Stop panicking, the defense was due a bad game, it happens.

Before tonight, Carolina's defense had held 13 of its last 14 regular season opponents to 20 points or fewer.
 
A string that good is nearly impossible to put together.
 
To put it into perspective, Seattle's defense, over the same time period, had only held 10 of its last 14 regular season opponents to 20 points or fewer.
 
Conversely, the Panthers have not won a game in which the defense gave up more than 20 points since the final game of 2012.
 
Since the start of the 2011 season, Carolina is 3 and 20 when the defense gives up more than 20 points. 
 
The defense will bounce back in a big way. 
 
We are going to win the NFC south.

Everything that could have went wrong for us tonight did go wrong. Literally. That is not an exaggeration, that is the truth. Penalties, turnovers, and all-around stupid play at the worst possible times.

 

The Steelers weren't that much better than us from a talent or gameplan perspective. We lost this game mostly by shooting ourselves in the foot. If Cam actually runs away from the pressure on that fumble, we don't inexplicably jump offside on the FG, and Philly Brown doesn't go full retard on the punt return, there's every chance we actually win.

 

This is the NFL and it's hard to beat even this league's crappy teams. Make as many mistakes as we did tonight and you'd be hard-pressed to beat even Jacksonville.

 

Chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.

I did not think it was possible to run on our front 7.

Was an amazing job by Pitts OL and running back.

Le'Veon Bell is scary good as a runner. I've been so used to watching backs run straight into our front but his patience and shifting ability to let blocks develop and find the running lanes was special. Don't think we've faced a running back like him in the regular season in awhile and it certainly caught us off guard.

Wasnt the defense fault that we couldnt score

 

Lol We let in 29 pts on Defense not counting the ST TD. Not giving the defense any blame is ridiculous when the other team was running all over us for most of the game. We failed in all three phases today, but after watching cams post game interview i am not worried that they will get this corrected and be ready for next week.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.
