25% of the way thru the season. What has changed for you?

[JawnyBlaze]

Changed from my opinion before the games started? Not much except the defense. The last two games they really played well, and I figured they were so young overall it would take more time. We’ll see if they’re legit or a product of playing the Chargers and Cardinals.

My expectations for the season did not include talking smack to opposing team fans.  

Today, I was there, talking virtual smack to a Cardinal fan I know in AZ. 

Thank you Panthers!

There is hope for the playoffs with 7 spots, I can't believe I'm saying this but we are more than capable of winning 3 of our next 4.

We aren't getting trevor

I thought the offense would struggle at first as they work in a new coordinator/new qb, and they did to an extent.  They seem to have worked out some of the kinks today.  

 

I thought the defense would improve as the year went by, but not this quickly.  Our run defense looked the best today it has since 2018.  We actually held the opposing teams running backs to a subpar day.   Hopefully its real improvement, and not just a function of the teams we have played.

Knew the offense would improve with Brady calling plays, they haven’t disappointed so far. 
 

Thought the D would be abysmal, historically bad but they’re actually showing signs of being really good.

Thought we would be in the running for Trevor Lawrence but there’s too many bad teams.

Teddy has been a pleasant surprise. He’s had one rough game against the best defense we faced, but otherwise, he’s been pretty damn good. His willingness to run is definitely a nice surprise, too. 

Robby Anderson and DJ Moore are the best 1-2 punch we’ve had at wide receiver since 2003. 

Joe Brady’s experience with Teddy and Teddy’s off-season training with Anderson have really helped. 

The OL nutted up today and kicked ass. 

After two weeks of being a sieve, the defense has found its momentum. Burns is becoming an excellent pass rusher, Brown clogs the middle and Chinn is a tackling machine. Jackson is deadly if he gets a break on the ball and while they’ve had their bad patches, Shaq and Boston (particularly Shaq) have also made big plays. 

[Carl Spackler]

Oh and CMC has been better at scoring touchdowns inside the 10. We really have been opening up lanes for him and Davis and they’ve made the best of them.
