Dear Bryce, The Carolina Panthers stand on the precipice of recent history. Your team controls their own destiny in the playoffs in December, a fact that has long time fans of the Carolina Panthers feeling all kinds of ways. Unfortunately, confident is not commonly one of those ways. The Panthers lack of consistency against the […]

The Carolina Panthers are coming off of a two-week winning streak, if you count getting healthier over their bye while the Bucs also lost as a win. This has them facing the New Orleans Saints as a rare favorite. That worked out so well for them the first time around. Week 15 Spread Panthers: -2.5 […]

The Carolina Panthers are are off today, hopefully getting healthier during their late and well-earned bye week. Somehow, that has left us with more games to watch in which we, as Panthers fans, have an active rooting interest in. Just this morning I posted a playoff rooting guide using the “Carolina Panthers playoffs” tag unironically […]

The Carolina Panthers are in the driver’s seat of their own December playoff dreams for the first time since 2017. The path won’t be easy, but the simple mantra of “win and you’re in” holds true for the Panthers. If they win out then will take the NFC South title and a home playoff game. […]

On Thursday, we looked back at what has gone well and what has gone poorly for the offense. The up-and-down nature of the season has given us plenty to look at on both sides of that conversation. It’s made it impossible to predict what is going to happen on any given week. After exploding against […]

The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week. Injuries With the Panthers entering a bye week, there’s little to report on the injury front, which is a good thing. Guard Chandler Zavala (elbow) and running back Rico Dowdle (quad) didn’t […]

Hello CSR! I recently broke down the whirlwind of a 2025 season for the Carolina Panthers defense, and while there were certainly bumps and bruises along the way, it seems Dan Morgan and his front office have laid a solid groundwork to continue building a quality unit. Sure, the pieces they’ve assembled have played vastly […]

The Carolina Panthers have no game to preview this week, so we’ll instead use this space to review what they’ve done on the offensive side of the ball this season. It has been one of the most curious and unpredictable units in the entire league. They’ve had games where they look like they could hang […]

Hello CSR! Its the bye week, meaning the Panthers do not have a matchup to break down this week. However, that means its a perfect time to do some self reflecting. I’ve brought you the defensive previews each week, and things have changed significantly since the start of the season, sometimes even on a week […]

The Carolina Panthers met the expectations of the vast majority of their fans for the 2025 season before their bye week. Now, with four games left to play on the season, they have the opportunity to exceed them. Unless the Panthers lose to the hapless New Orleans Saints next week, we’re going to spend the […]

At this point, there is not much left to be said that describes the up and down nature of the Carolina Panthers 2025 season. By almost any metric, any point of view, any anything – the Panthers should not have won this game. The Los Angeles Rams came in Sunday looking like the most formidable […]

Hello CSR! Welcome to… wait, Brian Asks? “Didn’t you just change that title a few weeks ago?” You would be correct! However, its the bye week, meaning theoretically not much is going to change between now and their next game against the New Orleans Saints. So this week I decided to change the formula a […]

The Carolina Panthers gained a signature upset win yesterday against the Los Angeles Rams. It is hard to understate how big of a deal it is for them to be playing meaningful football in the month of December instead of just talking about the upcoming NFL Draft. Head coach Dave Canales and quarterback Bryce Young […]

Dave Canales finally committed to the run against a superior opponent. Bryce Young delivered a precise-when-it-mattered and mistake-free game. This was the game we hoped for against the San Francisco 49ers and, instead, it showed up a week late and right on time as the Panthers head into their much needed bye week. For all […]

The Carolina Panthers were in first place for a few minutes in the NFC South but after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won a moments after the Panthers did, the Bucs are back in front. The two teams play twice in the final three weeks of the season, so there is plenty of opportunity still. Elsewhere […]

The Carolina Panthers continue to defy all odds in every direction as they took down the Los Angeles Rams. First Quarter Any expectations of a blowout seemed to get reaffirmed by the way the game started.

The Carolina Panthers are back in the market for a signature upset win. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football this year. This could hardly work better as a script if it was written for Hollywood. Unfortunately, this is reality and the odds are that the good team plays well […]
