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.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
