2-0 canadian bitches. Now we get 2 home payoff games

What’s the best way to get tickets to a home game in BOA Stadium for 5 people without getting ripped off?

Also, what are the options for game day parking?

So with Payton Wilson getting regular snaps (even a team high snap count vs the Texans) on the Steelers, one of the best defenses in the league, what’s our overreaction to not selecting him in the draft when we had the option to in the third round? Trevin Wallace is young and still has a high ceiling, but wanted to get everyone’s week 5 overreaction to that draft pick.

Basically the title. If they perform well against the bears swiss cheese O-line I think we'll be fine.

I am not confident in their ability to play fine though.

Anyone got something to quiet my fears?

According to Joe Person of The Athletic:

"After the Panthers managed 13 points in getting outscored by 60 the first two weeks, Canales — along with Morgan and Tilis — benched Young, which Tepper signed off on*, according to a source who was granted anonymity so that he could speak freely. The move paid immediate dividends. In his first start — a 36-22 win at Las Vegas — Dalton became the first QB this year to throw for 300 yards and three TDs. In two games under Dalton, the Panthers are in the top six in the league in scoring and total yards after ranking last in both categories while Young was behind center."*

I’m in Charlotte and would like to stay around the South End, Plaza Midwood, or NoDa area. It would be great to hang out with other Panthers fans. Thanks!

So I have been a panthers fan for my whole life, and besides pre season I have never been to a regular season game. I bought some nice tickets for me and my mom to the saints game in November, and I was wondering what’s the best tailgate to do pre game? We’re going to be dropped off so something close so we can walk to the stadium afterwords.

Panthers offense playing like they hated Bryce young they need to win tomorrow. Let’s go panthers!

He is going to be the panthers next franchise quarterback. Dude can deal with all the hate, if the o line crumbles he can know how to manage that, he’s never had an elite oline. He’s perfect for this franchise. He only has one really good wide receiver and that’s it. He’s the next Tom Brady.

The Bears are 2-2 entering week five. After a well-managed game against the Rams, Matt Eberflus and Co seem in an excellent position to continue developing their young quarterback. The box score shows a team that bent without breaking. Stafford was able to carve up a zone defense that took away big play opportunities and looked to capitalize on forcing mistakes. The offense stayed where they were comfortable, allowing Williams to play at the line of scrimmage through his guys.

The Bears are 24th in the league in total passing yards (we're 25th), while Williams has only tossed three TDs (tied for third worst in the league). Their quarterback rate is 72nd (tied for third worst in the league). They have had six plays go for 20 or more yards (tied for second worst in the league), and the film looks like that won't change anytime soon. Williams has been sacked 16 times for 99 yards and tossed four interceptions.

Williams looked like a first-overall pick in this game. He was visibly thinking plays through at the line of scrimmage, and as the game went on, you could see him settle in the pocket. His best drive came at the end of the first half when he displayed his off-script scampering, resulting in exciting completions. Caleb will take what he can get; he looks like a decent game manager this early in his career with flashes of Burrow-type escape artist potential.

Caleb averages 4.3 yards per throw per completion on the season, and in their game vs. the Rams, the game plan looked to get Kmet, Swift, and Moore the ball at the line of scrimmage. Our line will need to get in Caleb's face to force the ball down the field. According to NextGen stats, Caleb is the third least aggressive quarterback, and forcing him out of his comfort zone could bode well for our matchup. They will attack the flat and look to hit Swift as he gets behind rushing LBers.

Swift enters the week as the second most efficient back when touting the rock. Unlike our boy Hubbard, Swift spends more time behind the line of scrimmage, finding his hole before he hits his explosive burst. Swift had an excellent game through the ground and air, and if our defense continues to display poor tackling, he could gash us kamaraesque.

Cole Kmet averages 4.3 yards of separation on his routes, which is at the top of the league for all eligible receivers. DJ Moore leads the team in receptions at 22, though Kmet is just a little behind him at 18. Williams has receivers who can separate; now, he needs to take the next step and fire away to capitalize on the talent around him.

On the defensive side of the ball, Chicago's front line plays big, resulting in three tipped passes on Stafford. They generated lots of pressure, though they seemed susceptible to the run. They are a well-rounded unit against both the run and pass. Their secondary is big and physical; if our receivers continue needing help holding onto the ball, this could be a tough week for our offense. Bears cornerback Brisker (#9) is a hard hitter who likes to get at the ball.

The keys to this game will be containing Williams in the pocket and forcing him to make big-boy throws. We cannot let Swift get going out of the backfield, which may or may not be possible. He is a hyper-efficient back when running to the right side of their line. I was impressed with our secondary last week, and I like our chances vs. this unit. Prepare for screens and flat routes.

On offense, Dalton needs to do what Dalton does. Last week, we took plenty of hole shots up the sideline; this week, our best efforts will be hitting receivers in the box. Chuba has a good rhythm going, and it will be a good test on our line to see how they fair against Chicago. Going into last week, Chicago had let up some big games on the ground, including allowing 4.9 yards a carry to Williams this last week. The secondary is committed to not letting our guys beat them over the top. If we limit turnovers, the Bears may beat themselves through penalties.

I have noticed in the last 4 games that every runningback that has played carolina has appeared to look like an all pro. Aside from the Raiders game which Luke Getzy will be fired this year from, there seems to be no run defense and our opponents are gashing us for several yards every play. Is there anything to be done to mitigate this for this year, or are we just gonna have to take our lumps? TIA

When Caleb Farley signed with the Panthers this week, he was assigned No. 31. This number was the high school number of his father Robert Farley, who died in a house explosion outside of Charlotte last August.

Taking a shot in the dark. I had one person drop out and I now have a ticket for sale. I know I won't get what I paid for so looking to combine the Carolina Blue Tailgate VIP tailgate ticket and game ticket for $100. Tail gate ticket alone is about 83 bucks. If interested send me DM.

This thread is for weekly off-topic discussion where /r/Panthers users can discuss anything they wish. Talk about your plans for the weekend, other teams, the news, or whatever else comes to mind.

There I was, trying to go to sleep when I heard a spooky voice whisper, "Baker Mayfield is an elite quarterback."

Seeing him and Darnold start career years has crystallized what our franchise has become. We're here to help other teams find the one <3 Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. We're Good Luck Chuck.

Here's the movie for all you youngsters.

We're the last stop for washed up QBs on their way to their soulmate franchise. But I don't know how we'll break the curse or where it came from.

The only hint I have is maybe we should do something besides replace the most athletic QB of all time (Cam) with the least athletic QB of all time (Bryce) and wonder how we got here.

But for now, we can play the field, never settle down, and leave it up to fate. And if you think Andy Dalton is good now, just wait until he's with the Titans.

Packers fan here. Sorry for all the pain as of late. I know one of the worst parts of it is dealing with Bears fans. They’re delusional and deserve a weekly humbling. I love when we win, but I love it equally when they lose.

I’m tired of them dunking on y’all. Time to put em in their place.

Big NFL fan but I don’t know the Panthers intricately. Would love to know what we think the keys to a win are since I’ll for sure be tuning in.

So go get em this week fellas! Love what I’ve been seeing as of late. A loss to yall especially will crumble them.

With the consistency and severity of injuries which have plagued this team since a singular change was made, I think it is time that every fan of the Carolina Panthers begin loudly agitating and demanding for the restoration of grass fields. The astroturf may be saving a billionaire a couple thousand a year, but it is hamstringing (pun intended for my boy Thielen) our chances at success.

It is scientifically proven that turf causes an increase is non-contact injuries. How any owner can claim they’re trying to win while quite literally harming the team with money saving tactics is beyond me.

What I’m really trying to say is, Mr. Tepper-chev, tear down this turf!

It’s a shame they didn’t have 11 spots so Dalton could fit. This list seems a little fishy tho. Mahomes #1 is crazy!

IMO tanking destroys your culture. Sure you may get a generational talent but has that really worked out often? Jags got Trevor Lawrence and how has that been? The bears didn’t tank to get Caleb Williams. I’m not saying picking #1 doesn’t help a team grow. But if that team got that pick by trying not to be competitive, then the player in the locker room tend to be sour.

I think this applies to the panthers right now. I saw a tweet saying if we lose to Chicago we should put Ndyce back in to keep making him grow. I think that would be disrespectful to every player on the team. How would Johnson and Legette feel if suddenly they can’t produce anymore? How do you maintain faith in the coach when that’s happening? I just don’t understand that perspective. Anyone have any input on why they think it makes sense to tank?

One of our division rivals is losing tonight in prime-time.
