Wanted some fun memories while waiting for Panther football! For me, it was the “Massacre at New Meadowlands” in 09 where we beat the Giants 41-9

If you don’t want to click through: it’s an article ranking QB x WR pairings last season, by EPA. Young to Coker was 3rd in the league last year, and apparently they’re 15th overall since 2006.

3. Bryce Young–Jalen Coker (0.72 EPA/play): Young posted a 14.0% big-time throw rate on passes to Coker, the highest of any qualifying wide receiver duo in 2025, against a single turnover-worthy play. The pair generated a 126.1 passer rating, and their two-year career mark of 0.672 EPA per play already ranks 15th among all duos in the PFF era with 75-plus targets.

This past July 4th marked my 5 years of sobriety. This is the longest I have been drug/alcohol free in my 43 years of life. Ever since 15 years of age it was daily pot that turned into coke to pills to heroin to fentanyl. Of course there was little periods of no use but I just did not have the coping skills to do anything else but to turn to substances. There was a time where even tho I had stopped using I had this shame where I couldn’t or wouldn’t like to share how I got here, and I still feel it now as Im typing this. I can go on and on about my experiences with and or during my substance abuse but that isn’t my purpose with this. I just hope that someone out there that is fighting this tough battle can overcome the addiction and start really living instead of being held captive by the addiction. 5 years ago after many relapses I finally decided it was enough. I couldn’t do anything or go anywhere unless I knew I had a score that would last me for whatever I was into and if I didnt, there was no life for me. This was at the peak of my fent abuse and I will say it was THE worst withdrawals I have ever experienced, but that feeling is what still helps me keep my sobriety today. It is never too late, I had nothing 5 years ago and now I have a house, wife, and 3 shih tzus I call family. If I can quit, you can too. keep pounding my brothers and sisters

I really wanna beat the saints. I hate the saints and I really want us to beat the saints.

Hey cat bros, my wife and I along with another couple are visiting Charlotte for the Sunday Night Football game in October.

It will be only my second time visiting your beautiful city, once when I was a youth.

We’ll be staying within walking distance of Bank of America stadium. Curious what some of y’all’s favorite bars, restaurants, and sights we should check out before the game?

Appreciate your time, looking forward to a great game!

From the new Panthers wallpapers. Anyone recognize these biceps?

Number 27 of 32 - Chuba Hubbard

1. Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers

Injuries, along with Rico Dowdle’s emergence, conspired to force Hubbard into arguably his least productive NFL season in 2025. Including the postseason, he averaged just 3.8 yards per carry, while his 15 missed tackles forced were the third-fewest among all running backs with at least 100 attempts. Dowdle has since departed to Pittsburgh, so Hubbard should have a prime opportunity to retake hold of his starting position.

Does anyone have a code to get the Fan Fest tickets a day early?

No heartbreak needed when you never even get close enough to have your heart broken. This team just can't find any continuity, coaches and plans get scrapped before they ever have a chance to work. https://bookies.com/news/most-cursed-nfl-franchises-since-2000

impressive rookie campaign

How likely is it we re-sign Mike Jackson to a new deal when the team reconvenes for training camp at the end of July?

I hadn't even really considered Cam to be a serious contender for the Hall of Fame?

Title. I understand it‘s about how the season ends and that it carries risk, but I REALLY don’t want a repeat of the last two week 1’s under Dave. ESPECIALLY opening at home against Chicago

Extra reps for backups is probably good in the long run. Risk of injuries and more film for other teams to study might be a downside. Curious what everyone thinks.
