Moving at will

Give up plays

give up plays 

because of a poor qb

I hate Dave Canales.  I simply do

I want this team to win so bad

particularly after the Fox comment of 

the Packers ‘ are like a Lion  just playing with their food”

mother fugers

i am trying to not get my hopes up

No matter what happens today, even if we somehow pull out a miraculous win, Bryce has to go.  The NFL is too big for him.  He looks scared out there.  How he has not been snapped in half yet is beyond me?  Pure luck I guess, but he's on borrowed time.

He

1. Has no long ball

2. Can’t do a qb sneak with him

keep him one year and then ba bye

Young looks like he is sleep walking today 

In a dream land

Why can’t they run a qb sneak

god knows,  no one would expect it

I wouldn't expect Rico do go off with this line....if he does its his pure beastmode.

Yeah. They signed Moton to another what 3 year contract 

they knew he had a bad knee

here we are 

had Canales just stayed with Rico and ran the ball, allot of these injured  wouldn’t  have happened

better to be the hammer than the nail…running, linemen are the hammer, passing, the nail 

Predictions from the Observer writers 

i am sad   I wish the Panthers had one, just one, game changing hero on their roster …one player that isnt ok with losing …there aren't any Steves,, Lukes,  Cams, Thomas’ on this roster    When  a team has a roster and there isn't one jersey that sells, there arent any heroes

if there are, today is a good day to show up

From the Oberser 

Fowler: Packers 30, Panthers 20. Carolina will hang around for a while for this one, but the Packers — a legitimate Super Bowl threat — have just too much firepower.

Kaye: Packers 31, Panthers 20. Green Bay feels like one of the true Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. The Packers’ offense is dynamic and the defense continues to improve. With a banged up O-line and an unpredictable defense, I’m not sure it matters who is at QB for the Panthers on Sunday. The Packers should win at home in convincing fashion.

Zietlow: Packers 35, Panthers 28. I predicted last week that the Bills would win in lopsided fashion. They were coming off a two-game losing streak followed by a bye. The Panthers, conversely, were due for a regression after three great weeks. This week, after refocusing, I think the Panthers will put up a strong performance. I also think Rico Dowdle will get the majority of the carries and that the defense will play much better against the run. The Packers will still win, but the Panthers will leave Lambeau with their heads held high.

If Rico can get hot early we may have a chance to win and it would be the upset of the Year

Appreciate your optimism

It's either Bryce or Daniel Jones and it's probably going to be Bryce.

People forget how terrible Mayfield was here because it’s become popular to idolize him, since he’s found the perfect scenario for himself. But a 74.4 QB rating (worse than Bryce) a 1-1 TD-INT ratio (worse than Bryce) and a .200 win percentage (worse than Bryce somehow!) meant he was actually better than Bryce here. It’s great that people want to improve the QB room because it definitely needs it, if not an overhaul. But the whole “it wasn’t Baker’s fault” has to be from people who didn’t watch in 2022.

Wasnt Baker coming off injury when first here…i dont remember 

the Rhule Fitterer years were a hot mess and the franchise is still paying 

both Darnold and Baker csn play, and could play   They rose with better organizations and coaches …neither of which the Panthers had.

 Im not sure what the Panthers have now

Not even on the injury report, that’s quite the recovery

I say bring Lance in. We have an OL, decent weapons and, by god, a QB whisperer as a HC. (obviously joking about that last part) Plus, we're statistically due to have a reclamation project work.

My thoughts exactly

lance has issues  we all know that but being able to do a qb sneak for 2 yards isnt one of them   

Neither is throwing the ball more than 5 yards  whether it is to one of our players or a fan in the stands is the issue

even ‘small hands’  pickett  as a backup is far better than Dalton

Still don't believe Hubbard is fully healthy yet.

And if he isn't, any judgment made on him will likely be skewed.

I dont either

calf injuries seldom heal in 2 weeks

I don’t recall if this is the same calf as last year’s season end

I get it. It's just hard to wrap your mind around that it's THAT bad and Morgan/Tepper didn't see any reason to bring in any QB competition this offseason. 

And that, is a helluva lot more concerning than anything else

Christensen officially goes on IR. Panthers sign Mike White to roster to back up Young due to Andy Dalton’s injury.

Proves my point that Hooker is horrible and is literally just here to run scout team. The Panthers would rather have had 37 year old Andy Dalton with an injured throwing thumb out there than Hooker. They also sign a guy who has been here 8 days over Hooker who has been here 9 weeks.

It just makes me question these personnel decisions even more.

one would think that QB isn't the most important position on the team .

…or that this team has a small of frame QB by anyone’s measure 

…there are 17 games in a season

…why are they surprised he got hurt and they are unprepared 

After they made a prior decision to keep a declining dalton, ditch the long  term, not great Jack Plummer and he is replaced with so poor of a  project  that he isnt viewed as even 3rd string

what are they doing 

Athletic today reported this line

embarrassing 

• Carolina (+13) at Green Bay, because it’s a huge line and the Packers like to play with their food

Well said. I just don’t understand how Canales thinks he will gain the respect of your players if you don’t play the best players based on their level of play and contribution.  Everyone is so damn coddled it’s no wonder they fold when punched in the mouth 

Mr Rogers without the sweater

He does things even a high school coach wouldn't do

frankly, he is a bad version of Pete carroll

Tepper made a call id say. Same way he wasn't benching Bryce last year after week 2 then boom like he got a phone call 

Yep

What Canales says is not something he would say the way he would say it

those are Tepper’s words during the post game Monday HC to owner meeting 

no way does Canales word things thevwsy that statement was worded

you ride your best horse in a race you have to win.  You don’t ride the stable pony 

it is really not hard 

Packers 38, Panthers  20

halftime score, Packers, 21, panthers 7

tucker Kraft and the other GB TE have  field days against Evero’s defense

i swear, I wish the Panthers had a hero or two, tough guys who perform and make plays  

gone are the Luke, Cam,  Delhomme, Steve Smith days and it sucks

Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined. 
Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea. 

Aren’t there two former HCs on staff, Capers and the former WF…Lions HC

Seems like our coaching staff is out coached. 

Continually

the simplest things…think about it

how hard is it to know Rico is the bell cow back until he isnt

how hard is it to know your defense is getting beat on the edge with freaking toss plays and adjust  and fix the dl alignment 

over it.   JV staff

The leash is long and there's still time but he definitely exposed himself as not the offensive wiz he was cracked up to be. Looking like your average OC cosplaying as head coach. I feel like you could swap him and Evero and the results would be about the same

Yep and Evero is good at setting the wrong kinda records, anytime he plays a top 15 team

the latest, making james cook the rb who breaks franchise record in yards  at 216  because his defense couldnt stop a toss play. The onky reason it wasnt more was mcdermott stopped it.  Pathetic 

and this follows the worst run defense in nfl history last year 

As for Canales, imho no way should canales be in duo roles

only the highest level coaches are and he is no Andy Reid or sean Mcvay   He wasnt  even  high in Tampa
