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.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
