Losing to Minny and Tampa at home is nothing to cough at. Minny has been said to be one of the toughest places to play in the league and Tampa is almost as good as us at home. With that said I have nothing to say about the Atlanta lost, I think we should have beaten them.

We came out flat and they were able to take advantage (credit to them). We did work our way back to down 24-21 in the 4th. Then a Godfey (or Marshall) slip let them get 'goal to go' where they took 4 downs to score. The punt return and onside kick made the score more lop-sided. In the end, they won and deserved the win.

We are not a bad road team. 3-3 in this league is not bad. Its not great, but its not bad. We are a great home team.

And fwiw, of all our road losses, Minnesota was the one we should have won. Half time lead, and We shut down Peterson. Lost to Gus Ferrotte.

Atlanta is a good team and we had no reason to expect we would beat them in their place.

We could have beaten Minnesota. The fumble did us in, and like in Tampa we were overall "out of it" that day. Moreover, in Tampa Murphy's Law played an integral part in the loss. Atlanta pretty much beat us soundly. The Falcons were motivated, and we weren't.

That game actually woke us up out of a funk, and now we are playing at an optimal level which should bode well for this weekend.

I didnt see where we were called a "bad road team", maybe I missed the posts.

3 road losses, all to playoff teams with a combined 17-2 home record...inexcusable.

Road wins are tough to come by. In the NFL if you can go .500 on the road your doing pretty damn good, and your gona make the playoffs 90% of the time.

biggest complaint about us is that we have lost a couple games on the road.

considering that it has only been three...our only three losses....and that those losses were before we got things clicking, i can live with that.

panthers always have something to prove.

this week panthers have to prove 3 things:

1) they can win an away game against a good team

2) they can win in the snow

3) they deserve the #1 seed and are the best team in the NFC

panthers play best when they have something to prove.

there it is.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Sanders and seeing if he could be developed here. We have zero plans, and I really don't think it would take Sanders long to produce more than Bryce has. Plus, he's on a 5th round rookie contract and if he became the guy, you instantly have three years to build a core of talent, much of which we already have.  I get flamed for this opinion but it is what it is, and I've been right about these type of things the past three years.  I said Nix would be a good NFL QB. Wanted to keep Darnold and trade down in 2023. Said QB play wasn't the QB's fault under Rhule, but rather the offensive design.  Give me Sanders in the room for a year with Bryce and Dalton, see what he can develop in to on the cheap. There are no really quality QB's coming out this year that aren't Allar or Manning, and Manning may not even be coming out.

      basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to.  no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR.  you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.
