over POTENTIAL. Nobody loves a good project more than the Carolina Panthers! We should never draft a "project" before the 5th round or unless we already have productive talent at the position and can give them time to (hopefully) develop. All we can do is hope that Morgan and Co. have learned their lesson on that from the 1st draft and see what happens this year.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree about next years schedule. I did when I first looked at it, but I've changed my mind. The Pats and Jags are the #2,3 seed and 13+ win teams...who said that going into the season?! I would much rather play the NFC North than the West again. Seattle, LA, SF, Buffalo, NE, Jacksonville...we played 6 teams that I wouldn't be shocked to see in the Superbowl. And yeah, we got our ass kicked in 5 of those games. I'm hopeful next year we can split games like that and not lose to the Saints twice.

I like that energy. I definitely think he's a little Scooby Doo overboard positive dopey in the pressers but behind closed doors I do think it's different. I know we all want to have the #1 HC, OC and DC every year but I do think we can win consistently with Canales.

The only teams I don't want to see win it are the 49ers Eagles or Bears.

I know we look at a few plays here and there but this Rams unit put up more pts against Seattle's elite defense. I think getting rid of Evero will be something we regret doing...we are just devoid of talent across the defense after investing YEARS in our offense.

No way Styles is around at 19. I'm afraid he might be a division rival for years to come

I feel the exact same about Bryce as I did at the end of last year.

I'm usually Mr. Pessimistic but I can't help but feel optimistic going into next year.

This board was split between us either cracking .500 at 9, maybe 10 wins or winning 5 games. Wind it back, and this was a "good" season. We played our asses off against a team everyone has been glazing as a SB team all year and lost it in the last minute. We showed multiple times this year that we CAN play with and beat the best teams in the league. Next season, the bar is higher. The playoffs are the expectation, that's the floor. This is my take on the year. We've done enough growing now, time to be grown.

Yeah idk I'd rather see us just send it and clearly be playing to end the game ourselves, even if they torched us on it. This was a classic Panther defensive ending...after the first 2 WIDE OPEN throws I knew exactly what was going to happen, we've seen it for over a decade. Excellent game but it makes me sick we went out that way.

I'm from Illinois and my entire family are Bears fans so it's nice to see them win. Still don't think they have a real chance at beating someone like the Seahawks. They better hope the eagles win and the Rams can knock the Seahawks out

Thankfully, we are done with that trade at this point.

Well this certainly turned into a ball game

We need a Loveland so, so bad.

Bears aren't getting their typical insanely lucky breaks this game.

Still think we absolutely have to bring talent into the QB room. It's just a good organizational move. But, Bryce was gonna be the starter next year regardless of an absolute implosion or injury. I'm not sold on anything as far as an extension goes but I have faith in this team going into the off-season.

Bears are not as good as their record. They have had a LOT of lucky breaks this year. Not surprised to see this happening.

I choose to believe this game will propel us into next season and we will be better from it.

The prevent makes me sick. It's just asking the other team to win it for us instead of trying to take it ourselves. Our guys have shown they can do it when we give them the opportunity

Fun to speculate at this point but I'm curious how letting this playoff win barely slip away impacts us going into next season. I'm not upset about losing that game, even though we had it in our hands. I'm hoping this game gets the guys that are gonna be here long term to take the next step in becoming great.

Absolute bummer ending to one hell of a game

Made it so easy. Damn boys

It ain't over bro!

Come on D give us 1 more chance

Frick dude. What a terrible series there. Got jacked when I saw the 1 on 1 with Coker. Come on D!!!!
