Perfect Time For A Bye

Blitzing, we definitely need to analyze and work on that

Would have been useful against a rookie QB in his 2nd start

we blitzed quite a bit, and got some pretty damn good pressure.

My initial reaction was that nothing is worse than going into a bye after a loss, but after thinking about it, maybe this is good timing.

Everybody wants to win, and I am sure every player is trying as hard as they can. Maybe it is time for them to step back, realize the past can't be changed, and come out playing loose for the 2nd half of the season.

We didn't have the horses this year to post a great record. Sometimes when guys try to do too much, mistakes are the outcome.

Hopefully, they come back, enjoy the spoiler role, and learn to have some fun while building for next year.

Isn't that what a DVR is for? I haven't watched a live opening kickoff in years. Screw local Carolina Ford Dealers and all those damn commercials.

There is no magic that the coaching staff can do to make the guys on defense any better.

There is no magic player we can add to fix our special teams woes.

We just have to gut it out this season and figure out who is going to be here next year.

So the guys are going to have a 4 day vacation, then I hope Ron uses the rest of the time in pads to try to toughen them up. Working on discipline on the Offense to stop shooing ourselves in the foot with penalties. Getting the defensive line to work on shedding tackles and making their run fits is a must if we have any hope to fix our terrible run defense.

Ron is also going to have to start figuring out who we will hire for the special teams coaching job that is sure to come open after Jan1.

As for Kasey -v- Mare, remember Kasey missed a FG that would have won Jerry a ring, so the miss this week pales in comparison..

Do you mean when he kicked it out of bounds? I don't think Kasay missed any field goals in the superbowl.

Who you telling, my wife and I wake up at 2am Mondays over here stationed in Japan. Waiting for DST to wake up at 3am for an extra hour of sleep. haha! I love the Panthers though and will watch them no matter what. Miss every FG or lose every game, I'm there! This year sure has been a lot more exciting to watch compared to last year. Smitty getting his swagger back, Cam bringing something new to not just our team but to the NFL b/c of his athleticism, Double Trouble getting their share of touches, our new TEs are great, seeing other LB step up, and just know we are going to come together to win more games. Don't get me wrong, sucks waking up at 2am before work to see us lose but I have faith in this Panther organization!

Time, I guess, will make us better. The bye will rest up some dinged up guys. But I gotta say I don't hold out much hope for a win against the Lions, because they seem they're the real deal this year.

They don't really have an elite running game or anything. That will be nice for a change.
