SOJA

this is a trap game if I've ever seen one Thursday night/short week (check) away game (check) Houston team who no one believes in but has been competitive their first two games (check) Starting a rookie QB who we don't have much film on (check) The panthers should win this game, that being said we have really left off the gas peddle in both our first two games. If we show up and do that for four quarters in Houston I could totally see Houston winning a low scoring slugfest and us all standing there scratching our nuts

well what we absolutely can't do is go there and show up like we've played the last two second halves. This game should be a win but HOU has been far more competitive this year than anyone expected.

fumble at the goal line is a metaphor for most panthers games

why the fug would tepper do this? Such a terrible decision

I mean those are pretty reasonable takes. I'm far less optimistic about chances against the Saints...Jameis looked great and Payton is probably the best coach in the league. They are also talented and established. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a blowout. Hoping for the best, but the Panthers can not play like they did last week with wasted opportunities if they expect to compete in this game

this is so reminiscent of the dude who was starting above Andrew Norwell until he got hurt Meanwhile Rivera was stubbornly playing the vet

Can not believe we punted from the 33

Think I'm ready to fire off this hot take: Matt Rhule is not a good in game coach

Linebacker maybe I don't see Oline happening unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that there are more teams than their are good offensive lineman

Odds aren't that good on bovada, believe its 35-1. However I did sprinkle a little on him being the sacks leader, him being defensive MVP, and here's a juicy one that likely won't hit TMJ offensive rookie of the year at 88-1. Yes I realize one of those QBs is probably winning it but 88 is too perfect

Man I love me some Machi Becton. Really wish we had taken him instead of DB last year. Hope he gets well soon

I'm 100% buying the nerf ghally and blasting my wife into oblivion when she gets home from work

Love this I would honestly not be upset if 2 out of first three picks in the draft are spent on offensive lineman

Fantastic deal for all involved. This will not prevent a DJ extension down the road and by 2023 TMJ is going to be a freaking stud

They changed his position and he sat out of football awhile. I think we're a LONG way off from calling him a bust but he hasn't looked great so far.

lmao I missed the guy under the center

I mean if Darnold doesn't pan out and Fields does the writing is on the wall for Rhule

Need a kicker First and second year's draft classes look like a grand slam and at least a triple respectively Darnold didn't look horrible against one of the better defenses in the NFL

I count five guys in our backfield lol

Well the argument was New York left him out to dry routinely and hampered his development. Panthers are trying a different approach.

I just don't understand why we haven't at least given him a shot at LT, you know the position he played for four years in college

great post OP I was thinking this exact same thing the other night. We absolutely nailed this draft class and last years is no slouch either. This makes me extremely optimistic for the future

Everyone just be so grateful that Burns was there in the first. Not just because Brian Burns might end up being the third best defensive player in panthers history but also because Hurney was going to take Little in the first had Burns not been there. LMAO god I'm so glad Hurney is gone

Yea I never really could get into the game, maybe I'll give it another go sometime. Just kinda boring
