Is it bad that my bar for this year has been for the team to be watchable and that I’m happy with where we are at this moment?

I feel like most reasonable and non delusional fans were expecting 4-7 wins this year. I see us realistically winning 2 more games. One of the wins being against the chiefs of course.
I said I would be thrilled with 3 wins and I actually kinda am. We aren’t the worst, yay!
I was hoping for maybe 5 wins but what i really wanted was signs of good coaching and young players to build around. Still in play for that i’d say
I have a little hope which I haven’t had much of lately
That’s all I ever wanted. Competent football with dudes competing.
i said going into the season i just want to see competitive games and it didn’t feel like that was possible with how the first few games went. we’ve gotten some competitive games and even a few wins, the team looks like it’s heading in the right direction at least. i’m content so far
I’m just happy that the arrow *might* be pointed in the right direction for the team moving forward
The o-line is great, we have some young talent at the skill position with Hubbard, LeGette, and Coker. A good 2025 draft will get us back to the point where we actually have a decent roster for the first time in years. And Canales hasn’t shown anything unbelievable so far but the last two weeks have been encouraging for him
Still no idea what we will do at QB going forward, but at least some other problems are fixed
My bar was 3 wins: 1 win means you are as good as the 2 head coaches last year, respectively. 2 means you better than both. 3 wins means superbowl bound, obviously.
This is all I asked for after last year, so no
Yes it is bad, but that’s where we are
I think it’s OK to feel that way because there’s been notable progress from last year. The O-line has been pretty good which leads to success in other areas. Chuba’s having a great season and Bryce looks more confident in the pocket. XL, Coker, and J. Sanders look promising. Defense has been decent too.
I just want to see us compete and look like we’re improving
I think we all just want growth. So many years of looking like the same team. It’s SO NICE seeing players grow into their roles and become faces of this team. I miss the days when I knew everyone’s name on this defense.
The two wins in a row have really changed the course of this season. Obviously it could fall apart again but if we can end the year with like 5 wins I’ll be encouraged… huge improvement over last year. The main thing i want is direction, to feel like we’re going somewhere.
I just like it when the panthers are fun to watch and when the fans rally behind the team. That’s what makes football fun for me. Yeah, we’re ass, but ass together strong
watchable is not asking too much for this squad
I don’t think it’s bad at all. Setting a bar that’s focused on being **watchable** this year is realistic given the situation. It’s about laying the groundwork for future success, and if the team is making progress and being competitive, that’s worth celebrating.
Just watched to see growth and steps in the right direction for our players and their development. Also wanted to see what Dan & Dave draft talented players and use them in a scheme that can utilize their strengths.
Being 3-7 doesn’t feel awesome but seeing the team live week 1 at NOLA and watching every game since, I do feel hopeful for what this team could be in another 1-2 years.
I’ve only been upset for like 1 game this entire season. I like our gutsy coach. I Love how the O-line is progressing. These rookies are showing up as well. I’m definitely trusting this process.#KeepPounding
Was actually thinking this morning how it feels completely different from this time last year. We have hope. We seem competent. There are other orgs out there (Giants, Jets, Jags, even Bears?) that look more lost than we do.
Young core of talent on offense with XL Coker & Sanders. If Brooks starts showing promise down the stretch we’ll really be cooking. Chuba locked in as a dude. Bryce actually showing improvement and signs of life. Canales is a young energetic guy that everyone works and plays hard for. Really seems like he cares about each guy in the building. Also says a lot we’ve won 3 games with our best defensive players done for the season.
Only thing I want to see improvement on as we finish out would be the play calling from Canales. In both wins over Saints and Giants seems like he was turtling too much and being way over conservative late in the game. This is his first year as an HC, and he seems really smart, so I’m sure he’ll learn from it and improve going forward but those to me have been the biggest negatives the last few weeks. If you remember in year 2 of Dan Campbell people were calling for his job. Now look at Detroit.
My prediction is we get 2 more wins (probably Cowboys and week 18 vs. Atlanta) while making a handful of other games down the stretch pretty interesting. Finish 5-12 and have some serious momentum going into the offseason.
That’s literally my bar too. I watched the first couple drives of the year then took a few weeks off because fuck what I saw. They’re at least watchable now.
Tepper effect. Everyone’s happy to be 3-7 and squeaking out close wins against dumpsterfire teams.

Nope. That’s like 90% of us
