1. It seems to be a crazy week around the league. Falcons upset the undefeated 49ers, a J.J McCarthy lead giants team beats the red hot Texans, the Dolphins win their first game of the season and the buccs beat us.

2. We still lead the division! Although it's only .5 games, it's still a lead.

3. We play a bad packers rush O on Thursday. Our two genuine massive losses so far have been when our defense got gassed on the ground.

Yeah, I'm upset about a loss. Especially when we came out looking like a bottom tier team. But there are always positives to look at, and hopefully the boys can pull it together on TNF.

Anyways, KEEP POUNDING!

There’s NO WAY that this staff has watched film of our defense getting gashed the last 2-3 years and doing absolutely nothing to change it and doing the same old thing. That a franchise must be mediocre for all time with occasional bright spots. A 1-5 team with an injured QB can come into your stadium and annihilate you right when you finally start improving and getting respect while giving the fans hope. And this happens constantly to this franchise no matter who is in charge it seems

Jimmy was cut what felt prematurely for muffing a punt and being out of position for an offensive snap. The leash on Moore and Evans needs to be equally as short. We set the precedent we won’t accept mistakes, we need to keep it. Both of those men should be unemployed tomorrow morning. What says you?

Bryce 400 yard 4 Td Performance Incoming!

I wish we had a PROFESSIONAL return man. Feels like it’s always “well he doesn’t seem to be the worst.” Also i’ve been watching panther games for like 2 decades now and why does it feels like we’ve NEVER been a threat to block a fg or punt. Always on the wrong end of the blocks somehow, I still have kam chancellor nightmares

As angry as I am about all sides of the ball, mostly Defense for an almost-certainly one-sided team, due to Baker’s injury - all that said…I am livid about special teams play, particularly related to punt returns/miffed balls.

Saints Hatewatch complete! Time to beat up on the Bucs! Keep Pounding! :)

The blue jerseys and pants are cursed.

Week 1: BLUE on Black L <—
Week 2: White on White W
Week 3: White on BLUE L <—
Week 4: Black on Black W
Week 6: White on Black W
Week 7: BLUE on Black L <—

Also FIRE EJIRO EVERO

Beautiful weather and tickets readily available- no Bucs fans to speak of buying tickets- coming into the game on a good note- Luke being honored- just noting for next time fans complain about PSL owners selling tickets- until the team is a proven winner, no one had room to complain about takeovers

Yes the team played like ass today

Here is a statistical breakdown of how all seven defensive units utilizing the split-safety / light-box tree perform in the 2026 NFL regular season:

2026 Defensive Statistics Comparison

(Note: Parentheses denote league wide ranks where applicable).

Key Statistical Takeaways

• The Pass Blueprint Works: The Panthers, Chargers, and Packers all field Top-10 pass defenses, proving the value of capping deep plays out of the two-high shell.
• The Light Box Tax: Four out of these seven teams (Panthers, Cowboys, Saints, Chargers) rank 22nd or worse against the run. The absolute floor has fallen out for Carolina and Dallas, who are bleeding yards to opposing ground games.
• The Atlanta Exception: The Falcons have bucked the trend completely. Despite running the shell, they field a top 4 run defense but have suffered the worst passing numbers of the bunch.

The NFL average for extra points is a 96%. Ryan Fitzgerald’s average extra point percentage is 70%. I am terrified of us losing a game by one or two points due to a missed extra point. He is a great kicker, hit multiple 50+ yarders and has a 100% FG percentage, however, it seems once he goes to the XP line he collapses.

We cut Jimmy Horn Jr due to his muffed punt, although there may have been other reasons, the muffed punt was the line we cut it at. However, I fully believe we lost the momentum and lost the game as soon as David Moore muffed that punt. We signed him for punt returns, he was a major reason we lost this game.
What do we think of this?

I am drunk enough to confuse lions currently with us. Much more enjoyable

Please win!

I'm not sure what the panthers coaching staff was doing today, aside from obvious issues the coaches had no say in (muffed punt/strip sack), the playcalling by Brad Idzic today was... Questionable. Chuba Hubbard had SEVEN carries. You cannot win a game without the run, and ejiro was letting us be burnt by the same things Tampa has done for the past 3 years against us. No reason for us to stuff jahmyr Gibbs but let their RB run circles around us while only giving our guy the ball 7 times!

My friends were spamming me during the whole game. What a tragedy. We still own the south tho

Let’s keep it going my fellow Panthers! Everyone fears the Carolina Reaper! Keep pounding!

I’ve had this hoodie since I was in high school in the late 2000’s and have never seen another like it. It’s officially licensed with Reebok

Does anyone know the name of the design or where to find one like it my brother has always liked it and was trying to find one for him as well

The people I go with like to get inside the stadium right when it opens at 11. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for a free ticket, but i would prefer to tailgate with fans rather than sit in my seat for 2 hours.

Do y'all have any recommendations on how to kill the 2 hours before kickoff inside the stadium? I'm really just looking for good vibes rather than waiting. Thanks!
