2-5 PANTHERS

Cam Newton's postgame wardrobe might've been ridiculously over-the-top, but his postgame commentary was not. Ever since the season-opener, the Panthers' franchise quarterback has absorbed blows that modern rules certainly don't allow (even if the game-day refs do). Newton's tone wasn't whiny, nor was it to be mixed in the same bowl as his post-Super Bowl attitude. Just because he's huge for a QB and occasionally runs doesn't make these hits OK. Oh, impressive job by the Panthers' defense on Sunday.

Elliot Harrison is one of my new favorites from the corporate network.

If we somehow win the rest of our games or only lose once or something, we could be right back in the top 5. Let's see if our defense can continue to play that well and see if the offense can play with minimal penalties, we know they can put up points on anyone. We actually have a top 10 offense in multiple categories: 

- 9th in the league in passing yards per game 

- 5th in the league for rushing yards per game 

- 4th in the league for points per game 

Panthers defense is ranked : 

-27th in the league for points against (28 PPG for opponents ) 

Although to be fair that Falcons game is single-handedly skewing the PPG for opponents

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
