This is his toy. He wants the credit for ‘turning things around’ and thus he won’t let go. Similar to San Fran 7 years ago. He really needs help but refuses and wants to meddle at the expense of fans.

Like I said, it’s his toy he doesn’t care. He’s finding ways to make money and putting in input when he shouldn’t because otherwise he wouldn’t be playing with his toy and certainly can’t reap the credit for success, which will never come. He connects the dots he just doesn’t care.

Failing means nothing to him, in his mind, there are more important things to worry about.

First game on the road against a division opponent with rookie QB and new coaching staff?  Sure winnable, but there are going to be kinks to work out. We’d be shutting them out if not for the turnovers. It’ll get cleaned up. 

Those aren’t the issues despite people pointing them out. It’s the conservative play trying not to lose. The Falcons suck. You can’t play like this against any average or above team. Could be that’s because our personnel sucks. No one to stretch the field.

But the defense also can’t stop the run. These are huge red flags that generally carry on through the season. Hopefully there are plans to keep building the team to compete in the modern NFL but this was always an issue for Reich so just going to have to see it unfold.

YouTube feed dropped after last commercial, took 10 minutes for me to get it back going……I missed the falcons td…

just replay any game from the past half decade…missed tackles on the outside followed confusion 

my entire gameplan vs the Panther would consist of screens and running off the tackle

they’re not even remotely worried about stretching the field

gee who woulda thunk it

TRADE YOUNG FIRE FIT TEPPER IS TRASH

Guess the panthers had their decent drive early already and are ready to fug up and do dumb poo.

He’s not a real GM. Not sure why that isn’t understood yet. But slim pickins when you’re hired in under Tepper and Rhule I’m sure.

Burns is pissed. Let’s hold off on paying him as long as possible lol

Nice to know Young falls on fumbles 

Don’t hate

I mean the title says it’ll be christmas…the defense has one pass rusher and no depth whatsoever, literally an injury away from being over…don’t get me started on the DBs

its not going to be Christmas is all I’m saying, it’ll be a grind

I suspect a very boring game. Falcons are going to Titans route to success. And honestly the Panthers have been quite bad at the run game for years. Low scoring game with winner playing best 4th qtr imo

They have nothing else to talk about. It’s the only football going on and they’re just commenting in media fashion. No one gives a poo about preseason except for evaluation purposes. They aren’t game planning to win.

There is no reason to take any of it seriously.

I think most are excited but hardcore fans have become more casual and casual fans have checked out and will probably check back in if the Panthers do well. There are a couple Cam fans left surprisingly but for the most part they have completely checked out…and tbh that was a large portion of fans, they are for sure not on the forum anymore.

Im fact I think a lot of fans while excited just do things out of routine or for the sake of nostalgia/memories. I use to go to most games but stopped when Tepper took over. He is by far the worst thing that has happened to this franchise.

I’m going to go to a game this year but due to schedule it will have to be a late season game. And I’m not spending $500+ if the Panthers look like crap.

I think most long term fans will always be fans but it’s a two way street. We can be disappointed at home much more comfortably than going to games and that’s what we have come to expect. 

For a while now there’s always been a reason to get excited at the beginning of every season but the result has been the same. Until otherwise, not sure what you’d expect differently.

I believe this whole heartedly we're going to run the ball like the Jonathan Taylor era in Indy. Bryce will make plays but we're definitely going to run run and run some more.  Sunday I estimate we could see close to 180 in rushing combined between the backs 120 for Miles and 60 for Hubbard. We haven't seen our top free agent addition in action yet and that leaves a lot of intrigue in the fan base. 

You’re probably right for this year but I hope to god that’s not the plan going forward. The NFL has moved on from that for a while now. It’ll win some close games but it won’t do much to beat the best at the end of the day generally speaking. I do think our oline will be much better in the run game. And we probably won’t be competing with the best for a couple seasons minimum anyways.

^Tennessee grass turf  could not be maintained well due to the climate if you read the article:

 

Nashville exists in a transition climate zone, which makes growing a consistent grass surface throughout the entire NFL season nearly impossible.

In more recent years, after player/coach concerns, an increase in injuries, and persistent issues with the undependable surface, the Titans amped up their research with data to determine the best, and safest, plan moving forward. Looking at statistics from the 2018-2021 NFL seasons, Nissan Stadium had higher lower extremity injuries than each of the monofilament synthetic turfs in the league.

They had more injuries with their grass turf...not less.

I read it. The transition zone also includes Charlotte. And other stadiums. Sorry, Not buying it.

It’s very expensive for sure, especially when you need to revamp things for controlled staging areas, or a half dome/retractable glass stadium cover, and even changing the type of grass depending on the season - but it’s not even close to ‘nearly impossible’ for the kind of money the league makes. Not even close. It’s just costly.

Article after article it is obviously just pushing an agenda since players are speaking out.

But the costs don’t outweigh profits simple as that. It should read:

‘determine the best, and safest, plan moving forward when considering costs to maintain a consistent grass field.’

Sounds like enough money was not put into maintain the grass. Surely no one is surprised by that.

The trade was for 24 and 25 first rounders. That means we would have zero pass rush until those replacements are drafted and have a season or two under their belt. That’s a long time to wait for that payoff.

Picks always look great until the picks turn into players.

Not if you have a competent FO. If we did lord knows we should be able to replace Burns’ production with two firsts and a second. Also if your pass rush turns to zero after one player goes down…well again…the issue is the competency of the FO.

Reddick is making 15m/year and just had 16 sacks. He is also mainly just a rusher. I know we didn’t have the deal for Burns at the time but it is what it is. Im just comparing production. Wish we held onto him.

I don’t mind resigning Burns but he isn’t a complete DE and even supporters of a new deal should be concerned with just how much he appears to be wanting. Especially considering for years now teams have ran the ball on the Panthers with ease, ranking below average (for years) in rushing yards allowed.

Again, I’m not completely against a new contract. We need Burns…albeit a little too much.

But at the same time I wouldn’t have been made for them to make that trade. The Panthers would’ve won that deal.

Some seem to be on either side of the fence but you can see it both ways. Which way ultimately would’ve been better is yet to be seen.

I heard about this really nice technology for football fields once; it's called grass.

Seriously. 

‘Titans amped up their research with data to determine the best, and safest, plan moving forward.’

What? No they didn’t. No research needed. It’s just grass.

Looking at statistics from the 2018-2021 NFL seasons, Nissan Stadium had higher lower extremity injuries than each of the monofilament synthetic turfs in the league.

Great. Now let’s compare to grass. Ah, don’t want to do that do we?

You notice just how much the article refers to ‘mimicking grass’? Why is that? Just get grass.

I’m sorry but this is a big pet peeve of mine. No one replaces real grass for turf because turf is better lol.

They do it for money. It’s all for the sake of money. That’s it. To fill a multi billion revenue industries’ pockets with MORE MONEY. Money over safety. I wish they would just say that. Can’t be as mad if they’re at least honest.

But we always get BS articles like this telling us something that comes close to grass is somehow the best…without explaining why, aside from cost, they don’t just do grass.

Some nasty, greedy ass mofos.

Can't help but think of Peppers.

We were in a fugged up situation in which I think the decision we made hurt the team.

Not sure what we should have done, but what we did hurt us.

We should have traded him for a shitload of picks.

He said he did not want to play here and egotistical business man JR thought he could convince him and at least buy him like a dumbass. So he was tagged.

The first half+ of games he played the year he was tagged he literally walked through plays. Until I think it was Thomas Davis who called him out big time.

Magically after that he became his usually monster player. Then after the season he just left. Zero compensation.

It was comical. This is how an egotistical owner, especially a hands on one, ruins a team. Tepper os even worse than JR, and I never thought I’d say that.

Wouldn't Browns pressures single handedly push your numbers higher.

Still doesn’t make it his job. Especially with the new defense. He needs to eat blockers, which is his job. That will allow his teammates to get pressure. Well teammate, Burns. 

If you think we are set on the dline to compete so be it, but I disagree and feel it relies too much on one player.

Brown and Houston say

 

 

ok but there were only seven teams with less sacks than the panthers in 2022

and only 3 teams had less pressures

…

Houston is an aging rotational rental and Brown, well it’s not really his job

like I said can’t have a rush based on a single player
