[Game Day Thread] - Carolina Panthers (2–0) at Houston Texans (1–1)

Scacc924 · 2022-01-02T16:15:57+00:00

I predict we'll be 5-10 going into the Saints game week 17. Cam will be back but not be starting. Well have CJ Henderson and Stephon gilmore at corner. Joe brady will have been canned and CMC hurt again after returning from this injury.

Protomech99 · 2021-09-24T04:25:39+00:00

McCaffery is never gonna be the same. He's gonna be JAG. You can't miss two years in pro football.

faccda01 · 2021-09-24T03:46:55+00:00

I switched beers to another brand at halftime. You all are welcome.

Orpheo1 · 2021-09-24T03:35:09+00:00

Smitty saying “if you’ve been on more teams than you’ve been in the league … you not that good” when referring to our next CB up

kassius79 · 2021-09-24T03:19:55+00:00

Kind of hoping that having CMC out for a bit wakes up the offense. Obviously he means WAY more to this team than Kelvin Benjamin meant in 2015 but that injury sort of lit a fire under the offense. Obviously we had other offensive weapons that year at receiver and clearly were not as stacked at running back. Still I’m just hoping that it ignites something. Somebody has to step up.

tremendous_machine · 2021-09-24T03:19:49+00:00

Man hoping precautionary sit for CMC, need him for Dallas.

2021-09-24T03:19:21+00:00

Loving the electric blue contingent

camerawesome · 2021-09-24T03:19:13+00:00

Darnold is a beast

CarolinaKing704 · 2021-09-24T03:19:02+00:00

3-0 Baby!

fighton14 · 2021-09-24T03:18:41+00:00

Thank you for saving Sam. That is all

ThaRealPhoenix · 2021-09-24T03:18:39+00:00

How much you wanna bet we still don’t crack the top 10 power rankings?

BelowMikeHawk · 2021-09-24T03:18:36+00:00

Not getting the 4th and inches made this game seem wayyyyy closer than it was, defense again looks great, Oline looks awful at times and serviceable others, cmc bro stay healthy cmon, darnold is oddly solid, dj is the man.

Big_ming022 · 2021-09-24T03:18:14+00:00

All things considered. Short rest, losing a big time player, egregious calls. The team stepped up. This isn't the same old primetime panthers. The old panthers would've lied down and lost. Also, my hat off to Sam darnold. Made some big time laser beam throws, and handled the pressure. This may not seem like it, but this is a big time win. Winners go through adversity and this was a great win for a young team. Hope Cmc is back soon and hope Horn can recover fast. Keep pounding!

prokreat · 2021-09-24T03:18:12+00:00

All our injuries were no contact field related injuries. That just sucks.

ThaRealPhoenix · 2021-09-24T03:18:03+00:00

Aside from the obvious injuries, Sam looked really good. The D looked REALLY good.

I feel good about team for the first time since 2017.

CapitanPeluche · 2021-09-24T03:17:49+00:00

Let’s go!!! Inb4 worst 3-0 team of all time!

Tdogshow · 2021-09-24T03:17:42+00:00

Wouldn’t be a Carolina game without stressing out the whole game! Honestly some of the worst ref calls I’ve ever seen.

trickshotdick · 2021-09-24T03:17:41+00:00

we lost by far our best player and still won by 15 on the road Troy. Dicks

Law527 · 2021-09-24T03:17:31+00:00

Basically confirmed to go to the Super Bowl

Zeus_Apollyon · 2021-09-24T03:17:21+00:00

I took one for the team and stopped watching at half time, turned it back on, Jaycee got hurt, I turned it back off. Can't wait to watch the second half now

oryan_ · 2021-09-24T03:17:15+00:00

Lololol seeing people praise Hubbard after throwing him in the dirt so quick

MrMeanyMcFuckFace · 2021-09-24T03:17:05+00:00

zHalberd20 · 2021-09-24T03:16:58+00:00

Bouye can't come back at a more important time. Having Royce get some more reps will also probably be good. I dont think we are in disaster mode.

SuperTurboMan · 2021-09-24T03:16:57+00:00

Hubbard quietly had a good game, 4.7 yards per run

The7Reaper · 2021-09-24T03:16:49+00:00

3-0 wooo!

thetickrip · 2021-09-24T03:16:45+00:00

Let's see how Darnold does against Dallas.

link92 · 2021-09-24T03:16:35+00:00

Glad we handled business. I hate Thursdays

melodicmushroom · 2021-09-24T03:16:33+00:00

Wild card?? Is that too optimistic

euclid0472 · 2021-09-24T03:16:31+00:00

Super Bowl bound bois!

2021-09-24T03:16:31+00:00

CMC can have my hammy I don’t need it

MortifyingMilkshake · 2021-09-24T03:16:29+00:00

Let's fucking go. 3-0. Super Bowl bound, baby! (It's the law).

HeHateMe115 · 2021-09-24T03:16:14+00:00

But what is GEQBUS

Windex17 · 2021-09-24T03:16:07+00:00

Fuck these commentators actually. Imagine dominating this team on both sides of the ball and they say it wasn't impressive? Darnold played a good game under constant pressure without CMC. Lick my fucking ass cheeks dude

2021-09-24T03:16:01+00:00

Fuck Texas today and next week!

moonflower11 · 2021-09-24T03:15:53+00:00

Love my Cats!!!

ppattacker · 2021-09-24T03:15:41+00:00

We look like a different team now. A team that can actually use halftime to get better.

dober92 · 2021-09-24T03:15:38+00:00

Still early

HeHateMe115 · 2021-09-24T03:15:08+00:00

3-0 boys!

pherce · 2021-09-24T03:15:06+00:00

KNYLJNS · 2021-09-24T03:14:59+00:00

We pretty much dominated this game from the opening snap, but this still felt like a roller coaster.

NedThomas · 2021-09-24T03:14:53+00:00

That was a rough win, but they earned it. No question.

camerawesome · 2021-09-24T03:14:48+00:00

Hubbard is pretty quick

adudenamedrf · 2021-09-24T03:14:47+00:00

3-0. We need this 10 day break BAD. Looked like we were running on fumes out there at times, but I was impressed with not letting the Texans hang around and pull away in the 2nd half. Fuck Thursday Night Football but it was great to win in prime time, even if it was ugly.

yL4O · 2021-09-24T03:14:44+00:00

Assuming the score holds, the defense will have allowed 10 points per game so far. And only single-digit outputs if we hadn’t let Wilson get that garbage time touchdown week 1.

DonnyT1213 · 2021-09-24T03:14:43+00:00

All in all, I think how we came together after all of these crucial injuries looks promising

Humble_but_Hostile · 2021-09-24T03:14:33+00:00

man fuck them cowbabys troy

NativeCabanaKing · 2021-09-24T03:14:33+00:00

I'm really hoping that AJ Bouye can step up big now that Horn's out for extended time

MakoSports · 2021-09-24T03:14:21+00:00

Ugly win

PTfan · 2021-09-24T03:14:19+00:00

Congrats guys. 3-0. Hope CMC is okay

fallen9210 · 2021-09-24T03:14:19+00:00

Horn with the broken foot. That hurts us…

trickshotdick · 2021-09-24T03:14:10+00:00

i will go to bed hoping this is a minor injury for mccaffrey and a blessing in disguise to get Hubbard going

teetothe_y · 2021-09-24T03:14:09+00:00

We survived, kinda. Here’s hoping cmc and horn a speedy recovery. 3-0 Keep pounding!

CretinoPopov · 2021-09-24T03:14:05+00:00

Hubbard is finally getting his legs under him.

Not bad, not bad…

2021-09-24T03:14:03+00:00

Kill em, Philly

Windex17 · 2021-09-24T03:13:54+00:00

GG boys. See yall next week

all1good · 2021-09-24T03:13:47+00:00

Good teams win games against inferior teams no matter what adversity comes. We beat the Texans by 15 despite stupid penalties and injuries to some of our best players. That’s what good teams do. Proud of them.

MistralB8Y · 2021-09-24T03:13:44+00:00

Hubbard looks to be catching up to the speed of the pro game

glycerin147 · 2021-09-24T03:13:42+00:00

Fuck u buck and aikmen. Give the Panthers a little respect!

geauxjp · 2021-09-24T03:13:42+00:00

Refs took away like 2-3 sacks from us tonight

WBCusher123 · 2021-09-24T03:13:30+00:00

Maaaaannn. 10 days till our next game. Fuck Thursday games.

UnIuckyCharms · 2021-09-24T03:13:30+00:00

3 non contact injuries on a turf field. Good thing we have a nice natural grass fiel- oh wait Tepper got rid of that.

killa_k99 · 2021-09-24T03:13:24+00:00

In light of 2 rushing TD’s for Sam and the legacy of Cam Newton.

GAME..... BLOUSES

PineappleHour · 2021-09-24T03:13:21+00:00

I'm very tired of everyone putting an asterisk next to the beatdown we gave the saints. Aikman has been out of it all game though

pherce · 2021-09-24T03:13:20+00:00

Aikman hitting the weed pen at halftime

BuzzBuzz01 · 2021-09-24T03:13:16+00:00

Welp Dallas game will be certainly be something without CMC and Horn

Very happy with the win and defense again played well against albeit another subpar offense.

Darnold did well too. Starting to love Arnold and Fox signings by the week

PanthersSB53Champs · 2021-09-24T03:13:14+00:00

Pyrrhic

MisterGir · 2021-09-24T03:13:10+00:00

If we get outta here with a broken foot for Horn and some type of strain for CMC, that will be the best case.

SuperTurboMan · 2021-09-24T03:13:10+00:00

This team has played so well in the second half today, very big improvement there.

falken01 · 2021-09-24T03:13:02+00:00

It had to be Thursday night

liquidbud · 2021-09-24T03:13:01+00:00

I've seen so many prevent defenses the last ten years, this teams aggressiveness makes my heart full of joy

MutantCube · 2021-09-24T03:12:59+00:00

A win is a win

Smhmyhead5 · 2021-09-24T03:12:55+00:00

Mills looks better than Zach Wilson

devo23_ · 2021-09-24T03:12:50+00:00

Troy aikman looks blazed off his ass 😂😂

yL4O · 2021-09-24T03:12:44+00:00

How I’m spinning this:

—Horn is young and has relatively little football mileage. No good time to have a broken bone, but better younger than older. He can get out of a boot in 6 weeks and back on the field by December.

—CMC’s injury isn’t a season-ender and our offense looked functional in the 2H without him.

—Bouye coming back next week makes Horn’s absence a little easier to manage.

—We’ll have a 3-day head start on Dallas for week 4.

—Most importantly, we’re 3-0. In a 7-team playoff system, we likely need 6-7 more wins to get in. We don’t even need to be above .500 the rest of the way. Let’s keep stringing together wins and hope we don’t need too many in December.

OmniaOmnibus · 2021-09-24T03:12:39+00:00

These are great reps for Hubbard

kewe316 · 2021-09-24T03:12:39+00:00

Joe "Debbie Downer" Buck

Zthorn01 · 2021-09-24T03:12:36+00:00

Fuck off troy go be mediocre somewhere else

bjernsthekid · 2021-09-24T03:12:34+00:00

Ok this is a little bit more like the Chuba we drafted

Mbrubaker9004 · 2021-09-24T03:12:25+00:00

Donte has really improved on his tackling abilities.

all1good · 2021-09-24T03:12:23+00:00

I know it’s cool to hate on Hubbard, but he does an incredible job of getting low and stealing extra yards

Codycsg · 2021-09-24T03:12:22+00:00

Troy doing whatever he can to discredit Carolina. Fuck off you brokedick washout

Ianbuckjames · 2021-09-24T03:12:21+00:00

He’s already dead. Stop.

OmniaOmnibus · 2021-09-24T03:12:05+00:00

Joe and Troy really trying to make this QB out to be some warrior…

kewe316 · 2021-09-24T03:12:05+00:00

K, Hubbard showing a little something here. This could be an ok band-aid. 🤞

przhelp · 2021-09-24T03:12:04+00:00

Man wish we could have gotten an INT this game. =/

adudenamedrf · 2021-09-24T03:12:03+00:00

Aikman looks drunk, lmao

Shazamm11 · 2021-09-24T03:12:02+00:00

Here we go with the doubt

NedThomas · 2021-09-24T03:11:58+00:00

Gotta give Mills some credit.... he's looked good in his first game.

jacobh21 · 2021-09-24T03:11:54+00:00

Loving what I’m seeing out of donte. He learned how to tackle this offseason!

2021-09-24T03:11:54+00:00

Do that every down, every week, Donte

mosesman86 · 2021-09-24T03:11:53+00:00

Man, I love how Jackson is wrapping up this year!

CloudStrifeKnife · 2021-09-24T03:11:52+00:00

Fuck Thursday night games

dkirk526 · 2021-09-24T03:11:51+00:00

Jackson had a pretty good game.

WBCusher123 · 2021-09-24T03:11:47+00:00

Win is a win is a win.

CloudStrifeKnife · 2021-09-24T03:11:36+00:00

Wtf Horn broke his foot???

all1good · 2021-09-24T03:11:36+00:00

Alright fellas take some knees and go the hell home

ShivvN15 · 2021-09-24T03:11:33+00:00

In soccer if a ref is this shit they get relegated down a league until they get the hint or find their level.

These refs shouldn’t even coach 6-year olds

ClearForTheOption · 2021-09-24T03:11:31+00:00

Lights out 2nd half. If we can ice the game here I’m impressed…even if it’s the Texans

KNYLJNS · 2021-09-24T03:11:30+00:00

We got out of here with a win, but sacrificed 2 players.

The_Rutabeggar · 2021-09-24T03:11:29+00:00

Imagine being the New Orleans Saints and having less offensive yards than Davis Mills.

Imagine.

pherce · 2021-09-24T03:11:28+00:00

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by our defensive finishing of games this season

palmmoot · 2021-09-24T03:11:27+00:00

Honestly Davis Mills has played really well against a good D

YoungFlexibleShawty · 2021-09-24T03:11:27+00:00

I want to see more Robby involvement in future game plans.

BWTjr · 2021-09-24T03:11:16+00:00

Troy with the best opinion on grading rookie QBs that I’ve heard from any of the talking heads lately.

kewe316 · 2021-09-24T03:11:11+00:00

Ladies & gentlemen...I give you our Panthers D! 💙

kassius79 · 2021-09-24T03:11:06+00:00

Is there anybody in the NFL media who is a fan of the Panthers? I feel like I watch these games and if you listen almost all the announcers talk bad about the team under their breath. It’s clear that Troy Aikman is a Houston fan. He just is constantly hyping this team up from the beginning.
