Then why draft him If Rhule values conditioning and versatility, that’s not Brown

Panthers must have zero brain farts …no dropped passes, no missed kicks, no stupid penalties No dumb ass coaching mistakes No punting from the 33 Rhule has to be a NFL coach, not a Div 1 coach …of everything, that to me is the biggest concern I can’t stand Payton and I feel he should have been banned forever for that bounty crap but he is 20 times the NFL Coach Rhule is …that, to me, is where this game is won and lost….can Rhule Snow. Brady match up against Payton and coaches in game plan ..and that is probably why the 3.5 point spread something else too, putting in that turf, helps NO and Atlanta, they play on it…they don’t play on it, however, when it’s a 120 degrees on it which it surely will be Sunday with the temp at 90 and humidity at 70 plus Maybe that helps the Panthers ill be there and if there is one team I despise above all others, it is the Saints

They exist only when they win

Lol exactly and that has to be the stupidest chant in the NFL.

Yep. Read it was about 120 on the field and that’s brutal my seats are in the shade on panthers side 35 yard line but even though it said 86 on the scoreboard, I felt pretty bad for the people on the sun side I can’t imagine how hot it was for those players in pads down there

Bingo

Santoso waived

In the NFL, 50 yard kicks are normal these days Rhule routinely trotted Slye out for plus 50 kicks.

That’s kinda of how the stadium felt, that was a bad decision, but when you are in the stadium you don’t always know what the decisions are or why …so thank you and everyone

I was at the game yesterday Couldn’t believe the decision but I never heard the rationale fot it could someone share it please? thanks

The message that coaching punt decision sent with the ball on the Jets 33 yard line, not a good one …the same with not playing for 4 quarters the Saints will offer a true barometer on the Panthers and Rhule and staff Payton has owned the Panthers for years and I hate that bastard and the Saints and their fans

Exactly right next week, we will have a much better barometer on Rhule and his staff Payton is the real deal in pro football ….hate the bastard though I do….

At stadium Rhule sucks

Exactly right I don’t care if he says ‘as shucks’ around his Momma i care about winning

It is interesting how writers see this team I’m expecting 7 and 10 as well. Hope I’m wrong

https://www.derp/2021/9/8/22661693/nfl-carolina-panthers-boldly-specific-win-loss-prediction-for-the-2021-season?fbclid=IwAR26uS4aWAFaGo31pPliAFxW-zZU6sZ3Gx8JYQXigfcesNcMyJmmXtFysh4 It’s that time of year again for each of us to predict the Panthers record before the season begins. Last year I predicted a 5-11 record in Matt Rhule’s first year and I nailed it. While I accurately guessed the Panthers five-win season I only correctly picked two of their wins - Week 11 against the Lions and Week 16 versus the Football Team - when looking at my week-by-week predictions. Here’s my forecast for the 2021 season. I’m now officially on the record that the Panthers will go 7-10 this year. Now it’s your turn to do the same and put your win-loss predictions in the comments. Week 1 vs New York Jets - Win (1-0). There’s no better way starting off a new season than a home game against a rookie quarterback and a new opposing head coach. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold is pumped up for the ultimate revenge game. As a BYU alum I’m the co-conductor of the Zach Wilson hype train - along with Tony Romo - and the future Hall of Famer will throw for 365 yards in his NFL debut but still wind up with the loss. Week 2 vs New Orleans Saints - Loss (1-1). Yes, they’ve lost Drew Brees, but the Saints still have a talented roster and a top coaching staff. BYU’s Taysom Hill will replace a shaky Jameis Winston in the second half and lead the Saints on a game-winning two-minute drive. (Okay, I’ll stop with the BYU homerism). Week 3 at Houston Texans - Win (2-1). The Texans without Deshaun Watson could very well be the worst team in the NFL. Jaycee Horn’s first career pick-six is the turning point in Carolina’s first road win of the season. Week 4 at Dallas Cowboys - Loss (2-2). The Cowboys deep receiving corps shreds the Panthers corners while Ezekiel Elliott reminds us Jermaine Carter Jr. isn’t the long-term solution at middle linebacker. Dallas scores somewhere between 35 and 42 points in a blowout win. Week 5 vs Philadelphia Eagles - Win (3-2). Carolina returns home to win a 13-10 defensive slugfest featuring lots and lots of punts. Brian Burns records 2.5 sacks as the Panthers defense bottles up Jalen Hurts. Minnesota Vikings - Loss (3-3). This one hurts. A back-and-forth contest ultimately goes to overtime where Ryan Santoso misses a field goal before the Vikings seal the deal. Week 7 at New York Giants - Loss (3-4). In a matchup between two equally below-average teams, the Giants ride the home crowd to a 28-27 win. After two frustratingly close losses in back-to-back weeks, Panthers fans lament how they could just be sitting at 5-2 instead of 3-4. Week 8 at Atlanta Falcons - Win (4-4). Christian McCaffrey exceeds 100 yards both rushing and receiving as the Panthers put together their most complete game of the season in a blowout win on the road against a division rival. Week 9 vs New England Patriots - Loss (4-5). Rookie quarterback Mac Jones outplays Sam Darnold and Panthers fans start to justifiably criticize GM Scott Fitterer for drafting a cornerback at No. 8 (Jaycee Horn) over quarterbacks Justin Fields (No. 11) and Jones (No. 15). Through nine games Darnold has proven to be good enough to keep the Panthers competitive, but not great enough to be their true franchise quarterback. Week 10 at Arizona Cardinals - Loss (4-6). Carolina loses a close, entertaining, high-scoring road game between two fairly evenly matched teams. Week 11 vs Washington Football Team - Win (5-6). Despite having a top tier defense, coach Ron Rivera dials up an uber-conservative game plan which allows the Panthers to keep things close until late. A late Washington punt from inside the Panthers 50 yard line sets up Carolina’s game-winning drive. Week 12 at Miami Dolphins - Loss (5-7). Carolina goes on the road and drops a tough game to a Dolphins team that is on course for a double-digit win season and a playoff appearance. Week 13 - Bye week Week 14 vs Atlanta Falcons - Win (6-7). Coming off the bye week the Panthers coaching staff responds with a great game plan. Sam Darnold passes for over 300 yards, Christian McCaffrey gets over 200 scrimmage yards, and the defense sacks Matt Ryan six times in a 17-point win. Week 15 at Buffalo Bills - Loss (6-8). Carolina gets manhandled by the “Panthers North” as Josh Allen’s name is in the thick of the MVP discussion and the Bills are gunning for a first round playoff bye. Week 16 vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Loss (6-9). The defending Super Bowl champs are locked and loaded on a championship repeat. The Panthers fight hard but lose a close one at home to their more experienced, more talented NFC South rivals. Week 17 at New Orleans Saints - Win (7-9). With the playoffs out of reach, a host of Panthers fans will be annoyed when Carolina wins against the Saints because it will hurt their 2022 draft position. But Jameis Winston will throw four picks in this one as the Panthers defense rises to the occasion. Week 18 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Loss (7-10). With playoff seeding still on the line, the Bucs pick apart the Panthers for the second time in three weeks. I’m not overly optimistic about the team this year because of a shaky offensive line and I don’t view Sam Darnold as an above average quarterback. The combination of poor protection for a ho-hum quarterback will largely negate the talent of Carolina’s solid skill players. Defensively, the front four will be solid but the linebackers and secondary will generally struggle in coverage. Panthers opponents will be able to pick apart the defensive with underneath throws and screen passes that neutralize the pressure the front four will generate. But for now, I’m just happy Panthers football is back! I hope they prove me wrong and have a much better season than the 7-10 record I’m predicting. Nothing would make me happier than at the end of the season for me to admit, “I was wrong.” Keep pounding!

Yeah, that’s not saying a lot if he is our ‘best interior lineman’ and he could infect others in a very close physical sport frankly, if I’m the owner of a billion dollar sports team, I try and find a way to move him I can’t see risking 51 other players plus all the staff for a guy that wouldn’t be third string on a decent team.

One thing about overriding the big boss, you (in this case Rhule) best be right

The Jets HC, along with every other HC, will blitz and pressure Darnold all day. The film throughout Darnold’s career doesn’t lie

Matt Rhule ‘trust the process’ hard to believe his limited time in the NFL was with the oline. oh well

Depressing it will be very interesting as tape shows how ‘pass rush’ adverse Darnold is…happy feet etc. Don’t know if he has ‘David Carr’ syndrome or not We will find out soon enough In Darnold’s favor, lesser competition first couple of weeks but expect Saleh to bring pressure often

I don’t have to be a fan of someone or a team to appreciate and give credit for athletic greatness. It hurts me not at all to appreciate things he has done for Charlotte, or any athlete, in any sport, for that matter Darnold is the new ‘face of the franchise’ and that’s why he is brought up. QBs are supposed to be the leaders….so, I think it is appropriate for many, fans of the team all, that Darnold, seemingly lacking in flamboyance, should suit fans to a T

The five win team could have gotten Rhule Fields. He made his bed, one way or another

I can honestly say, in 20 plus years of being at the stadium, there was nothing like the Luke and Cam show on Sundays. I’m glad I got to see it. I doubt fans will see the like again grateful I got to see it for awhile

Yeah, dabbing, that’s why he won the MVP, and for several years before injuries, was ranked by his nfl peers in the top 10 players in the NFL along with millions in charity raised and given away He isn’t the one stirring up controversy Fans own prejudices do and I’m not talking about only race . I would submit that there are far worse literal crimes and criminals among NFL players than not fitting the conformist mold of what a QB should be but cheer up, Darnold checks every box in lacking controversy unless you count the over use of ‘yeah’, ‘like’ and ‘you know’ in his interviews He should fit the non controversial mold just fine
