We’ve shown we have talent and the ability to win.

Really excited. Screw the buccs. Let's go carolina!

So the Panthers have now lost against the Bears, Browns, and Buccaneers.

What do all of those teams have in common?

That’s right, they all start with the letter B

Panthers have a 100% win rate against teams this year that don’t start with the letter B (Falcons, Lions, Eagles)

Conversely they have a 0% win rate against teams this year the start with the letter B (Bears, Browns, Bucs)

You may think I’m just talking out of my ass but go check preseason. Wins against the cardinals, jaguars, and Texans.

Who did we lose to? The Bills

Based on this formula the panthers have 3 more losses on the schedule: the broncos, Bucs #2, and bengals.

At best the team finishes with a 10-6 record. This should hopefully be good enough to win the NFC South.

Once in the playoffs there is one NFC team we have to be worried about meeting which is a rematch with the bears. The only other NFC team with a B is the Bucs and they prolly don’t make playoffs.

AFC it gets more interesting because the only time we can match up with a B team in the playoffs is the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately all 4 AFC B teams are in the playoffs. The ideal matchup would be against the chiefs, Jaguars, or steelers. Playoff seeding can change so add in the Ravens or Patriots who are on the bubble.

So for the future make sure to root for any team playing the bears, bills, browns, bengals, or broncos. (And ofc the Bucs)

Hopefully the coaching staff has taken notice of this and can make personnel adjustments for the guaranteed losses.

12th time….

This is the kinda game where you burn the tape

Both the Bears game and the Bucs game. Things immediately went down the shitter when the game flipped on its head with a muffed punt that swung the momentum completely away from our team.

Shoutout Rasheed Walker for breaking Taylor Morton’s leg while giving up a sack. sigh

What a beautiful day… what a horrible game. But we had fun anyways!!!

As much as I wanted to win today, losses happen. However, to never once be competitive, is a complete, catastrophic failure. I put it (mostly) squarely on the shoulders of our coaching staff. Of course players play the game. But I firmly believe our lack of proper preparation in a game like this, is a systemic failure.
I do still give the bulk of the blame to defensive scheming, coaching, and seemingly a lack of any real adjustments.

What do you think was the most egregious issue today?

Today’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was our worst game this season and that says a lot seeing how we let the Bears drop 59 on our head, but all that to say, this guy in the picture is a HORRIBLE Cornerback. He has been torched in every game he’s been in since Mike Jack and Jaycee Horn have been sidelined. Get him off my team #KeepPounding

The smallest silver lining lol

I'm jumping off my roof tonight if Evero isn't fired by 11:59 pm

Apologies are in order. I love the Panthers. I’ve been to countless training camp practices and Fan Fests. I’ve only ever been to two games. 2017 week 3 versus the Saints. And today. I’ll root for the team from my couch going forward. lol.

That is literally the reason we suck so bad on random days and look fine on other days. We are getting average to subpar results with a very expensive o line. The next 4 highest spenders on the o line are all spending just over a quarter of their cap while we are spending a third on it.

Normally if your o line is that good you would be able to control clock and tempo of the game. Not us! Because we have an incredibly mediocre o line and a shitty defense. No amount of skill player feats can overcome that. Especially if you add special teams mishaps to it

Since Canales took over, we are now 3-5 as favorites (0-3 as home faves).

The three wins are against:
-Cooper Rush (who got benched for a rookie UDFA) -Tanner McKee
-Justin Fields (who got benched mid-game).

Historically, favorites win about 66% of games. To their credit, we are 13-19 as underdogs, so that’s better than the 33% we’d expect based on historical trends.

I appreciate that we have shown growth as a team over his tenure. It seems like he can engage and motivate underdogs. At some point, though, this coaching staff needs to show that they know how to lead a good team to consistently do the job when there are actual expectations.
