Yeah, well... WHEN and if he's in there that's the only time this team seems to have a legitimate chance to win. That's the "meat" of it, unfortunately.

Which tells me they are not playing with inspiration, probably because they don't believe in their QB and or coaches.

William Wallace would be Tom Brady. Would you agree that HE is a leader of men... and a football field general?

Actually its the fans that fund the organization, without the fans there would be no Carolina Panthers. How much money do you thing the organization makes with all the season ticket holders and constant sale out crowds, with all the vendors included? That's not including fans like me outside the Carolina's buying Panthers merchandise... so, I think it's totally appropriate to say we/us, if we are financially supporting the organization win or lose!

Careful now... you'll get pooed out of here. No room for humility here, just rose colored glasses.

Some people just cannot see the truth... we're 3-1 right now with a ton of games still ahead. The Cardinals just embarrassed the Rams and the Rams looked like the best team in the NFC last week. This is a marathon, not a sprint! Dallas is a Superbowl contender THIS year like it or not! Our Panthers are still building, but without doubt, we're moving in the right direction. It takes time, and it takes getting exposed sometimes to find out where we need to improve. There is a TON to like about the Panthers right now despite losing to a team everyone hates to lose to.

Ummm... Lol, I don't even know what youre trying to say here. But you Cajuns are notorious for that. So... what game did YOU watch today? You sober yet?

Poo me all you want TLGPanthersFan... Just watch the film. I'm not making excuses, I'm just being real. The Panthers were outmatched and took a butt whooping... it happens!

I agree... we cannot let it be like the Pittsburgh game a couple years ago, Panthers must learn and let it fuel them, we'll see. I'm just concerned with our front 3/front 4... will we be gashed like this in the run game moving forward, were we truly exposed? If you watch the film, it was as bad as it gets, Dallas O-line was pushing our front 4 five yards back. Granted, Dallas probably has the best O-line in the NFL, but this is something Phil Snow really needs to look at and assess. I'm hoping it was just a glitch in the matrix, but DANG, that Dallas O-line looks unstoppable... I'll bet Dallas contends for the Superbowl if they stay healthy... that is a talented squad! I haven't seen Dallas look this good since the 90's.

LOL.... was a straight up ass whipping!

THIS ^^^ This is the biggest takeaway I got from this game... which should concern everyone. It was total domination!

I sure hope so, because what I saw was our much talked about #1 defense, an NFL defensive line get pushed back 5 yards on run after run... to be honest, it's a bit concerning.

You WILL NOT win in the NFL when your defensive line gets completely blown off the line of scrimmage the way the Panthers D-line did today. This honestly looked like Alabama crushing some team like Georgia Southern in the run game. Dallas offensive line just man-handled our D-line, I haven't seen our D-line get handled like that in a long time. Huge run after huge run, gaping holes, missed tackles... this was TRULY the difference in the game. If you want to see what a championship caliber O-line looks like... well, you saw it today with Dallas. They completely embarrassed our defense! Dak honestly wouldn't have had to thrown one pass today... Our O-line is another topic all together.

The "Snow Plow" defense

Modern NFL turfs that's how

I'm just sad man... I really thought (and he still may be) Horn would be an impact player like Deon Sanders was, I see that potential in him, he had been working his ass off... just breaks my heart.

Yeah, I get that... it will always impact the game. We NEED CMC for a WHOLE season.... we NEED Horn to develop into the playmaker we know he looks like. I swear, we just need the Ju Ju Gods to smile upon this team during this long ass season. I hate to be negative, we're 3-0 and I love this team, but we're young and need things to go our way. I'm knee jerking for sure... but it breaks my heart to see Horn go down week 3, totally breaks my heart. I wanted to see him with a pick 6 this game.

Fugging everything!! we're week three out of a 17 game schedule... not little injuries, but HUGE KEY injuries! This is part of the reason the NFL sucks anymore, just having hope. You cannot truly have hope in your team anymore, they could have the most talent on paper compared to every team in the league, but where does that get you when NO ONE can stay healthy in this BS league... YES, injuries have always happened in the NFL, I get it. It's just funny how for years when I was a Dallas Cowboys fan (forgive me), before Carolina got a franchise, the key players on the team that won multiple super bowls stayed on the field. Todays game is nothing but a huge gamble on how many of your playmakers stay healthy. Three games in and all of a sudden... how do we look now? Yes... We're 3-0, I get it... but dammnit, we need some luck!

Either way, isn't that just the Panthers luck? How is Patrick Surtain JR doing right now? He's actually looking like a real playmaker... unfortunately, the NFL sometimes just comes down to luck... Denver with their great defense picked Surtain and the Panthers picked Horn... now here we are, our pick out for a while. This team is so snake bitten and I don't know why.

We have no "dogs" on this team other than CMC... No Smitty is saving this team, playmakers STEP up, and we haven't seen this on this team in a long time.

That's what I am saying!!! We have a team built on CMC being a safety net, THAT's IT!! We will never be a good team until a QB can hit our WR's down the field consistently for big plays! So far, Darnold is not showing he can do that no matter who the "dog" ends up being.

What the Panthers need is our WR's step the F&%K up, get separation, and become the PLAYMAKERS we've all been saying they are!!! So far I haven't seen ONE "Smitty" in the bunch... We also need Darnold to get the damn ball to them, and most of all our crap O-line to step up and allow it!!

OHHHH no, CMC is hurt... what will we EVER do? We are now seeing what this team is made of... The Texans QB making his first start, lol... they're not a good team. BUT, as soon as we saw CMC go down, the team just freaking folded, no identity. Now we'll see who Darnold is, and we will see what these coaches do in the second half, I am curious. Funny how we want respect, lol.

Yep, 7-7 at halftime against a team we should be killing... EXPOSED suddenly

Which kind of sums up how good our offense is... Darnold's safety net is CMC, case in point.
