That was a field goal try lol

Real teams go for it on 4th and this location. It was even more of a no brainer for us. Now watch them score.

This is really an audition game for Wilks imo and he's not doing a good job so far.

Lol rushing 3 on 3rd.

Here we go.

Tackle please.

This is why not going for it was bad. We had a chance to go up big before they had a chance to make adjustments.

What even is this drive lol. We should have went for it earlier.

No way. Against Brady when he was already carving us up? Going up 14-0 would be big. We are out Horn and already look weak in secondary.

He's just too conservative in this league. They just moved the ball all over over us and we only got lucky with a turnover. It's Brady. Just a dumb move.

Oh Wilks. This is why I can't trust him to be a coach. You are going against comeback player of the century and you don't fight for points.

Go for it.

Big play because the defense was having issues.

I think Carr is way better than a retread, and that coaching staff is just terrible. If you can get Carr for a reasonable deal or whatever it wouldn't be a bad idea. He's way better than Mayfield and Darnold.

Panthers lose. I don't see us winning unless we blow them out and they play just absolutely terrible. The NFL wants Brady in the playoffs and they'll do whatever they can to make that happen. We'll probably go up a score or two and then the officiating gets bad as always. I expect at least 3 bogus roughing calls. Brady will start a comeback. Wilks will start playing conservative just like Fox and Rivera in the past and "let the defense" win it for us. They won't. Slowly as always the game will get close, Wilks plays for a field goal instead of a TD and we miss the FG. Bucs capitalize and beat us. The cycle is complete. We then win the next game as another "moral victory", lose a couple more draft slots, and everything is right in the NFL world. I hope I'm completely wrong.

Unfortunately....... the....... Panthers..... do not bring ratings.....even if underdog.

I think it's just best to be prepared for it. Most likely, there will be a lot of question marks I think. Brady brings the ratings, that's just how it is. I believe to win we're going to need to have a convincing victory so we can get through the BS flags that will most likely get thrown. But hey, who knows, maybe the NFL is ready to move on from Brady but I don't see it.

I mean, who do we think is going to play the position if we don't sign him? It's easy to say "he's not worth this, or that" but do we factor in we have no one else to play the position and a draft pick isn't guarantied? We haven't had good center play since Kalil. We may need to overpay a little because we really need the guy. The Ravens have a really good line which is why they felt they could let him go. We, really don't.

This is a team with zero back to back winning seasons and really no sustained success. What do we expect? This is also a melting pot city full of people from up north and other places that aren't changing their favorite team so of course they buy the tickets. And before the Panthers, everyone was a Steelers or Washington fan here. So it takes time for generations born here to grasp on and it takes some kind of sustained winning to build a fanbase. Without the melting pot fans we may not have got a team in the first place. It's simple, just win, with some consistency. But I have been to Panthers games where fans are hyped, like the Arizona game (at least until Jake started throwing INTs). So I think the fanbase WANTS to become like that but the team sucks it out of them.

Moton getting destroyed.

We are going to regret not taking that trade for years to come.

So this is why I am not sold on Wilks. We look vastly unprepared on defense which is his specialty. He ain't the guy.

Where is Burns? We are getting zero pressure.

Oh defense

Defense looks trash. Come on.
