This is what ive noticed the most.  Even earlier in the game when the score was closer chubba would consistently run for 5-10 yards a carry and Canales would immediately start passing the ball. Bizzare play calling considering Chubba has been the only productive offensive player we've had thus far

I'm listening to the game because of work. Is Diontae Johson playing? He hasn't done much this game for some reason 

This is so baffling to me. They were beating these dudes up running the ball. Right up the gut. Chuba goes the distance…. They haven’t found a way to slow him down yet. He could easily be at 75 yards already. And then they go full on air mail? 

Did Tepper insert some plays he wanted run? This is so opposite to the last 2 weeks. Something is very different.

Horn is the least of our problems on defense…

Horn is the most talented player out there on D and it's not even close

[The Lobo]

People are saying out Bryce in?? If they think Dalton looks bad, Bryce wouldn’t even come close to this.

Someone give me the cliff notes on this first half please. Stats look like Bryce is playing.

It’s the Fitterer bowl. It’s basically the Panthers (team he built) versus the Bears (where he sent our trash). It’s funny that we would would take each individual piece of that trade over Young now:

2023 pick 9, 2023 2nd rounder, 2024 pick 1, DJ Moore and 2025 pick 33.

Somehow we traded it all. SMH.

Remember Fitt's motto? In on every deal!! He was in a lot of deals but there isn't a single deal that he got right. What a buffoon he was, he set this franchise back decades.

Draft a DE next draft then let Canales work another year. Start fresh in 2026.

Ejiro Evero talks about Panthers’ familiar free-agent signings (usatoday.com)

Quote

 

Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who was retained through the transition into new head coach Dave Canales, spoke with reporters on Thursday afternoon. He was asked about a few of the front office’s free-agent signings, particularly the ones he has a history with.

“The first part is that those guys are all very, very good football players,” Evero said. “They’re smart, they’re tough, they’re instinctive, they play hard, they’re great teammates. So from that standpoint, they uplift their team.”

Evero will be reunited with linebacker Josey Jewell, whom he coached as the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator in 2022, as well as defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson and safeties Jordan Fuller and Nick Scott—his guys over from the Los Angeles Rams days. They’ll all look to add to the defense that allowed the fourth-fewest total yards in 2023.

They gave him a miniscule budget and told him to make it work - so he picked up players from the absolute bottom of the bargain bin that had played for him before. 

You don't think he actually wants his starting LBs to be Thompson and Jewell, right? I can't even name the starting DL, they're that poor. 

Lets not forget that we passed over Ryan Poles, their GM in favor of Scott Fitterer because Fitt was able to joke back and forth with Rhule and Tep. And he Fleeced us on the trade that now has us devoid of talent. FUGGG Lol

You cant make this crap up

It was a compliment . Jaycee is a lock down corner and putting the league on notice this year .

Yeah.  He got guys he wanted within the structure and budget we were operating under.   

we went into the season knowing we had zero pass rush and were questionable across the board.  Evero being able to have influence of which items in the discount bin he preferred….isn’t roster control.

Dan Morgan went into the season with this roster.  The plan was to get the O out of the gutter.  If they did that….the D was always setup to be the fall guy. 

This is a historically bad defense. If you don't think the man in charge of it deserves some blame then I don't know what to tell you.

What's Tepper's next colossal jackass move? Last year it was throwing a drink on a fan. Maybe he'll swing on somebody this time. Hopefully Alex Pereira.

Bears QB (which they got to us) and their Wide Receiver (which they got from us) is dominating.

He'll be the next player to leave Charlotte because we don't actually like having good players on this roster.
