Washington has no business having a job. This wasn't just getting beat soundly, this was being inept. There is no excuse to give up that many points that easily.

CMC is our best offensive player. Dude single-handedly carried us on our drives.

Our offensive line is not prepared to face elite level pass rushing. 

Our DBs are not prepared to face elite level receivers across the board. Juju and AB are tough draws, and that leaves space for TEs and slot guys. 

Ron Rivera has to see that his conservative, hold onto the ball strategy is three decades ago, not current year NFL. The Steelers did what we should be doing, hang as many points as you can, demoralize the other team, rest your starters for most of the 4th quarter. Also, in terms of bad decision making, leaving your starters on the field in a blowout to possibly get hurt. If Cam had been injured in that, I'd be calling for Rivera's head. As it stands, I'll settle for Washington walking back to Charlotte and then clearing his office out.


Tough game on a short week. Lick our wounds, fire Washington, and Rivera needs to hand Norv the keys to all offensive strategy and be the acting DC. Get ready for Detroit.

Defense is straight trash

KK Shorts face need to be on the back of a milk Carton 

We cant get to the QB which leads to

Our DC is trash..........rushing 2?!?! Hahahahaha thats about as bad as gameplanning rushing only 3 vs the worst OL in football where the QB has gotten Killed this year, and letting Eli sit all day untouched and keep it a game

Our DL gave Big Ben Dam near 10 seconds and created holes so big Trent Richardson couldve found them and 2016 Tolbert wouldve got through untouched

 

 

The OL showed they wernt quite as good as we thought.  Cant block elite rushers and cant figure out a blitz to save their life, but hey who can blame them when they are practicing agaknst only 2-3 man rushing schemes vs 7

 

Cam despite getting murdered had a Good game

CMC is a weapon.

 

And some coaches seats are going to be hot

 

Tepper talked all week showing up at practice how important this game is to him, then go out and embarrass him like that with possibly the worst azzkicking this team has ever had

Serious here not being a dick....

Have you actually analyzed this team objectively to include the new DC, OC, existing HC and his philosophy. 
OL, DL

What we truly know: The record says 6-3 but reality tells me this is a 4-5 team without a miracle field goal and epic collapse by the Eagles. The Panthers will probably not make the playoffs unless the defense is replaced by the 2013 defense

It's still just one game... I know it sucks bad, but trying be an optimist, it's better it happen now if it means fixing the defense than to happen in January.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
