Cat Scratch Reader Reacts Survey: Week 2 brings more questions than answers
We try every year not to overreact to Week 1 for any team in the NFL. Are the Chicago Bears going to average 59 points a game? No. Are the Carolina Panthers going to give up 59 points a game? No. Can I think of more ways to remind you that the Panthers lost Week […]
Ask Brian: Week 1 fallout
Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, part one of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We’re officially into the regular season, and unfortunately the Panthers lost the first game of the season.

Panthers waive Jimmy Horn Jr, sign Tyrel Dodson
The Carolina Panthers have waived their primary returner and second-year wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr just a couple days after an abysmal performance in their season opener against the Chicago Bears.

Panthers vs Bears Game Review: Hasty generalizations
The full story of an NFL season is not written after a single game. Even one where you are force fed a 50-burger in your own stadium.

The Optimist: Worst Luke Kuechly tribute ever

Carolina Panthers vs Atlanta Falcons opening odds
The Carolina Panthers made history today by playing stunningly poor defense against an excellent quarterback.

[…]
