How about you focus on your own internal locus of control and not get so worked up about fans complaining that they feel the media is underrating their team.

I've been a Panthers fan for too long to start licking my chops at the idea of a backup starting against us. That game vs. the Cowboys when Tony Romo started for the first time and lit us up still lingers in the memory.

From the article: It's hard to get a good read on the Panthers after the Jets and Saints made a lot of mistakes in the matchups against them and Sam Darnold simply did what he needed playing off Christian McCaffrey and the aggressive young defense. But that does look like a pretty good formula for wild card-targeted success.

I mean this is the type of game football is. If we convert those chances early in the game and win comfortably no one would be talking about questioning Rhule and Brady. Just like how a quarterback is only as good as his kicker, so too is play calling only as good as its execution. I find no issue with what Rhule is saying here.

This game ain't getting forfeited I feel it in my bones.

They are, hence the "We'll be just fine" line.

They don't have breezy anymore and all that saints love from the media has to go somewhere.

Falcons and Saints losing today would feel great.

A win is a win.

We should absolutely not lose to this team. But we all know that we'll make it interesting still.

I'm pretty sure his job description is just to say off the wall nonsense to get people to tune to watch his co-host(s) tear him a new one. Also what's up with his eyes in the thumbnail?

12 sacks against the Jets incoming

Currently imagining the Panthers having both the OPOY and DPOY and I'm trying really hard to temper my expectations.

Not sure on the actual stats of this, but it seems like most punts end in fair catches anyway. No need to send our best receiver back there.

The mindset is that being ranked 6th in the NFC is better than being ranked 16th so I’d rather be closer to 6 than 16?

Here's to being closer to 6 than 16.

Our very own Sam Darnold

I mean, if we're talking new panthers shirts, 704 Shop has a pretty cool one coming out tomorrow.

Yes, I am aware of that. But the protocols for unvaccinated players who catch covid are much stricter than for vaccinated players who catch covid. This is due to the fact that the vaccine drastically cuts down on severity of symptoms and ease of spread. Also, nice scare quotes around the word vaccinated. Do us all a favor and get your anti-vax nonsense out of here would ya?

Those unvaxxed players better hope they don't cause any forfeitures.

This board would not have been a pretty place if this happened to us.

Can always count on you to find the bright side in any situation lmao.

It's too early to come to any conclusion is my point.
