Don't panic. This happens every year.

After a few hours of being pissed and saying irrational things on here, this loss sucks, but the season isn’t over. Even with Moore’s momentum killing fumbles, we were still in a place to win this game (should have). Things didn’t go right, look at Ganos missed extra point for another example. 

It’s not like they “killed us”. We were moving the ball and scoring points. The defense made some stops. I wish RR would make better personell decisions, like playing Samuel more. I also wish he’d try and score with two timeouts and 1:30 left in the half and go for it on that 4th and 1. That would have set the tone. 

Things do worry me:

pass rush..there is none. I don’t expect sacks every pass play, but I’d like more hits and hurries.

eric Washington (bc our dbs are consistently 5-7 yards off of WRs, having DEs in coverage multiple times, blitzing Keek way too much, when we do blitz there is nothing creative with them)

RR not playing Samuel and CJ Anderson

RR game management (although if it hasn’t changed now it never will)

Cam being our leading rusher...again

All in all, we will be ok.

Ehh, even the Pats have one or more TERRIBLE games per year...

Agreed. Great teams lay stinkers. Heck, great teams even win by last second fgs against bad teams. It happens. Pats don’t win by 30 every week.

And they’ve never won the super bowl. So by ur own logic they’re not winning it this year either......we all already knew that tho

We will beat Ravens, Falcons, Steelers (nothing special there). Saints will likely sweep us

Uhhh Atlanta is a damn good team this year.. so I think they will sweep us too.

7-9

The issue that I mainly have with this current era of Panthers football, is that when we lose we look bad. I would be happy losing games where I felt the Panthers played their best football, but lost. The other problem is that our offensive drives will look mediocre and struggle to move the ball, then all of a sudden we look like a completely different team. Perfect example was the last two drive of tonight's game, they moved the ball seamlessly, firing on all cylinders.

It frustrates me and I'm sure many others to no end, because we know the personnel, we know what this team is fully capable of but most the time they don't perform up to par.

7-9.  We may get lucky on 1 or 2 of the remaining games and end up 8-8 or 9-7, but I’m gonna stick with 7-9.

Sorry Jeremy, we are getting tired of the same ol same ol, year after year...we are not getting any younger!!

[emhoward]

The fact that we almost won while committing 3 turnovers and getting none oursleves tells me that we have a chance to be a playoff team.

That and the NFC being totally underwhelming outside of LA and NO...

[emhoward]

I mean think about some of the losses our competitors have had in the NFC. Minnesota loss to the Bills, Eagles and Saints loss to TB. It happens.

The offense has to step up. Right now they look like the same 2017 offense. They only play when they are losing late in the 3rd quarter. They are fixin to get stomped by New Orleans yet again. We have the weapons. I don't understand what they are waiting for. Also Curtis Samuel needs the damn ball.

[GoPanthers123]

We had one bad Quarter, that's it. We dug a deep hole in the 1st then won 2nd-4th Qtrs.

We still haven't had our headscratcher stinker game yet this season (aka Bears last season).

Redskins are a solid team, although with how many weapons they were missing today we should have done much better on defense.

Schedule is about to start getting much tougher, so we may know in a few weeks whether we have a chance at playoffs or whether to mail it in and play for a top 5 pick.
