Panthers vs Buccaneers: Offensive Preview

We all should have seen last week coming. If there’s one thing that’s predictable about this Carolina Panthers team, it’s that they’re remarkably consistent with their inconsistency. They play poorly when you think they’ll play well. They play well when you think there’s no chance they do so. That makes this week kind of tough […]

The Optimist: Yeah, that happened

I gave strong consideration to just publishing a gif of Lucy pulling up the football today. I’m far from the only person who considered that in the Panthers sphere and I’m far from the only fan who feels like that today.
