His stats were good, but he didn't really pass the eye test. Our worst lineups all night included Martin, Oubre and Plumlee, none of which who were good. Ish Smith was phenomenal though, was surprised to see him play so well as I had no expectations for him.

I friggin love LaMelo Ball. Dude is gonna be a multiple time MVP and bring at least 1 championship to Charlotte, you can just tell with this guy. Panthers may suck but Hornets and Canes are playoff teams.

Zane has found a groove here, no reason at this point to take a chance on a guy who just got cut for missing kicks and being unreliable...

It's hardly a "huge" extension. Short term and the money isn't insane or anything. Also Marshall got beat out by Zylstra recently, he really hasn't shown enough at all yet to be counted on. Robby has been trash this year but he was phenomenal last year. I think he'll turn it around. And if not, criticizing the contract is more of a hindsight 20/20 deal. Robby was a #1 WR with the Jets and a great 1b for us last year. He deserved that contract.

Yeah before this year he was never known for drops, but it has been a trend so far this year, not just yesterday. He's had at least 1 drop in every game except the Jets game where he only had like 2 targets. yesterday was an absolute disaster from him, even with the late TD catch.

It has been with a few of these guys... Robby, Chuba

Sam had like 10 seconds on the first play, and multiple guys open and he threw a pick. The whole team sucked, Sam included. I don't feel bad for any of them.

NFLPA is an absolute joke. If they actually cared about the players' interests, there would be no football as long as turf fields and TNF exist.

Yes. They are absolutely terrible. Significantly worse than us and any of the teams we've lost to this year.

Teddy in the 1st TB game last year was worse than any Darnold performance so far this year.

The thing is, my comment in that thread at the time was entirely sarcastic. Yet the irony is that it's actually true. Back in 2018 with every loss we said "oh well we'll win again next week and still make wild card" until it was week 17 and we had lost 7 straight.

This is the NFL, it's win or fug off. Only 17 games, you can't afford to drop games to crappy teams like we have the last 2 weeks.

Seriously, take it the fug back. This is Panthers football and we all know it. Always has been and always will be.

I've been as big a fan of Rhule as anyone here but frankly these losses have been downright embarrassing and unacceptable for a team with our talent. Constantly shooting ourselves in the foot throughout every single phase of the game is entirely on the coaching staff. If it were just 1 player here and there making mistakes ok, but it's been numerous players on O, D and STs, for multiple games now. We got lucky to hang on against a couple shitty teams when we made unacceptable 2nd half mistakes, and lost to 2 teams we easily should've beaten. Super Bowl caliber NFL head coaches don't have this crap happen consistently like this. Rivera-esque head coaches have this crap happen consistently. Tepper has been quoted saying it takes time to build a program, 5 years, blah blah blah. But fact of the matter is when you have disturbing trends like this, those won't go away in 2-3 years, those years will just be wasted. We saw it with Rivera. I'm sure Tepper is losing his patience too after seeing his team blow away good starts to the season in every year he's owned the team. Rhule and company badly need to turn it around ala Rivera in 2013 otherwise we need to let Fitterer pick his own coaching staff.

My God we are so lucky that the Vikings are their own worst enemies just like we are.

Burns should be a top 5 player in the league but he pulls poo like this every fuging game multiple times. WTF is wrong with him

Both these teams are so laughably bad. Hope we can win though, maybe getting McCaffrey back and Gilmore one day can actually help turn our season around.

Holy fug.

DJ is not a franchise receiver and should not be handed a top 5 WR contract. Has absolutely zero killer instinct.

Can we drop both these fuging ideas. One is under investigation for multiple sexual assaults and the other can’t throw the damn ball any more. Just stop

Who would’ve thought Ian Thomas would be our best offensive player today?

We could have Pat Mahomes on $1M/year deal and would still suck

Yeah let’s just rush a terrible play before the quarter ends so we can open the 4th with a punt. This team is so ridiculously bad. Coaching staff is a fuging joke.

I am so damn sick of this putrid football team. I don’t know why I even bother and waste fuging time on watching this poo

Just about ready to completely ignore football and focus on the Canes/Hornets. What a joke of a team we have
