The Panthers had the week off after their win in Germany. Let’s see what all went on.

The Carolina Panthers got a week off in Week 11 to rest up from winning a game in Germany. Let’s look at what happened around the league while they were enjoying their time away.

NFC South

The Saints are kind of back

The Saints fired their head coach Dennis Allen after a defeat to the Panthers in which they did their opposition a lot of favors. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi took over as the head guy and rizzed the boys...

Let’s take a closer look at one of the prospects the Panthers could select in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Since it’s never too early to look forward to the NFL Draft, this weekly series will take a closer look at some of the prospects the Carolina Panthers could select in the 2025 iteration of the Draft. In this series, we’ll only be looking at prospects the Panthers could seriously consider. This week our profile will focus on Penn State junior edge defender Abdul Carter.

Standing at 6’3”, 259 lbs, Abdul Carter is not the same true physical specimen coming off...

We aren't good, but we can at least have some fun at our own expense.

Every week we ask if you, our audience of consumate fans of the Carolina Panthers, are confident that the team is headed in the right direction. Every week, your responses seem directly proportional to the result of the previous game. If the Panthers win then fan confidence rises and if the Panthers lose then fan confidence falls.

This seems wholly independent of whether or not the Panthers are expected to win a game. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the majority...

The winners and losers of the Panthers season so far, according to Pro Football Focus

After an encouraging win on German soil, the Carolina Panthers returned home for the bye week sporting a disappointing, if not unsurprising, 3-7 record with 7 games yet to play. That said, the season was never expected to be the Panthers time to make a run for the NFC South title.

After a few seasons of shelling out far too much draft capital and free agency spending for far too little return, the Panthers needed a season of rehabilitation. A season to take their medicine...

Bringing you part one of this week’s fan mailbag!

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Asks, part one of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! This week, coming off two straight wins and a bye week, the Panthers welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Bank of America stadium, as the 9-1 incumbent Super Bowl Champions look to bounce back from their first loss of the season. Unluckily for them, they are playing against a Panthers team on the upswing. I’ve been calling my shot for several weeks, the Panthers are winning this game. Sure, my prediction of the Panthers snapping...

The five-year veteran is quietly having an impressive career

The Carolina Panthers are holding on to one of the NFL’s secret weapons: Kicker Eddie Piñeiro. He is, entering Week 12 of the 2024 NFL Season, the NFL’s All-Time leader in percentage of made field goals. He assumed that position after the previous leader, the Baltimore Raven’s Justin Tucker, continued a career worst season by only making one of his three attempts yesterday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Piñeiro has a career 89.381% field goal conversion percentage against Tucker’s now 89.348%. Almost all of the top ten are active kickers, per [Pro...

The Panthers are shuffling talent with an eye beyond Week 12’s assumed loss

The Carolina Panthers have exited the bye week with a handful of roster moves that may have more impact down the stretch than on their Week 12 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The biggest news it that they have placed tight end Ian Thomas on injured reserve again with another calf injury. This one was suffered during the Week 10 win against the New York Giants in Munich. Thomas started two of the five games he appeared in this season, with three receptions for seven yards...

What’s coming down the home stretch

The Carolina Panthers are exiting their bye week with an impossible matchup against one of the best teams in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs, awaiting them in Week 12. The two-game winning streak was fun, but it’s not like any sane members of our fanbase were expecting it to continue.

The Panthers haven’t been favored in a single game this season, that certainly didn’t change this week and it realistically isn’t likely to change before the end of the season. Keep an eye on the imploding Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Weeks 13 and 17)...

Check out what the oddsmakers think about the Panthers this week

The Carolina Panthers are back in action this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs. That means you can once again risk it all on your favorite team—or, as should be more likely, bet against them.

It has been a roller coaster of a season for the Carolina Panthers, or at least it would have been if there had been enough highs to balance out all the lows. The Panthers may be coming off their bye week on a two game winning streak and as healthy as they are likely...

Welcome to Sunday Night Football

Sunday Night Football is back this week featuring another primetime game for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Instead, the teams are a combined 10-9 and neither are guaranteed even a wildcard slot. All Sunday Night Football games kick off at 8:20 ET on NBC.

As always in our brave new world of expansive sports gambling, it is now easier to bet on games than to watch them. You can catch current odds on...

A gathering place for those of you who dare to watch competent football when the Panthers are off

There are a lot of bad teams in the NFL and, today, quite a few of them are playing each other. Still, there are a handful of games that should or could be worth following while the Carolina Panthers are taking their Bye Week to prepare for hosting the currently undefeated Kansas City Chiefs next week.

The Chiefs headline this week's games with their contest against the Buffalo Bills. Other games worth watching include the Baltimore Ravens vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, the...
