Some of y'all lambasted me for asking if it was time to lower expectations a little bit last week. How does another week make you feel?

Now before you get started all over again, let me say that I love the Panthers, and I am not giving up on the hope of a successful season. I am just in the process of doing some mental gymnastics in order to define what a successful season will be.

Before this pre-season, I really thought that we may have a chance to at least equal the record of last year, but now I am not so sure...not so sure. Actually I think that it may be delusional after seeing the defensive break downs over the last few games. I thought that our biggest question mark would be our run defense, now I am having maybe even a bigger question mark about the secondary. I am somewhat shocked that a normally solid Gamble is looking like a gamble in the backfield. As hard as it is for me to say this, I am reminiscing about the days of Ricky Manning Jr.

One thing is that we still haven't seen all of our defensive starters in action as a unit, and I really believe that we do have the capability on offense to put some serious points on the board (and, in a relatively short amount of time), provided that Fox doesn't go John Fox on us. I am encouraged to see the use of draw plays, passes to the backs and TEs as more than just an afterthought, and another prospect in Moore as a solid WR3.

Whatever happens, I am sitting back and getting ready for an interesting ride. As long as we don't end up below .500, and maybe even have a chance at the playoffs, I think that I'll be happy. We'll see.

      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.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
