Some folks just like to lick boots but they all eventually join the fracas if things get bad enough. Overall I understand your sentiment. But I wouldn't allow yourself to get this emotionally invested in it this year. Take it week by week. Call it like you see it results wise. Try to have some fun because I do think as the regular season progresses the offense will grow with Bryce and Thomas Brown as the coordinator.

If you want to be peeved over the OL woes, by all means, it's an issue. The one area that we thought was safe and secure has looked awful thus far. Campen not being a new coach and most of the OL intact only makes it stand out more.

Outside of that, I'm not concerned. 90% new staff, several veteran coaches combined with young, aspiring coaches, a completely overhauled starting offensive personnel group, transitioning from a 43 to a 34 base, lots of new faces on both sides of the ball and a rookie QB at the helm. 

Yes, we've looked bad through two games, but there needs to be a bit more patience. Especially when a veteran HC says they've purposely run a stripped down version of their gameplan so far. 

Nothing wrong with being concerned, but some folks need to step off the ledge. I also think some fans thought we were going to walk out there and win the NFCS without any adversity or challenges early on. Manage expectations folks. 

Rome wasn't built in a day and we overturned the dumpster fire that Rhule left behind quite a bit so far. It's going to take at least another offseason to wash that stink off, get Bryce the weapons and protection he needs and give Burns and Brown some support up front.

Just now, GOAT said:

stop categorizing the season. 

"ITS JUST PREASEASON"

"IT'S JUST WEEK ONE"

"IT'S ONLY WEEK 2"

"IT'S ONLY WEEK 3"

"IT'S ONLY OUR 28TH SEASON"

be better.

It is just preseason.

And it will be just Week 1.

I've mentioned it a couple of times already. You won't get an accurate sense of what the team truly is until around midseason. If you doubt that, just look back to a couple of years ago when we started 4-0 when were talking playoffs.

Every single season there are teams who start off looking bad but finish strong and other teams who start strong but fade. This year will be no exception. If you can't see that, or can't handle it I can't help you.

My only hope is that we fall into the first category, but I'm not putting any lofty expectations on anyone given the circumstances.

Talk to me next year...

Let me guess, you also settle for mediocracy in ever other facet of your life too?

Reasonable take.  This year was all about progression.  Having unreal expectations and then bitching about it is completely on you.  A satisfactory year in 2023 is not about wins and losses its about implementing and improving on defensive and offensive schemes and improvement by our young players

New year, new decade, new century, new excuses. We're just fed up with it.

THIS!

 

I don't care what people think just don't tell others they need to temper their expectations of the team. Some of us are just tired of the same ole Panthers bullshit every year.

 

Tepper is the head of the snake imo.
