Predict what the Panthers narrative will be one week from today.

Losing to the Rams is understandable. But we need to win the next one to avoid the pressure of potentially being 0-3.

Not just for our game but several preseason favorites, I think the story will be "you should play the starters more in the preseason so they don't look so rusty in the first game of the regular season"

Why did we let Aaron Donald commit murder on the field sunday?

Panthers set to bring in kickers for auditions.

Cam is going to wear out his arm if they ask him to throw for 400+ Every Damn Game!

"Contrary to the fears (and expectations) that many NFL experts -- including many Panther fans -- expressed before the game, Aaron Donald and the vaunted Rams did NOT sack the "injury-prone" Cam Newton into an early retirement.

Quite the opposite occurred, as Newton efficiently carved up the aging Rams' secondary, while being adequately protected (only one sack) by his maligned OL.  Passing TDs to Greg Olsen, Curtis Samuel, and Jarius Wright showed that Newton's repaired shoulder is A-OK.

New place-kicker Joey Slye  made 3 of 4 FG attempts, relieving concerns of some that his pre-season success wouldn't last, once the games were for real.

The 37-17 final score didn't fully indicate the one-sidedness of the game,, as the Panthers scored 2 1Q TDs, and never looked back.

Now the 'experts' have to reassess the opinion that the Panthers would be lucky to win 8 games this season."

In all seriousness, if it doesn’t go well the board will be imploding on the DBs and OL....and Ron. 

If we win? It could be an ugly game.  Doesn’t really matter. The optimist will be see the bright side.

Didn't game plan?

Straight hilarious but @bigdavis everything you just said is how I feel the line stands up with a lot of TE or FB help but we just do our thing control the game and get discredited bc of the circumstances facing the Rams. Burns gets off with two sacks and a fumble DROTW nominee.

Depends on who you talk to...

if we win fans will say the Panthers will win the South

ESPN and other outlets will say the Rams have a SB hangover and the Panthers aren’t that good

 

If we lose fans will demand that Tepper fire everyone after just one game

ESPN and other outlets will say the Panthers stink... we told you so
