Ron Rivera once called a timeout to berate an official

The NFL doesn’t care. They are under no obligation to referee a fair game.

I mean there might not be a single player from the defense that shut those guys down in 2018 on the 2021 team other than Shaq Thompson

My positives: Sam Darnold is better than Teddy Asswater DJ Moore is an elite receiver about all I got

The defense is average. It’ll balance out against good offenses and they’ll probably finish around 16. The defensive front is still pretty undersized and have made up for it with scheme and disguised blitzes against bad teams so far. But they won’t fool well coached offenses, like the Cowboys. The run defense got absolutely exposed today. I’m worried about facing offenses like the Vikings and Cardinals coming up. On offense, Darnold is an improvement over Asswater but I wouldn’t say it’s big enough to overcome the poor offensive line and CMC injury. Without DJ Moore the offense might be completely inept. The team is better than last season, but it’s not a playoff team yet. I’ll be happy with 8 wins.

I went back and looked at the stats on the run defense, man is it bad. The Panthers run defense got absolutely exposed in this game. They need to make some adjustments in game when their odd man fronts start getting beat. Was not having Gross-Matos that big of a loss?

Gotta stop shotgunning beers at halftime

Panthers are victims of bad refereeing every game. It has to stop.

Well that’s not good for Phil Snow going forward I guess

Were right on track for that ESPN season prediction that said we’d start 4-1 and finish 5-12 and draft #1 overall

So this is why NFL coordinators call the Panthers defense a college defense?

It is until we aren’t

I was banging the table to draft Fields the whole off-season. Darnold is maybe marginally better than Bridgewater but still lacks that clutch aspect.

Guys saying we can move on from this….I feel like this is more of the real Panthers than we realize. A horrible offensive line with a shaky QB who can’t play from behind, and a paper tiger defense that will get shredded by good QBs and potent running games. This is a better team than last year but not quite a playoff team. Injuries hurt as well.

Cowboys would have destroyed this team either way. Defense tapped out in the second half and Darnold can’t win a game from behind

Little too early for this. Gonna be a long season. I just hope we finish over .500 but that might be optimistic

lol this team won’t go 8-1 after a performance like this. 4-4 is more likely

Put in PJ

Dallas is going to win by like 30 though

I mean yea they are but the defense got worked for 3 TD drives too

One really bad call that went against us but the defense completely collapsed in the second half. Terrible.

Dallas going to put up 50

We are still a bad team that played even worse teams

Game over

Need a defensive turnover or this will slip away from us
