Can we send a collective "WAKE THE fug UP" message to the Panthers?

The Panthers obviously need a swift kick in the ass from the head coach down to the towel boy. They slept walked through the game against the Lions on Sunday after getting ass-raped by the Steelers the previous week. Rivera inexplicably gives the team the weekend off after one of the most humiliating losses in franchise history, then the team unsurprisingly comes out flat again the next week. Now all I've seen at the press conferences is Ron Rivera and the players STILL exuding this bullshit "everything is fine" attitude with the season quickly slipping away from their grasp. A loss to Seattle this weekend drops them out of the playoff picture.

Can we as a fanbase send them a collective WAKE THE fug UP AND WIN message? I think they need it. This team needs to get angry before the season is lost.

Couldn’t hurt.

Fans can do whatever they want to support the team, of course.

But when it comes to the players, if the desire to win, the fact that this is their job and the hefty paychecks they're getting aren't motivation enough, they should probably be replaced.

If the team needs a wake up call that the coaching staff can't provide, then the coaching staff needs to go.

The fact that’s Ron wasn’t pissed about the Steelers game made me very concerned. The angriest thing he said was “poo happens”.

I think we needed to loose a little hate to say it but we play our best football when we have to or our Back to thevwskm mentality. So bring we started off hit not really normal of a Ron team we've relaxed like Ron does with a 10 point lead and cruised a little basically how our offense performs with a minimal lead I see similarities. Now Teppers about to heat his seat up behind closed doors because the new owners got good management skills it seems. And presto aggressive smart desperate but organized Ron will show up.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
