Thought it would be a good idea to make this thread again for tonight's game. 

Who Impressed:

-Cam Newton: The guy was on point today. Couple overthrows sure, but you can't blame for the absurd amount of drops tonight. 

-OLine: Once again, giving Cam plenty time to throw. However once Folkerts got injured, the line broke down. Look forward to Kalil coming back.

-1st Team D: I mean wow, we shut Brady down for the 1st half and really looked like a cohesive unit. Even with Star, KK, and CJ out.

-Shaq Thompson: Had some rookie moments but overall had a good game. Seemed to be around the ball a lot. Looking like a great pick so far.

-Kurt Coleman: Awesome pick in the 1st

-Charles Tillman: Peanut forcing turnovers. Hope to hear good news about his head injury.

-Cameron Artis-Payne: I really like the way this guy plays. Excited to see more. (This one was for you @tiger7_88

-Joe Webb: Guy looked like Cam Jr. out there tonight, awesome runs out there.

-Ted Ginn: Just glad I no longer have to worry about punt returns anymore.

-Graham Gano: Has performed well all of preseason. Keep it up.

-Edit: Kony Ealy: Had a nice sack today, good pressure on the QB. Really stepping up his game

Who Depressed:

-Corey Brown: Pretty obvious choice. Hard not to feel a little bad for the guy though. 

-2nd/3rd String OLine: Not a lot of time for Webb or Anderson. Not a big deal, but crazy that some of these guys were competing for starting positions last year. 

-Hands/Catching: Whether it was Brown, Olsen(surprising), Josh Norman, or Bene Benwikere, we just could not seem to hold onto the ball tonight. We hold onto the ball in just a few of those scenarios and this game is a blow out. Easily.

-Panthers fans: Kinda bummed out that I could hear Pats fans cheering and booing towards the end of the game. 

 

Let me know if I missed anyone.

Im impressed, we totally shut down the defending champs, couldnt ask for more. We will be a top 3 D/ The offense still worries but I believe it will come around. I just wonder how long it will take though. We need a strong start to the season.

Yeah first string D really did look great. I think the offense will find its groove soon

Driving home, they were interviewing norman on the radio and he said he got way too excited cuz Janine Garofalo threw the ball right to him..  He said it felt like it took a minute and a half to get to him haha. 

I was impressedwith what I saw tonight.  Besides the drops, the defense played well and the offense moved the ball pretty well

Really, really impressed with our defense. Shut down the reigning Superbowl champs without 3/5 best players. Shaq looks like a beast, I have a feeling we see him in the endzone this year. 

Our WRs, outside of Corey, actually didn't look too bad. Our best starting O-lineman was out and Cam had good time for the most part. 

I think we win the division, but man I'd feel a lot better with KB.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
