Reich didn’t challenge that… he is a complete bum 

What a loser. This entire franchise is a dumpster fire. D-bag of an owner. Inept HC. 

These Yellowstone ads. CBS leaning completely into the senior citizen I don't know how to stream community. Not that they don't need to be served, but boy not a play for viewership 5 years from now.

The Panthers all-blacks are cursed anyways. They should never wear them again 

As frustrated as I am with this missed opportunity, I can’t totally disagree. That all black is the best look in football but I’ll be dayumed if this team doesn’t forget to put their soul in those uniforms. They just put their body in the uniform and strut out to the gallows for a hanging. 

The people complaining about this complaint don’t understand the underlying non-verbal messaging. Constantly missing the mark on seemingly little issues is systemic of larger problems around just simply not getting it. First and most importantly, at the end of the day the NFL is a TV show and the Panthers are an actor vying for a lead role. Our owner is our agent and he consistently doesn’t know how to position us to be the leading man. 

I fully expect today to be exactly what we've had since 2018. Total poo. I was excited about new ownership and in particular an owner like Tepper with a known media footprint and a resume that suggested success at every corner. Today marks the beginning of the sixth season completely circling the NFL drain under his so-called leadership. He inherited a team that had been to the playoffs 4 of the previous 5 seasons. Grant it, a team that was aging out and a quarterback that couldn't throw the football anymore. Nonetheless, in 5 seasons he can't put an 8+ win team on the field. 

He was super successful in winning his spite against Jerry Richardson and finding a reason to get that admittedly dumb statue removed. One that he was supposedly contractually bound to retain. I just wish he'd pour that same amount of energy into football as he has in his disdain for Richardson, love for soccer, creating a woke social presence, and pissing off the one-half of the "two states one-team" mantra with his shenanigans in Rock Hill. 

Today will be more of the same. You have to be a message board-level fan to even know anyone on our roster outside of the draft's number-one overall pick, Brian Burns, and maybe Thielen. Though I suspect a ton of fantasy football drafts had people saying in late rounds, "Thielen is on the Panthers now?" We've gone from having some of the best in the NFL at a number of positions to having a roster full of "I hope he works out" players having never reloaded once those tops in the NFL guys aged out. 

The Carolina Panthers have an identity crisis and I fear today is not going to be the beginning of creating a new narrative. I have owned PSL's visa vie my dad, now mine after he passed ironically in 2018, since the very beginning. I have seen miracles, this very year, receiving an organ transplant just 17 days after getting approved on the donor list and just days before I would have died. I know what optimism looks and feels like and for some reason, this team just doesn't feel like there's anything to be optimistic about. 

I hope I am terribly mistaken and we destroy the dirty birds today but I just can't deny I have this feeling that something is missing, that something is off and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Again, I hope I am wrong, but I needed to lay down my marker.

What service do you have? DirectTV has some BS message about the pissing contest they’re having with Nexstar over pricing, so they’ve got a message saying they won’t show it. I’m about to switch carriers. 

Who does DirecTV think they are. They had to do some workaround deal with the NFL to keep Sunday Ticket for restaurants. That'll be short-lived once restaurants cut the cord. They don't need to be getting in pissing contests with anyone. Are they still losing nearly a million subscribers every month? 

Ummm. Not on TV in Charlotte either on FOX or NFL. I'm at a bar with DirecTV. 

Unfortunately, Vegas doesn't have us in the top 5 to get D Hop. Vegas is Vegas for a reason. They don't like to lose.

Oh poo

Do we not have the most remaining cap space in the league  and a no obvious #1 WR??

2nd highest remaining cap space. But I doubt Hopkins wants to play with a rookie QB and new coaching staff  

 

 

Not a new coach though. Just new to Charlotte.

We got the cash right? 

We have cap space, yes. 

Gotta get him! 

The secondary was brutal today. The Evans’ TD’s were an absolute killer. 

It seems we’re dismantling the offense because it never clicked. GB needs a go to WR for Rodgers. We should be able to scoop their 1 pick because it’s a big need for them.

Might as well trade DJ. Burn it down!

Don’t joke. I’d bet there’s one more trade coming. DJ or Jaycee. 

Does anyone know if he even rode the team plane back? That trade must’ve been put into motion during the game.

Technically, the NFL got us into it.

As I recall, sentiment around here generally favored Ben Navarro.

Would he have been better? Don't know, but so far Tepper is horse sh-t.

Fair. None the less. This hasn't been a good journey. 

Tepper is turning into a nightmare owner. What have we gotten ourselves into here? 

If the Panthers are legitimately looking at Baker Mayfield they can save themselves a lot of heartburn by just trading down and picking Howell. He’s effectively the same player as Mayfield with a better head on his shoulders.

Yeah, saw it.

That's clearly Matt Rhule on the right. Guy on the left looks enough like Kuechly that I buy it.

That’s the best angle I could get without being obnoxious.

No offense, but people will rightly ask if you can validate this.

Picture now posted in thread. Validated.

Are having dinner at Leroy Fox Cotswold right now. Not sure if there’s anything to read into that, but these are the facts.
