Is anyone here not waving the white flag?

A close loss is a loss.  We’ll see how Rhule looks against a rookie coach and roster pending demolition next week.  A loss to the Giants is the death nail.

And then the schedule actually gets tough lol

yeah I am somewhat happy without the team bounced back today, we had a new offense vs one of the best D's in the NFL. Next week is everything though, loose to the giants and ill be distraught. Its a week 1 L to an AFC team, means nothing in terms of tiebreakers.

Personally appreciate the fact that this team played a competitive game against a quality team. Normally this is the type of team that curb stomps the Panthers, particularly in the second half. Instead of looking for something else to do with my day by the third quarter, I got to watch a really good football game. Adjustments were made. Team fell short, but there's definitely hope.

Good game by the Panthers.  Ekwonu has to pay his dues, good to get the worst he'll see out of the way in week 1.  The Browns running game is the best the Panthers will see this year, but they couldn't run out the 4th quarter on the Panthers Defense.  The offense showed fortitude, shaking off early challenges and getting things moving, taking the lead with a minute and change left in the game.  McCaffrey looked good and heads into week 2 healthy.  In the end a blown call and a 58 yd fg lost this game, it happens in the NFL unfortunately.  There's a lot of positives to take away. The real test is how the Panthers play next week vs the Giants.  You can't let 1 tough loss turn into 2.  Hopefully the Panthers offense gets things going earlier.

On the season? Of course not the book is unwritten on Baker as of yet. But if anyone is still fully buying what Rhule is selling after seeing how poor the offense has been under his watch via multiple different quarterbacks and coordinators they are either mentally ill or must be related to the man.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
