Week 2 game pick sponsored by FanDuel

Reality is here. What's next for the reigning worst team in the league?

Welcome to our weekly game pick series where I will attempt to guide you through picking every Carolina Panthers game of the 2024 season. Buckle up, it’s probably going to get rough. This week is going to be a great time at the Panthers home opener as the team faces an opponent with their own new coach, the Los Angeles Chargers.

As much as I want to pick the Panthers this week, I simply can’t. I'm not a big fan of Jim Harbaugh, but he is head...

Odds and injuries: Week 2 and Derrick Brown

Odds and injuries: Week 2 and Derrick Brown

How this week’s injury report affects our picks

It is going to take a miraculous showing in Week 2 for anybody to start picking the Carolina Panthers to beat anybody, let alone the Jim Harbaugh coached Los Angeles Chargers. Unfortunately, the injury report this week is not helping Panthers fans out. We could use some good news to cheer their rooting, or gambling, interests. Instead, we lost Derrick Brown.

Brown aside there are three names of note on the Panthers injury report. These are worth keeping an eye on and, if they stay on, fade the Panthers harder than we...

Panthers Reacts Results: Plumeting confidence, a tradition like no other

First impressions of the Carolina Panthers were poor

It only took a first impression to send Carolina Panthers fans running for the hills again. The hosts of the cheapest ticket in the NFL this week, the Panthers clearly have their work cut out for themselves to earn their fans' trust again.

Our weekly confidence poll saw a drop of 62% in fan confidence. We are down to 17% of fans who think the team is going in the right direction, as compared to 72% before the season started.

That is not even the biggest drop in the NFC South, however....

Bills vs Dolphins ‘Thursday Night Football’ game pick and open thread

Welcome back to Thursday Night Football

Thursday Night Football is back and better than ever this season, by which I mean they aren’t forcing every team to play one Thursday Night game. The Carolina Panthers will be absent from the series this season, as well as from all primetime games. Teams like the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns, the Los Angeles Rams, the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Seattle Seahawks, meanwhile, are all playing two Thursday games this season. All Thursday night games kick off at 8:15 ET on Prime Video.

As always...

Carolina Panthers Fans in Dismay: An Unexpected Start

Carolina Panthers Fans in Dismay: An Unexpected Start

The Carolina Panthers' 2024 season took an unexpected turn, marked by a disheartening and lackadaisical performance in their opener. The defense struggled tremendously, surrendering a staggering 115 rushing yards in just the first half. This inability to contain the run quickly put the game out of reach, leaving fans and analysts alike questioning the team's strategy, determination, and execution. With only one sack, no interceptions, and no forced fumbles, the Panthers’ defense fell flat, allowing the New Orleans Saints to set franchise records—a result, and effort that would have surely disappointed the legendary Sam Mills. His mantra was given to...

Panthers vs Chargers: Offensive preview

Panthers vs Chargers: Offensive preview

The Carolina Panthers try to get their offense rolling after a disastrous Week 1.

The Carolina Panthers started the Dave Canales era in the most humiliating way possible. They were blown out 47-10 due to catastrophic failures on all sides of the ball and countless individual mistakes and lapses. We’ve already subjected a people to a preview of the defense that tallied zero meaningful stops. Now it’s time for the offense to get a turn.

This week’s opponent is a Jim Harbaugh-led Los Angeles Chargers team that in theory contrasts the glitz and glamour of the city they play in....

Hello CSR fans! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your Panthers mailbag for everyone! We’re coming off an extremely tough week, as the Panthers got shredded in week 1, they lost defensive stalwart Derrick Brown to a season ending meniscus injury, and need to quickly pick up the pieces going into week 2.
