Going to be a long 2 weeks

[Hairless Cat]

and by the next time we play quite a few of us will be thinking the sinking ship that is the Panthers has been pumped dry and righted and we actually have a chance against the niners.

I dont think I will be one of those.

[Happy Panther]

Were you standing with me at the port-o-potty today?

We agreed that sitting in 0-5 for 2 weeks is gonna suck

[Guild]

We can beat the niners. I just wonder if we actually will beat anyone this year. I can't believe this.

Its sad but this season is actually making me miss Jake.

Well at least we have stuff like this to read until then.

Grades from the Bears-Panthers game on Oct. 10.

QUARTERBACKS: F-

It’s hard to imagine a quarterback looking worse than Todd Collins, but Jimmy Clausen did his best. Matt Moore was no better, with a higher pick-attempt ratio (2-10). This team as presently constructed is incapable of passing.

RUNNING BACKS: C

It looked so good early, with a strong first drive. But they’re now 4-40 under Fox when they get 25 or fewer rush attempts in a game. They have to have a chance.

RECEIVERS: F

You’ve reached a special depth when it’s hard to imagine Steve Smith helping much. From Brandon LaFell’s dropped balls and ill-timed penalties (newcomer David Clowney got in that act, too) to the weird interception off Armanti Edwards, it was just bizarre.

OFFENSIVE LINE: D

Clausen was sacked five times, but it wasn’t as bad as that sounds. There were creases for the run game early, there just weren’t enough opportunities.

DEFENSIVE LINE: C

Everette Brown and Ed Johnson came up with picks, and if you take out getting gashed in the first quarter, they didn’t play that badly against the run (34 Chicago rushes for 96 yards, 2.8 per attempt).

LINEBACKERS: C

There was nothing truly offensive, and they did some good things at times. But these guys are getting run ragged by an offense that can’t get them a decent chance to drink Gatorade.

DEFENSIVE BACKS: C

Charles Godfrey and rookie Jordan Pugh came up with picks, but at this point, you have to dock these guys points for not taking them to the house. That might be the only way this team scores.

SPECIAL TEAMS: D

There were some good things (notably stalwart punter Jason Baker). But big returns allowed early helped trigger the avalanche.

COACHING: F

John Fox is coming perilously close to running out of buttons to push. He’s tried yelling, he’s tried babying. He’s tried mixing up the game plan, he’s tried going with the old reliables. The wretched offense isn’t all about play calls, but the ones they’re dialing up aren’t helping, either.

On the drive home I was trying to think of bright spots.

1) Baker looked great

2) D-Will had some good runs

that is all

The interceptions by our two linemen (Ed Johnson and Brown) were lulzy. They were highlights of the game for me.

I know this is immaterial but every time I see the horrid Panther cheerleader costumes I have to think - yep - that sums up this team - pro cheerleaders who cant even take your mind off the game a little bit and make it better

Look at it this way, we aren't going to lose next week.
