Really hard being a Panthers fan today.

Our defense sucks but it’s also sucked in 2011. 

I was really worried before the game started that Jackson would be injured. Pride isn't really good enough, and I actually am surprised that Raiders didn't go deep a lot more.

I can't believe I actually betted on the panthers today, I broke my one rule. lost $200

I took the Raiders in my Huddle picks, but the last time I actually thought about betting money on the Panthers was the SB game against Denver. I thought about taking Denver because if the Panthers lost it would be nice to have something to take the sting off $$$$.

I’ll give you LV isn’t the best for the long threat team but maybe that’s because they couldn’t?

Yeah I saw. It's one of my biggest concerns for this season.

Didn't Alex make a one yard first down the previous quarter? So the call didn't come out of thin air.

It didn't come out of thin air, but when we lined up in that formation again, the Raiders (cannot seem to type Las Vegas) changed their alignment to better stop the fullback dive.

Should have faked the dive and flipped it out to CMC. Hindsight is 20/20. 

There will be adjustments. Called the game well for 95% of it.

I thought it wasn’t a bad day. Our offense scored 30 points, far more than I expected. If you thought a new coaching staff and defense with 35% of its starters as rookies was going to win its first game, you were very unrealistic. 

A lot of you guys just want to be miserable together.

I thought the play calling in the first half looked like Brady was focused on spreading the ball around. Maybe they were trying to save CMC for the second half and set the tone. But it seems like they made a mistake not getting CMC involved in the game earlier in the game. He played well at the end, and it was ridiculous they didn’t give him the ball with the game on the line.

To me, it was basically the same Panthers with new wrinkles. The Raiders are a bad team and I thought they should have won that game the way they played. Going to be a long season.

And that stings more seeing literally all the ex-Panthers do well today.

At some point, you have to move on. I hate it too but it just sets you up for unrealistic expectations and misery by box score-watching former Panthers on better teams. 

the Raiders are a better team than we are, so again, expecting a win was foolish. I have no hope of a win against anyone but Detroit, Washington and Chicago. We are rebuilding but we have a prolific offense and for the first time in decades, three WRs who can frustrate defenses and get open and make catches.

It’s only hard if you set expectations really high.  My expectations are always low so it does not bother me at all.

With our veteran QB I felt it was a 50/50 game, but that's just a gut feeling opinion not anything backed by fact or crunching numbers. I can see where you disagree and if you put it at 60/40 I wouldn't be surprised.

They have a vet QB too and and a vet coach with a year of work already done on his team.. We have a rookie coach and staff with little NFL experiences a bunch of rookie starters and new players with a abbreviated.  Offseason.. How did you come into the game thinking it was a 50/ 50?? The fact we didn't get blown out by a bad team is a good sign..

I say to myself   " its a process" ,  then I punch myself in the face.

We had the best and most explosive player on the field in CMC and I expected him to blow up. The Raiders had young receivers who were bound to make mistakes. Do I need to go into each and every detail? Let's not turn this into a time consuming argument.

Another garbage thread made by one of the resident idiots. 
 

This season is about seeing potential and growth. Teams like NE, Washington and Jax winning while we go through a season like this only helps us in the big picture.

Then again maybe you are stupid enough to have thought we were winning the super bowl this year
