If the offense comes out and gives the team an early lead that neutralizes Barkley getting to run wild, I see them having at least a chance. Just given how badly the Giants beat the Panthers last year I think they have to put forth a better effort. But this is Matt Rhule's Panthers we're talking about. They'll probably lay a f*cking egg.

sign me up to have a QB with the quality of aaron rodgers and I'll be on board with the possibility of that happening.

If the Panthers beat the Giants 38-0 on Sunday like they did in 2013 to exorcise their demons, I will have some hope. It's more likely they lose 38-0 unfortunately.

Matt Rhule's Panthers don't beat competent head coaches and Brian Daboll is competent.

I have to guess privately, yes. I think that was evidenced by him having to patch things up with Cam last season. Publicly, no. He’s still driving the Rhule train to the 5th layer of hell.

Good thing they got a huge stadium ready for an NFL team and Tepper won’t have to pony up any more cash for that. Makes lots of sense.

They won’t go 0-17. I’m thinking around 4-13

He’s more qualified than Rhule was

What do you expect? He was like 64 when this trash franchise gave him his NFL first defensive coordinator position. Is it any surprise it has been a failure?

I was just agreeing with you haha

Panthers almost blew it in this game, played very similar to the way the Broncos played against the Seahawks on Monday night. Except Gano made this FG. A bittersweet memory.

Just because there is a law on the books, doesn't mean it is enforced.

RBs playing the Panthers defense are a must start every week. It's been proven over and over that Snow's defense can't stop the run.

welcome to yesterday's news everyone

Considering we live in a country where our politicians are openly bribed, I have even less confident our sports leagues are "fair" either.

It used to be a fun outlet to enjoy with my friends and family. The past few seasons it’s become something I take out my frustrations on.

He’s a bust. Shi Smith beat him out. Trash.

I just could never see Sean Payton being willing to work for David Tepper.

They never really gave him a shot. He got hurt and they just kept rolling with Elflein per the article. If the bad snaps and poor performance continues they have to put him in.

I mean to say 12 on running plays. Icky doesn't need the extra TE to help him on running plays. I guess that depends if they considered Ricci a FB or TE but he only played 12 snaps. My problem is they ran 2 personnel groupings and they ran for 55 yards. They could have run 21 personnel with Ricci at FB and Foreman at RB and pound the rock. The only reason the Panthers were even remotely in that game was due to mistakes in the Cleveland secondary. The Thomas 50 yard gain, Robbie's TD, both breakdowns in the secondary.

They ran 12 personnel on most plays. Just crazy they never changed it.

Sounds like when Rivera was forced to play Andrew Norwell over for Amini Silatolu and Nate Chandler.

on running plays????

So can we just call a spade a spade and say this is a dumb team run by dumb people?

LOL jesus christ, we're f*cked
