Great to be 2-0 but here are Top 3 areas of concern

[DeeJay]

Once we are at 100 percent this defense is going to be scary good,

[IceWhiteice]

We would still struggle on O with KB-, remember  a lot of KB stats did come in garbage time. I think it is more of a coach/ playcalling is with the offense.

After a loss everyone has a right to bitch and complain... however ya celebrate every win in the NFL, because they don't come easy. 

Sounds like you have been soaking up the company line toward mediocrity.

Wins come to every team in the NFL. So, yeah they are pretty easy against a majority of the league. Anyone telling you differently is full of it. Every team has their superstar talent that has proven they can win at every level.

When was the last time you have known the worst NFL teams go win less? Never. Most teams will finish with 3 to 7 wins while royally screwing up all season long.

4+ game winning streaks during a season are hard to come by in the NFL. A team needs at least 2 of these to be a contender. That is what I will celebrate, because that is what leads to a champion. Until then, you are just celebrating mediocre moments toward a mediocre team.

I am not here to celebrate 7 or 8 wins in a season. I am here to celebrate the moments of a champion. Going 4-0 into the BYE, beating Seattle and/or Green Bay, and closing out the season with a 4+ game win streak that includes sweeping the Falcons are the moments I will celebrate. Then I will know this team is ready for the ultimate winning streak needed to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in the playoffs.

This team is no longer a scrub that you are thrilled when they do not give a game away at the end, or have finally put back to back wins together. It is time for the Panthers to show they are Champions, and that is all that should be celebrated by players, coaches, and fans. Celebrating anything less will just hold a team/fan base back.

As fans, the next 15 weeks you can celebrate mediocrity or strive to be a Champion. Next game; next win. Champions expect to win and settle for nothing less.

I agree with your assessment.

[pantherclaw]

Oh, cause we celebrate wins we aren't striving to be champions? 

 

That is some ignorant poo. The entire pile 9f it.

[top dawg]

When we start winning in January,  and ultimately February,  I will celebrate wins.  Until then,  it's next game up.  

There is no shame in trying to evaluate weaknesses and how to improve upon them. 

You do you,  and let others be themselves.  Indeed,  that's  what makes the world go 'round. 

[Panthro]

The only thing that bothers me is the Field Goal unit. 

[Snake]

I thought we had a pretty good pass rush going. Don't confuse no sacks, with a lack of pass rush. I would like to have seen a better push up the middle though. 

That's where we miss Star the most.

Can't tell if serious. Firstly, there have been a few teams that have gone winless. 11 to be exact in the history of the NFL. The last was the 0-16 Lions in 2008. As for celebrating wins and striving for a championship...you do realize that your specific fanhood has absolutely zero effect on the team right? Like actually no effect...whatsoever. You could be ecstatic or miserable after every game...hell after every play...and it would make no difference whatsoever to the team.

Your brand of fandom basically only affects you. So if you want to man up like you play for the team and keep your focus on the next game then you go right ahead. Enjoy yourself. Should probably get a jersey with your own name on the back too. Watch your film. Point out all the issues with the team to the rest of us and areas of concern with the next team up. Keep your focus and never take the next team likely because that's how you lose games you're supposed to win. Your dedication will show the rest of us exactly how great a fan you are and how the rest of us are just ignorant morons settling for mediocrity like we do in our real lives as well. But no you. No. You won't settle for anything less than excellence. Never get too high. Never get too low. On to New Orleans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or you could just enjoy the entertainment that you have no effect on whatsoever like the rest of us.

#1 Lack of Pass Rush
With the depleated O-line of the Texans losing their starting RT halfway through the game- I thought the dinner bell was gunna be ringing for our pass rushers. Instead, Kony Ealy really let us down in multiple spots this Sunday. CJ wasn't getting to the QB like you would have expected him too. Addison didn't repeat his DMVP performance like he did last week. I only noticed Short on the intentional grounding play. Overall, I was very inimpressed with our D-line- and I don't think inserting Star back into the lineup will be the fix-all for the group.

#2 Wide Receiver Drops/Ability to get open
Ginn had another drop and Cotchery (although he came back) was banged up in this game. Norwood, the sure-handed guy we all were told was going to be used much more, couldn't haul in a laser from Cam. Funchess grabbed a key 1st down when the offense was sputtering but all around our guys need to step it up. Cam's decision making was also a lil suspect on some key 3rd downs today too. Throw KB back on this team and we dominate these past 2 teams- hands down, no question. But it is what it is.

#3 O-line Depth/Injuries
When Trai went down I was holding my breath. That's the 2nd time in as many weeks. Hopefully we can hold them together with duct-tape and spit. They were amazing against a great D-line but I am just concerned with the jokers behind them. The waiver wire doesn't have any All-Pros just waiting to be signed either.

 

Agree/Disagree

Field goal unit is a bigger concern than any of those three imo.  That part of the special teams unit has looked horrible going back to Seattle.
