Brian Answers: Is a change coming at quarterback?
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff.

Panthers vs Falcons: Offensive Preview
Normally as the season goes on, the NFL picture becomes clearer and we start to get a good idea of who’s who and what every team is capable of. For the most part, we’ve reached that point in the season, but there are a handful of teams that seem to provide an unpredictable grab bag […]
Panthers vs Falcons: Can the defense pitch a shutout again?
Hello CSR! While I know most of the conversation both in this community and across the internet has spanned around Bryce Young and the offense’s dreadful performance from last week, the league doesn’t stop. Neither does the NFC South as the Falcons desperately need to win this game in order to position themselves as potentially […]
Rico Dowdle headlines a relatively clean Panthers injury report
The Carolina Panthers released their first injury report of the week, as is custom on Wednesdays. In a refreshing turn of events, it’s a relatively short list. So while the loss to the Saints was tremendously damaging to the ego and vibes of the Panthers, it didn’t hurt them too badly physically. Trevin Wallace left […]

Panthers vs Saints game review: Crushed by expectations
Hot oil and water. Toothpaste and orange juice. The Carolina Panthers and winning a football game as the betting favorite. In other words, a list of things that do not mix well together. It has been over 4 years since the Panthers have gone into a football game as the betting favorite and left the […]
Ask Brian: I might be out on Bryce Young.
Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! Following a huge upset victory over the Green Bay Packers last week, the Panthers quickly fell back down to Earth with a disappointing home loss to the 1 win New Orleans Saints on Sunday. I know I am not […]
The Optimist: Nic Scourton provides a reason to believe
A week ago, the Carolina Panthers beat the then 5-1-1 Green Bay Packers to improve to 5-4 and let the world know that they could beat any team in the NFL. Talks all week were of playoff scenarios, being ahead of schedule, and the prudence of head coach Dave Canales’ strategy to commot to the […]

Recap and Reaction: Panthers drop a dud against the Saints
An embarrassingly incompetent offensive performance doomed the Carolina Panthers in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. First Quarter The Panthers got the ball first and moved the ball down the field pretty easily, especially through the air. It looked like the drive was going to short circuit in Saints territory when Bryce Young inexplicably […]
Panthers vs Saints: Open game thread
Much has been made about the Carolina Panthers having a winning record again this season. For the first time in living memory they are above .500 and facing a weak opponent. Of course, that means more than a few of us are expecting the team to fall flat on their faces today when they host […]
Reacts Results: Fans stay grounded as playoff hopes build
The 5-4 Carolina Panthers have presented their fans with a novel conundrum: how to handle limited success. We’re experienced of late in divining the faintest of moral victories, in predicting future success, and expecting the sky to fall even when it is already on the ground. A positive record built on a repeatable offensive identity, […]

5 Questions with Canal Street Chronicles
Now that the Super Bowl favorite* Carolina Panthers are expected to easily—almost effortlessly—expand their winning record against the New Orleans Saints (up to -5.5 favorites on FanDuel this morning), I thought it would be gracious to allow a fan of the 1-8 Saints to explain their situation from their perspective. To that end, Nic Jennings […]
Brian Answers: The future of the Panthers, both near and far.
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone!

Panthers vs Saints: Offensive Preview
The Carolina Panthers are riding high right now. They’ve won four of their last five games in total and are a on a four game winning streak when Bryce Young is the starting quarterback (we’ll ignore that the game he missed would’ve still be very losable had Young started). The last win of the streak […]
Panthers vs Saints: Defensive Preview
Hello CSR! We’re onto the next game as the Panthers will welcome the 1-8 New Orleans Saints to Charlotte for part one of their annual NFC South two-game-tilt. The Panthers are coming off their biggest win of the season, as their defense managed to hold a very good Packers offense to only 13 points in […]
Panthers Reacts Survey Week 10: Trade deadline and a winning streak?
The Carolina Panthers are on a four-game winning streak, from a certain point of view. Bryce Young, who missed the Week 8 loss against the Buffalo Bills, has won four consecutive starts, including two semi-straight on the road. All five of the Panthers wins this season came in the last seven games, including six of […]

The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play
The Carolina Panthers are 5-4 and coming off a road win over the Green Bay Packers. It’s a place no one would have reasonably expected this group to be, and the fan base is rightfully feeling really good about the direction of the team. However, all of the good vibes are hiding an elephant in […]
Panthers vs Packers game review: Winning on the fringes
The Carolina Panthers came into Sunday with a defined set of win conditions and a game plan tailor-made to put the team in the best place to win versus the Green Bay Packers. As the saying goes: ‘Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Turns out the Panthers were the ones […]
The Panthers should not be buyers at the trade deadline
At 5-4 and firmly in the hunt, for the moment, for a playoff berth, the 2025 Carolina Panthers are ahead of schedule. That makes the pressure of today’s 4:00 PM ET trade deadline all the more attractive. General manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales were hired to fix one of the worst teams […]
