Carolina Panthers @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 09/07/25-09/13/25

[Dback Jon]

The panthers have won 7 of the last 8 matchups, including last year when they were God awful “on paper”. We always seem to struggle against this team.

Since we broke one streak (not winning in New Orleans in almost 30 years), lets break another!

After what I saw that under looks pretty enticing

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

alrighty then - bryce young - rough week 1 but 12 pressures and only 1 sack - guessing that was also the lost fumble?

The second number is how many yards were lost on the sack

Oof. Not a good game for the Panthers:

This bodes well for the Cardinals:

The Panthers’ run defense continues to be the team’s Achilles heel under defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

 

[Garthshort]

Ejiro Evero, our hero!

 

[MadCardDisease]

The Panthers will be without one of their top defensive linemen for a bit:

Tershawn Wharton to miss time with hamstring injury

The veteran defensive tackle will miss a few weeks after leaving the loss to the Jaguars, and Dave Canales said he could miss a few weeks.

Playoff teams don't lose games like this. At home, heavily favored against a bad team.

I know it's all dramatic and everything but this is a must win.

 

[DVontel]

Obviously we’ll see some more against better QBs & weapons, but Budda has to be happy as hell. This easily might be the best secondary he’ll play alongside with.

It's going to be HUGE! Easily the biggest game of the season, and Kyler's, Gannon's and Monti's career so far.

Until week 3 when we play the 49ers. THAT game will become the biggest most important game ever

Kyler started a playoff game. Gannon coached in a Super Bowl.

The Panthers are 14-38 over the past three plus seasons.

I was being facetious.

Although one of the good things about football compared to some other sports is every game has more importance.

I'm making the transition from:
A. Disappointing Sunday-I know we won, but I have to admit that I was disappointed in the way we played. So, I'm moving on to.....
B. Rationalize Monday-I'm attributing yesterday's performance in part to the fact that our 'starters' hadn't played meaningful football for close to four weeks. And, it showed. And, now it's on to .......
C. Hopeful Tuesday-The Home Opener, with a game under our belts. Fingers crossed.

Thats the spirit Garth!!

cant wait for KILL THOSE FUGGGERS FRIDAY!!!!

Im gonna give the points and take the over on that game... our lads seam to enjoy performing for the home crowd and I think this year they want to show us something special.

 

[oaken1]

Ejiro Evero, our hero!

Lets get him fired sunday

its a "Damn sure better win"

 

[oaken1]

Obviously we’ll see some more against better QBs & weapons, but Budda has to be happy his hell. This easily might be the best secondary he’ll play alongside with.

I was both shocked and stoked to see like 3 of our young defenders rank higher than Budda in the weekly PFF report...how often has that happened the past few years?

right now...until sunday night....this game is by far the most critical and important game of the season.
Team better be preparing like they have to play the iggles and the Bills...at the same time.

 

[oaken1]

oh look!!
I pulled an Ouchie and posted five responses in a row!!
Yay me!!

This team absolutely has to figure out how to beat a lousy Panthers team next week if it wants to go anywhere this season.

Cam Newton game

<shudder>

We need Drew P. to have a better game. And, I'll start by hoping that Trey and Marvin get more targets than they did, last week.

Trey had nine targets and a 31% target share. That’s dead-on his per-game average from last season.

And MJH?

 

[kerouac9]

And MJH?

Charmin had six targets and a 21% target share. 0.8 fewer targets than last year, but we passed the ball 31.9 times per game last season and 29 times yesterday.
