I realize that football season is among us, and we're all excited, but can't we wait until at least the third pre-season game before we start making rash judgments about the team, specific players and coaching?

It's too early to be hot and bothered, people. This is what pre-season is all about, and especially the first game.

I saw plenty of intensity last night. I did see some missed tackles which is easy to address and some missed assignments which is to be expected in a newish defense during the first live practice against outside competition.

We were down a few weapons on both sides, some people were playing a little out of position along the d-line, and the game does not matter anyway.

Bad throws are always going to be a part of our offense.

My point is is that when we come out like gangbusters against the Dolphins, then the world will be full of roses.

Furthermore, that Giants game was just a wetting of the feet. We will have a more accurate gauge when the Panthers face Miami, Baltimore and Blitzburgh, all teams that in theory are dedicated to the run just as much as the Giants.

Not to mention testing our offense vs their defenses.

Weren't the Giants just getting their feet wet too? The Pittsburgh game will be the least indicator where we are at, our starters will only play one series, if that. It will be more an indicator who makes the team and of our depth.

Regardless, their D-line seemed overwhelming on pass plays, and it took a few great plays by D-Will and Goodson not to take losses.

What we saw is what we've seen for the last several years. A good running offense, a predictable passing offense, a soft D that gets a team in to 3rd and long and then gives up long + 3 (how many times did you count our 'lock down corner' reaching out in desperation as his man catches a long pass and then running for another 10yds?), mediocre return game and great punting. That's Panther football. Good for middle of the road every year...

So I guess that 12-4 and tied for the best record in the NFC is your idea of "Middle of the road".

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
