Injured early, then behind KB, Funchess and Shephard on the depth chart. Getting him on the field more was part of thinking behind trading KB away.

11/5/2017 2:53:02 PM

injured in camp and the preseason? not able to get chemistry with his QB who didn't play in the preseason?

11/5/2017 2:53:08 PM

what an idiotic decision to pick up the Panthers TE off the waiver wire today

11/5/2017 3:00:55 PM

ron is a pussy

11/5/2017 3:04:39 PM

they should've spotted the ball about a foot closer to the line and not charged us a timeout. bullshit.

11/5/2017 3:05:55 PM

Can we close out a game comfortably once?

11/5/2017 3:54:38 PM

Still not feeling this season, offense is just too inconsistent, but that one felt good. Fuck the Falcons.

11/5/2017 4:11:19 PM

If we can just hold on and win most of our games until Olsen and Kalil get back maybe we can find some consistency.

11/5/2017 4:56:46 PM

Well, we get Miami at home on Monday night next week. That should be a W unless the wheels totally fall off. Then we get a bye, and I think Olsen will be eligible to return @NY Jets. Then we go to NO with the division possibly on the line. That will be a huge game.

Just got back from the game.

Haven't stopped laughing from the Julio drop.

11/5/2017 10:01:17 PM

Solid crowd turnout...NOT!

Shepard is garbage.

2 drops and almost caused an interception.

so grudens just gonna ignore the helmet to helmet hit on that thomas touchdown?

11/13/2017 9:48:47 PM

This is a fun game.

11/13/2017 10:42:03 PM

looking like a complete team

11/14/2017 12:38:52 AM

just a shame that this season was already lost due to the GM change before a single snap

11/14/2017 12:54:57 AM

I'm not gonna get too hype about beating the raging trash fire Dolphins but that was definitely the best we've looked all season. We're back to running a lot of read option which has gotten the run game going. Cam was great at the line of scrimmage last night.

11/14/2017 9:29:47 AM

10-6 is probably what we need although it might take 11-5. We have the bye this week hopefully a few teams will take a L. Atlanta vs Seahawks guarantees one competitor takes one at least. Jets and Tampa should be easy wins and hopefully Rodgers isnt back for the GB game. The other 3 are gonna be pretty tough so still a lot of work to do but sitting in a decent position.

11/14/2017 9:49:00 AM

Sucks that we lost Samuel

11/14/2017 2:15:48 PM

Eh, Damiere Byrd should be back in a couple weeks (He's eligible to return the first week of December) so the Panthers will just have to deal with not having a fast guy who can't catch.

11/14/2017 2:45:55 PM

Yeah season ending surgery to IR. Sigh, he was just starting to heat up these last couple games too. McCaffrey, Moton, and Armah are now the only members of the 2017 draft class who are still active and on the team. A player who can run a 4.4 40 and catch a football needs to be a priority this off-season.

Looks like we won the KB trade

11/19/2017 6:28:41 PM

we won it even without him being damaged goods

Hard to believe we knew something about Benjamin that Buffalo didn't, considering their coach and GM were both with Carolina since the day he was drafted here. Still, it does seem like we saw the writing the wall and were lucky to get valuable draft pick for him.

11/20/2017 3:26:42 PM

offense just so wildly inconsistent this year

11/26/2017 2:55:39 PM

It's really weird watching a team that call pull games out of its ass

I'll take the win, but man, that was not pretty. Lucky the Jets are the Jets. Gotta hope that was some post bye week rust because that performance will get us blown out in New Orleans next week.

One bit of good news, sounds like pulling Greg out was precautionary due to soreness in the foot. The reporting made it sound like it was reinjured which would probably have meant IR.

11/26/2017 4:41:39 PM

newton's thumb could have been affecting him today, hopefully him and olsen are good for next game

11/26/2017 6:23:06 PM

Rare Rivera win coming off the Bye.

But December Ron:

11/27/2017 1:22:00 AM

Olsen is practicing so it looks like the foot was fine. Starting to feel pretty hopeful about this team going down the stretch. When it comes to post-season experience, no current NFC contender has more than us. If the offense can put together a string of good games to finish the regular season here I'll feel even better.

[Edited on November 29, 2017 at 2:21 PM. Reason : .]

11/29/2017 2:21:10 PM

^I wouldn't say that at all.

Drew Brees has a SB Title
Falcons were in SB last year and have a lot of players that went to NFC Title game a few years ago.

Over Conference leaders yes we have more playoff experience and I like the Panthers chances to make the playoffs and possibly make some noise, but lets beat the 'Aints first.

11/29/2017 2:35:10 PM

I'll give you Atlanta, but how many current Saints were on their Super Bowl team? When is the last time the Saints even made the playoffs?

[Edited on November 29, 2017 at 2:46 PM. Reason : .]

11/29/2017 2:45:58 PM

we have more playoff experience than both the Saints and the Falcons and it’s not really all that close

11/29/2017 2:47:34 PM

Brees and Payton bring a wealth of experience not to be discounted, but you're right they may be the only two that were on the last playoff team.

The Falcons do have similar postseason experience, but that can be negated if they are a wild card team and have to leave the comfort of their dome, especially traveling to a place where weather can be a factor.

11/29/2017 3:26:12 PM

I care less about postseason experience(outside of QB and HC) than I care about who has homefield advantage.

Going to NO in the playoffs is going to be a tough win for any NFC team.

11/29/2017 3:29:08 PM

I'm not super optimistic about playing the Saints this week. But if we do win, then I think it energizes us all the way through to at least one home playoff game.

11/29/2017 9:55:28 PM

CJ suspended four games for PEDs. Not what we needed going into the home stretch

12/1/2017 12:51:14 PM

No, but Johnson hasn't been much more than a JAG for a couple years now. On the year he has 0 sacks and only 4 solo tackles. Hurts from a depth perspective but I don't mind Peppers playing more snaps, we've used him pretty judiciously up to now.

12/1/2017 2:21:37 PM

Panthers defense sucks

12/3/2017 5:29:19 PM

well peppers being a total dumbass

12/3/2017 5:29:43 PM

It feels like we are throwing this game intentionally

[Edited on December 3, 2017 at 5:44 PM. Reason : fumble and CMC TD later and we're back in it]

12/3/2017 5:34:45 PM

Analytical Ron taking 2 timeouts into halftime.

12/3/2017 5:57:03 PM

Yeah, I don't get that either. Granted with our receivers the likelihood of a big play to get down the field is pretty slim.

12/3/2017 6:04:13 PM

Worst no call I've ever seen on that play where Cam was sacked.

It was clearly offsides by the defense, but even if the refs were too blind to see that, they should have called false start when 3 panthers linemen jumped up and pointed.
