Me: Can we have a healthy offense? Football Gods: No

Those Cardinals uniforms are utterly hideous. Who thought making them look dirty is a good look?

Holy moley. The entire D line came for Lamar there.

Gutsy call. Great execution.

That Ravens run D is not looking good out there tonight.

Zavala's pass grade... was he really that bad?

It's like the injury slider for any player that wears a Panthers jersey gets moved up.

Nick Bosa done for the year. Unfortunate but the 49ers window has already closed in my book. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nick-bosa-out-for-2025-season-with-torn-acl

Wilson: Brian, are they booing me? Daboll: No, they're saying Skatte-boo. Skatte-boo.

How many moonballs will Wilson throw tonight? Yes.

Trading Thielen is really biting us in terms of production. O-line took major hits. Coker is down. XL is looking completely lost. It's almost like we're trying to replicate 2023 again but it may be even worse because T-Mac, while having more potential, can't be relied on as much. But when you win 30-0 and you avoid the catastrophes from the first two weeks, you take the W and move on. Besides, QB stat lines leaguewide are kind of getting ugly. There's a few outliers but everything is so dinky dunky nowadays. YPA's are so far away from the days we had constant 50+ point games.

To think he went nuts against the Cowboys. Then again, Caleb just had a career day against them too. Hmm.

We could be a Super-Bowl looking team or utter hot garbage... but slaughtering the Falcons is always welcome no matter what.

Okay, Panthers. You gave me a reason to actually come back here.

Don't really have expectations other than I'd refrain myself from looking in here post-game if it gets ugly. Conversely, I'll shake my head if I start seeing people thinking we're Super Bowl bound. This team ultimately is still missing depth and experience.

The Chargers didn't Chargers it? Is that legal?

Reminder: Our mascot is a black cat. Trade what had been our most reliable WR's. His direct successor gets hurt afterwards. It's Panthers tradition.

They must really be comfortable enough with Coker stepping into Thielen's shoes and T-Mac's development to where he'll definitely be getting plenty of targets now. If they think BY and our three young receivers will be the nucleus of our long term future, then might as well do this now and learn to play together.

It's probably like trying to go back to college as an adult. Once you're been away too long, it's incredibly difficult to push yourself to the same level as before and sustain it.

I became a fan of this team when we had Smith/Moose/Proehl. That was over twenty years ago and that's still the high water mark. Moore/Samuel had potential but boy, we absolutely fell off a cliff after that.

Yeah, something tells me Renfrow just wasn't in good enough football shape to warrant using up a roster spot. Like to think he was still helpful in camp showing our younger players how to run routes.

What a shocker. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/browns-release-wr-diontae-johnson

My best wishes, good sir.

Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks

If the idea is for Renfrow to take Thielen's place... I'd feel more comfortable if I felt Renfrow can actually play an entire season of football. Again, what are we getting in return? Just saying if we got a fourth for Mingo...
