Kicking field goals instead of getting into the end zone. Meh.

Whether we win this game or not we need to shed all this college nonsense and be an nfl team and establish our identity. And no our identity is not the Carolina Christian McCaffrey's.

Uh fumbling at the goal line ain't typical unless the team being a joke against the Jets of all teams is a good thing.

Well.. the bad Darnold didn't take long to show up. Let's see how he bounces back.

Alright let's settle in. Will the real Joe Brady please stand up?

Some folks don't need to drink.

Trust your talent and utilize someone other than CMC. Brady needs to show something this year.

The fact that Shaq can change his jersey number on the day of the season opener and it barely be a blip on the radar kinda says it all. Man I hope he balls out this season.

It's unlikely but Carolina has had redzone consistency issues for some years now so it also isn't totally improbable either. Need to get the receivers going early and take some shots downfield.

The oline is potential disaster waiting to happen. As always I'm hoping for the best but not expecting miracles with this group. If they can keep Sam relatively clean against the Jets I'll feel better moving forward but as of now our approach has not inspired confidence and that's justified. I get you are all in on giving this staff the benefit of the doubt but you still have to acknowledge reality.

Look I like Rhule and believe in many of the things he is doing here but i swear it seems like the ghost of coach Rivera is still lurking around the team building with these oline decisions.

Touchdowns not field goals!

Jaycee Horn or an over 30 qb with a lousy record against winning teams? Send him a fruit basket he saved us from ourselves.

Whatever happens this afternoon it will be great to finally stop seeing this crap and officially move on. It's gameday for the Carolina Panthers!

Now that's commitment!

Let him talk. He's just self destructing and proving a point that has long been known about some folks going on ten years now.

This point would hold more if there weren't a topic about Drew Brees hair with two pages. Either way this discussion will be drowned out by next week as we get into the full swing of the season so it will resolve itself.

It's an unfortunate situation all around. I respect Newton for being upfront and open about it all. To me it is clear he is a much different person than he was when he first got to Carolina. There are positives and negatives to that we all grow and change and none of us are perfect. And we live in a world now centered around social media and a need to connect about everything which brings it's own pluses and minuses. I hope he finds peace and if a spot is there for him in the nfl I hope he finds it but the man needs to decide on his vax status it's his own personal decision but it will keep looming if he wants a career that's the world we live in. As for this discussion and if it belongs I can't say I'm only one person but perhaps it should be a community decision.

The patch is just stitching all that matters is how this group comes together with the game on the line. Let's get some damn wins. I'm ready for Sunday. It's been long enough.

I can't speak for that but at this point we are all losing out in general. Social media has degraded journalism as a whole. But also there is the fact that let's be real there hasn't been much of anything to give true insight on with this team in years. We have either been in turmoil and public feuds with players like Newton or Bridgewater or just getting our butts kicked by the rest of the division. The last time we won anything meaningful was when we were in a win streak with Kyle Allen. That should tell you how low things have gotten. Hope is the best commodity for the moment. If we begin trending up I think you'll see more content here but it won't ever be like it was unless the Panthers pull a 180 on their media approach which is unlikely.

If you have been around through camp you would know the lack of access is definitely not limited to him. The Panthers have taken control of the local media scene now. Some people will like it that way others will view it as a loss for fans. But that's where we're at.

Just hold onto the football please.

The top pick would be nice but I don't see us being nearly bad enough for that. The rebuild talk is a convenient excuse when needed. If we were truly in a rebuild we would have drafted our quarterback and let him take his lumps. Throwing money and draft picks at Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold behind a mediocre offensive line isn't rebuilding it's just treading water. We hope Sam can get it done but just call it what it is
