something no one has mentioned outside of the two INTs is that the ball bounced the falcons way on three separate fumbles, once resulted in a TO from Sanders and two they self recovered. 

 

I think if Horn doesn't get hurt that's a one score game. 

We get two out of those three fumbles and it's maybe a Panthers win. 

Score truly looks worse than how close that game was. 

WR will be a focus this offseason to upgrade.

The last time a starting rookie QB won his 1st game was in 2002. No DJ Chark, a hobbled Theilen and probably Marshall. Horn goes out. It wasn't that bad. 3 TO's hurt. The O-line did better. 1st game for Sanders. It's gonna take time. There were some positives. But it looked like a rookie playing in a new system with new coaches and a lot of new faces. 

Everyone knows this. Everyone knows all of this.

What you see is a reaction equal and opposite to the infinite optimism that existed over the summer. I was banned for saying Bryce would probably struggle and that I didn't like the pick, mostly due to the team building aspect. I was called "negative" and that it wasn't needed.

I was chided for saying that our 3-4 defense would take time since we lacked depth and the appropriate personnel. 

We just lost to a divisional opponent by two touchdowns and they threw for 95 yards. They threw for less than 100 yards and we lost. This after this forum decided that Wilks and his offensive preference was too old school because you have to pass to win now. 

What most of you all don't get is that we ran a power run game last year because we had to in order to win. We couldn't throw 40 times a game and win. We couldn't line up in shotgun 65% of the time and win. We needed to run a traditional offensive look and pass off of play-action to protect the offensive line, the quarterback, and to help the receivers. We would be wise to go back to that approach because what I saw today isn't going to win many games.

It may hjave been one game, but there was enough there to see that we are a 2 to 5 win team. I don't see a world in which our offense is good enough to win more than that, as it exists today. Even without Bryce's interceptions, we were not winning that game today.

I’m calm, but Bryce has a noodle arm. Most of us knew that, so it’s no surprise. 

I was banned for saying this over the summer; be careful. "BUT HIS BRAINS. HE'S GOT HUGE, MASSIVE, STRONGGGGG, BRAINS."

Of course it's just one game. But physically, he is underwhelming to say the least, which we all knew. He had deep ball opportunities and missed those as well which is another concern considering that was supposed to be a strength of his. 

It took Drew Brees what, six years? So maybe after another two coaches we will get there. Or maybe we can get a GM who can work a trade for or find the next Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle in the draft? 

Going to be tough going against the Bears when they have DJ Moore, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Drake Maye or Caleb Williams. They could be great for a decade or more if they play their cards right.

Bryce overthrew the deep balls hardly a noodle arm. 

He overthrew DEEP BALLS? So he doesn't have a noodle arm? I think you're misunderstanding what gives an NFL QB the moniker of "noodle arm". It's not the ability to throw the deep ball but rather the ability to nail in the short and intermediate throws into tight windows.

We’re going on 10 years now of needing to upgrade the wide receiver position and it ain’t for lack of trying.

He had a few throws in tight windows. The problem is most of the time the windows were completely shut.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
