I'd be curious to see what happens against Seattle week 17 if we are tied with Tampa (win at NO and at home against the Bucs). Since we likely don't get a wildcard because Chicago/GB and SF/LAR/Seattle will all likely have a better record (not to mention possibly Dallas and DET), that game could be meaningless because week 18 at Tampa will decide the division whether we win or lose vs. Seattle. I doubt we rest our starters, but that could be a game we could theoretically rest up key players for the last game of the season. Regardless, if we don't win at NO and sweep Tampa, we aren't making the playoffs. 10-7 won't get it done with how stacked the NFC is.

Can somebody tell DC to only call games like this on offense... established the run, use play action passing, and call some deep shots every now and then

Definitely team MVP. The fact the guy is seeing triple teams at times and still being a force is pretty damn impressive

Not sure I have ever seen a more Jekyll and Hyde football team than the 2025 Carolina Panthers...

The fact we are up three going into the fourth with God knows who on the field because of all the injuries we have is pretty impressive

The entire Rams team gets food poisoning and literally shits their pants during the game

Ben Johnson refused to interview with us. He knew how dysfunctional our franchise was

This is the way. I would still love it if we could trade a 5th to the Giants for Winston in the offseason and then draft somebody like Sam Leavitt or Sawyer Robertson in the 4th.

I'll be surprised if we score 10 points against the Seahawks defense

He probably hasn't spoken to Rico because DC is dumb enough to not think he did anything wrong. Get ready for 60 pass attempts from Bryce next week where he goes 15/60 passing for 102 yards, 1 garbage time TD, and 4 INTs

We will probably end up playing the Rams or Seahawks (whichever one doesn't win the division). AKA - it will be an ugly blowout loss if we miraculously made the playoffs.

I really think we should just rest our starters for the Rams and Seahawks game. 0% chance we win either of them, so might as well rest up and try and be somewhat healthy for the Saints and 2 Bucs games

I think DC is lucky that he followed our 2 worst coaches in franchise history with Rhule and Reich. If he had followed Rivera or Fox (or any competent coach), I think we would all be way more pissed with his coaching. We aren't winning because of him (for the most part) - it's been other teams screwing up in embarrassing fashion (like we did Monday), our defense winning us the game, or Rico just running the ball down the other team's throat. DC has constantly F'd up obvious personnel decisions the entire year and we have needed injuries to happen to get better players on the field...

This Like literally any other QB in the NFL recognizes how open that running lane is and just walks into the end zone. For being proclaimed as a super computer processor, Bryce sure misses obvious things like that way too many times

The play just looked off the entire time. Sanders literally makes a b-line to try and block one of the 49ers guys and then last second switches it to a go route to the back corner of the end zone. Now that I have watched it a few more times, I'm starting to think it was designed for Chuba to pass it. Otherwise, I have no idea why Sanders would do that. Regardless, calling a stupid ass play like that on 3rd and goal is exactly why we struggle to score...

Time for this good ole reliable gif

I also thought Barnes played pretty well yesterday once Cherelus got hurt. Surprised he graded as one of our lowest defenders.

That was a weird play. I assumed it was a designed swing pass to Chuba and he was supposed to block, but the dude ran straight to the endzone like he was running some kind of out breaking route

Wish we would give Curhen more of a chance to play. I think I have seen enough to realize he looks much better at RG than Zavala...

Honestly, your first paragraph is the most disheartening. We are so bad that literally nobody else in our division even cares about us... The freaking saints who have no talent and are in cap Hell don't even realize we exist. That's when you know you are a doormat NFL franchise Also, I doubt the rest of the NFL was rooting for us against the broncos. Everybody was slurping Peyton's nuts wanting him to win another super bowl as he retired. And the refs also made it very clear that game

If this is the game that made you embarrassed to be a Panthers fan, you must be living a good life...

Very accurate description. My only rebuttal is that Dave did nothing to keep the game close. Horn and Mike Jack helped us not give up another 14 or so points

It's funny because I was telling somebody I was at a game watch with that I think we would have had a chance to win early on if we just ran wildcat the entire game with Rico and chuba. After watching the game, I feel more confident in what I said

Was that the 1st penalty on the 49ers tonight?

This right here. DC is as big of a problem as Bryce is
