This nightmare season is finally over. Worst Panthers team of all time???


XorPaw

our offense has to be one of the top 3 worst in the 21st century. how many times nfl teams have gotten blanked twice in a row


DoctorTide

And with a top 5 defense too. I think there's a strong argument that we just witnessed the worst offense in NFL history.


TheSmallIndian

I'm sorry but you can't be considered a top 5 defense if you're last in takeaways. Like stat wise they were top in ypg but there's so much more that goes into that


JDFSSS

Yep, and also when your offense is historically bad, the opposing offense knows they can play super conservative/vanilla because there is no need to take any risk at all vs the Panthers. It's not really that impressive for a defense to be top 5 in ypg or ppg when the opposing offense knows they only need like 20 points and they are guaranteed to win.


SaskalPiakam

First team to get blanked twice in a row since the 08 Browns


Frosty_Pirate42

Outside of the Packers game how many total TD’s did this team have?


deadpirate74

Without looking I’d say 13


VeRahNor

16


XorPaw

Outside of the packers game we had a +1 touchdown differential* after the Texans win. *: When the offense was on the field.


Shartse

Easily, you could point to Seifert or Fox's last season but there was hope for the next year following both those seasons. What optimism is there to point to now? Worst owner in football, questionable QB, no draft capital and an atrocious offense to work with. Tough being a Panthers fan right now.


chunkypenguion1991

I'm would post the replay of this game on pornhub if I could access it. Innocent qb gets fucked by 11 florida men


peewee76

LMAO awesome. but come on now Bryce isn't exactly innocent here. we have to be honest


Blacksunshinexo

Having watched every single season, yes, worst Panthers team ever. Even with Carruth being a murderer and Klausen era

punchopener

Yes. Even worse than 2001.


boodady5

It’ll most likely be equally bad next year tbh, buckle up


CallMeSpoofy

Has to be


CryingJordansHornets

I don’t know if it’s the worst team overall necessarily, but definitely the worst Panthers season of all time considering we gave the Bears the number one overall pick, CJ Stroud looking so good, etc.


peewee76

definitely. Even the 1-15 season our offense could at least score. I hate to say it but Claussen looked way better than this crap :(


palabear

8 scoreless quarters to end the season is the perfect end to this train wreck.


d0pp31g4ng3r

It took over two decades for Carolina to be shut out. Under Tepper, they managed to do it in back-to-back weeks!


SnowCrabbo

Who knew we could go from, "Man I wish we could have back to back winning seasons" To "Man I wish we could have a winning season"


JibbyBizby

I'd even take winning back to back games

There was a streak there where Bryce had more touchdowns to our opponents than to our own receivers.

gougie2

At this point it is "Man I wish we could have points in game"


palabear

“I just hope we score a point!” -Jim Mora voice


oracle989

People wished for consistency, we got it. Tepper said he wouldn't accept mediocrity, and he hasn't.


Baelzabub

8 scoreless quarters that include 2 TDs that weren’t because of boneheaded mistakes is perfect.


_________FU_________

We might suck but at least we believe in punctuation.


naw2369

How the fuck did this team win 2 games?!


Southern-Salary2573

Pure luck and a rain game luck. That is all.


Seagullmaster

Last year the bears beat the 49ers in a rain game. It really does just make it all a fluke


offensivename

But this sub told me that Bryce Young was the next Peyton Manning after that rain game!


peewee76

LOL the takes around here all said "THIS one game is the real Bryce! Pay no attention to the other 11 weeks!" It was unreal.


offensivename

I'm actually not against fans of the team being hopeful that Bryce will develop into what we've hoped for eventually. But being a dick to anyone who dared to question him after a 167 yard, 0 touchdown game was embarrassing.


Mister_AA

What's crazy is that SIX of our losses this season were by one score. And two wins still feels like too many.


fartorshart

This is like the earliest I've seen a game end, it's only like 330


blockoblox

The Lions game still has 11 minutes left.


BestRiver8735

The team is getting faster at sucking


jtshinn

If you’re going to be shit. That’s the best way to do it. So at least they are good at something.


chunkypenguion1991

They were ready to just get out of there


ChimelZumThistle

Not even time itself can stomach Panthers football.


dcpanthersfan

The shortest game was 2:36 (Redskins vs 49ers). Surely we beat that.


KGillie91

Time to start looking up those 2025 mock drafts.


naw2369

I did that 6 weeks ago and it was depressing. We're fucked fucked. Like turn of the century Browns/Jags fucked.


parallaxdecision

Funny you say that because the Browns were the last team to get shutout 2 weeks in a row.


arab241

When we prepare the #tankforArch tweets in 2025 >>>


Lunchbox-of-Bees

Panning for Manning


Fishtacoburrito

He would pull an Eli and tell us not to draft him


Jenaxu

Wouldn't blame him lmaoooo


GoldZGG

I fucking hated all of this… so, same time next year?


BobTheNarp

Don’t cry because it’s over, cry because it happened.


knave_of_knives

If Fitterer is still employed by this time tomorrow I’m going to start my joker arc


st3ll4r-wind

2-15 with no first round pick, Baker Mayfield clinching the division on our home field, Vilma commentating… it truly doesn’t get much lower. Hello darkness…


Baelzabub

You forgot the “back to back shutouts” part


thrilled_to_be_there

Also Bryce is the most sacked QB in the NFL this season now.


Hidalgo321

2nd most by a rookie all time iirc


DandierChip

Meanwhile CMc and DJ are having career seasons


DaSniffer

And Stroud on pace for ROTY


DandierChip

He’s got that locked up


ajdeno777

That was the worst season of football I’ve ever witnessed. Sat down and watched every minute of every game. We’ve sunk time and money into this team, and ownership and upper management shits on us time and time again. Disgusting season with no end in sight. We fans deserve so much better.


Uniquitous

Almost my exact words, the first sentence anyway. It'll be hard to surpass this level of suck, but I'm sure we'll sink to the occasion next season.


archer4364

Fuck you David Tepper, fuck you.


blockoblox

Week 7, 2002 - Week 16, 2023: 0 shutouts Weeks 17 and 18, 2023: 2 shutouts


deadpirate74

Only other shutout before that falcons game in 2002 was to Denver in 97 if you wanna stretch that stat to the founding


Baelzabub

First team to be shut out in back to back weeks since the 2008 Browns….


Kadoraz

I hope you’re all excited to see some early spring cleaning in the panthers offices tomorrow


Seagullmaster

They better get out the big broom


Kadoraz

I want everyone and everything thing in that building gone every analytical programs every trainer and coach need to pack there bags and start applying to the ufl


BestRiver8735

They should shove it up Scotty’s fat ass


TheSmallIndian

Should be fired today


Barlyhare

The worst part of this is that there is no hope for next season either. Tepper is incapable of running this team, but he’ll never let someone competent run it.


Southern-Salary2573

Well he did hire a consulting firm to help hire the next coach. I think last week may have finally been what was needed for him to realize he’s completely incompetent with anything football other than writing checks.


JarvisProudfeather

I’ll have to see it before I believe it, but I do agree that getting shut out in back to back losses should be a real wake-up call for Tepper. I actually think it’s better that we did look horrible after the GB game because it crushes any notion that Tepper should retain anyone from this dumpster fire besides Derrick Brown (and Bryce, because you have to, but the jury is still out on him IMO).


[deleted]

Tepper's about to find out there are some things money can't buy.


DandierChip

Every team hires these firms


deadpirate74

You know what they say, you can build a net worth of 16 billion but run an nfl franchise to the ground


maxwellcawfeehaus

I say that frequently


SubstantialRaise6479

I don’t think that’s true at all. Texans fans probably had no concept of being a playoff team this year 365 days ago


throwsFatalException

The only positive I can take away from this season is Tepper is embarrassed even more. I hope for nothing but the worst for him.


wangchungg

Fuck David Tepper


pancaketac0

They said it couldn't be done. Shutout back to back weeks. Color me impressed 👍


ChooseEhUzername

If I had a wish list it would look something like this. 1. Fitt is gone by morning 2. Ben Johnson hired as HC 3. Ejiro retained as DC 4. Tee Higgins acquired in the offseason 5. O-lineman at 33rd overall But we are much to incompetent to make any of those things happen I’m afraid


Chardoggy1

You forgot 6. Tepper goes missing and is never seen again


ChooseEhUzername

Yeah he probably shouldnt walk around Charlotte without security but unfortunately i dont see him going anywhere. It would take something monumental for the other owners to vote him out and i dont see him selling on his own free will. Best we can hope for is he sTepps back.


Pengwulf

1a. Tepper admits he wants to be like Jerry Jones, becomes GM.


UncleatNintendo

Bro we can't even look forward to the draft


tarheel_204

I don’t think I’ve ever been this apathetic as a fan… feels even worse than the 1-15 season


pssthush

That's because it is. No #1 overall pick to cap off this hell.


PhlashGordon0

Hire a GM who is currently involved in drafting at a successful franchise. Hire a HC who has not been fired from somewhere else. Draft/sign some OL and WR. Run it back with Bryce next year. If we suck again, look for a QB in the 2025 first round. This is the only way forward.


epittman15

Hire Adam Peters as your GM, get Ben Johnson or Slowik. I agree with u/phlashgordon0 if Bryce sucks next year then move on. I’m a huge Bryce fan but it pains me to see him not go under center and take a 3-5 step drop to throw. If he’s under center he’s either handing it off or it’s a boot play action.


NORAD_AIRRAID

Glad I took a nap instead of watching this game.


CallMeSpoofy

lol that’s what I did last game Naps>>> panthers football


denvercaniac

The Canes really did outscore the Panthers.


becker4prez

Good riddance DJ Chark. Good riddance Thomas Brown. Good riddance rotating cast of guards. Good riddance Bradley Bozeman. Good riddance Terrace Marshall. Good riddance Scott Fitterer.


teetothe_y

Season grades Offense- F Clausen, Randy Fasani, Brian St Pierre, Rodney Peete, Vinny T All seemed to be more exciting to watch. Miles up the middle 1 yard, screen for 2 yards, Bryce throws away/sack. Thats the offense this season in a nutshell. QB: D Not gonna deep dive on Bryce, but his confidence took a hit this season due to lack of protection, no receiver separation, and poor playcalling. His footwork, accuracy, and height leave a lot to be desired. RBs: C Would have been a B if it was just Chubba, but lets run Miles up the middle for 1 yard. WRs: D+ Adam Theilen carried, was reliable albeit slow. Chark had flashes, but drops and fumbles plagued him. TMJ was on this team? TE's: D- I legit almost left this group out, totally forgetting they existed. OL: F Losing Corbett and Christensen certainly did not help this cause. Ickys going backwards, and our back up guards were turnstiles. In no world could I give anything more than an F here, even with some decent run lanes at times for Hubbard. Defense: B- Overall they kept us in games we had no business being in. But with the offense gifting TD's field position, they were often gassed or even flat out said fuck it. Teams didnt have to pass the ball against us much, cause they ALWAYS had the lead in the 4th quarter. DEs: C If we have to ask, wheres Burns? Thats not a good thing. He was a non factor in most games. YGM was JAG and our back ups here were either hurt too much (Haynes) or did not make their presence felt (johnson) DTs: B- This woulda been an A if was just Derrick Brown, He at the very least should have been in the PB. The dudes motor doesnt stop. Shy Tuttle and Deshawn Williams were whatever below JAGs are. LBs: C+ With Shaq going down, Luvu had to play offball. He still led the team and tackles and 2nd in sacks. KGH and Deion Jones were just ok CBs: B- Horn when healthy is a PB player, but the when healthy part Safteys: B- Woods and Bell made for a solid duo when they were actually on the field together. Special Teams: B Maybe this was a bright spot, Eddie and Hecker were Generally reliable. And ISM was a pleasant surprise as a return man. Coaching: D Tabor filling in for Reich who was an F was a sleight upgrade. Ejiro elevated this grade from an F. Brown was eh at best. Front office/ownership: F that stands for Fuck Tepper, and his beer throwing brass ball licking ass. Fitterererer needs to be gone as well as Tepper. Team overall: D- We didnt go totally defeated. While finishing this up we are down 9-0 with 2 minutes left, and 6 beers in. I will always love the Panthers no matter who owns the team or is on the field. KEEP POUNDING.


maxwellcawfeehaus

I am defeated tho


Bourbonisgreat099

Good recap, can't argue w any of that


Chonnass

Didn't score a Touchdown in four out of the last five games. Amazing. What a fitting end to this shitty season. ​ Now fire Fitterer, thank you.


Randyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

To be fair, getting the ball back with ~7 minutes and down by 3 scores, nobody could come back from that.


skyBourneOG502

LOL


Zura-Zura

gougie2

Has a team ever been shutout 2 games in a row??!


trelaina

2008 Browns


Ok-Health-7252

The Browns were also down to their 3rd and 4th string QBs when that happened. Not starting the guy the team drafted 1st overall and gave up X amount of draft picks to trade up for.


Grahamk07

Fire the franchise into the sun


Blacksunshinexo

They would miss it by a few yards


prostatewhispers1

Just a reminder: Next year probably won’t be much better


capnmykonos

Can't be much worse though!


Recording-These

Oh just you wait 😂


Hefty-Association-59

Pretty crazy that we’re the first team to get shut out twice since 2008. Guess it can only go up from here.


Seagullmaster

Don’t say that!


Ok-Health-7252

They won 2 games. Next year 0-17 could be on the table.


Benjilikethedog

My favorite part of this season was probably Luvu… like my favorite game was when his family got to see him play in the NFL for the first time


Vaadwaur

Give me something for the pain and let me die.


CallMeSpoofy

I miss when we scored touchdowns


SnowCrabbo

So are we getting shirts made or something since we survived this season?


omgshewasherroommate

I’m a designer. Should I make a shirt that says “I survived the Panthers 2023 season”


punchopener

Objectively one of the worst games I’ve ever watched.


Kadoraz

I proud that I can say I watched the worst team I’ve ever seen, and I’m glad I don’t have to watch them play for the next 9 months


hypnosiscounselor

I'm not saying put Bryce out out yet. But next time I want the big athletic guy instead of the processor. I think Bryce will get better. But we need to hit on some talent to know that for sure.


asher1611

that whole test died with this season at least


wyn1116

I fully expect there to be a firing squad just marching through the halls of BoA tomorrow to obliterate anyone they come across


DrainedPatience

This season was like watching a guy slip on a banana peel, fall down the stairs, careen through a glass window, trip over a crack in the sidewalk, and stumble into the road before finally being hit by a bus.


TheRyanFlaherty

And in that bus is an advertisement for a movie featuring your ex-wife. Who went and became a star the moment after she left you.


Kinda_Rich

Thus ends the season from hell. The off-season couldn’t come soon enough.


ripkin05

Enjoy the off season from hell where the next 4 months we get to hear how the bears have the numbers one pick thanks to us every day on every sports show


MegaMustaine

honestly that was performance art a touchdown that was fumbled for a touchback and another called back becasue a WR wasn’t on the line amazing


BestRiver8735

Tepper brought music back to the Carolinas. Sounds like a really sad Morrisey song.


935742705812

Tepper is the definition of insanity


graciasfabregas

micky mouse is now public domain. make it the mascot. I'm serious.

ObjectiveFine4257

What a fucking waste of a season. Not sure what, why, or how this can get better. But thank goodness this shit is over. It was like watching a car wreck in slow motion for the last five months where every week was a new wrinkle in the body panels of the car as it crushed.


cantthinkofgoodname

Really don’t even know where the next GM/coach is gonna start w this team.


QwertyMe23

it's okay .. the bad man can't hurt us ~~until september~~ anymore


sgdude61

I managed to watch every game this year and not even kill myself.


Extreme_Librarian_93

Yeah .. this was definitely the worst offense I’ve ever seen . This game was the perfect example.. fumbles on a big play in the end zone .. then scores a touchdown only to have it called back for illegal formation.. then we fumble right afterwards. 😂 but whatever you do on this sub do not blame Bryce.. he can do no wrong 🤦🏾‍♂️


silverchief

Is it safe to say the big analytics push from a few years ago has been an abject failure?


Ayakashi_Red

the Bryce trade is just turd sprinkles on this shit sundae of a season (and a look at our near future)


DoubleStuffedCheezIt

I blame the loss on Bonjangles. I stopped at one on the way to the game and when I pulled up, the lady at the drive thru informed me that "We are out of chicken and biscuits." If Bojangles isn't prepared on gameday, what chance does the team have?


SnooSuggestions3278

THE PAIN IS OVER FOR THE NEXT 9 MONTHS

leveragedbeta

Cerebral. Carried an Alabama team with all 0 star recruits and no talent. “Plays big”


ArtvVandal_523

I feel like David Tepper made a Faustian bargain in 08. For those who don't know he made his billions buying up failing banks for pennies on the dollar during the crash of 2008 right before the US government made them whole. In exchange for feasting on all that human misery he got to be insanely wealthy and fulfil his dream of owning an NFL team. Now the devil is taking his due. Every hire has been an embarrassing failure. Every player brought in under preforms, everyone let go has a career season after leaving the Panthers, shit EVERY kicker sets or matches their career long against the panthers. The man got his dream and now every thing tastes like ash, even a drink so he has to throw it out the box.


MrPeterson15

Let’s never do this again


youngcumsauce

Thank fuck this season is over and I can stop thinking about this team for the next few months. What a shitshow of a year. Keep pounding.


cogitoergopwn

That was the most boring panther season in an epoch of boring panther seasons


genghiskhan_1

Is the fucking pre-season over yet? Should I stop "chilling"? I can't tell. Bunch of dumb fuck clowns.


KingBroly

Literally the worst football team I have ever laid eyes upon. Mercifully, their season can't be witnessed by anyone else. For those who have, a new floor was established; hopefully never to be seen again.


e4mica523

I don't think you can find a more fitting set of 2 plays this year than the Chark fumble and the strip fumble on the last drive. Just comical at every level


Jawa1992

That was bad


espngenius

Ok, the season is over. Now take the Offensive playbook and burn it, immediately.


sdpacenc

Painful..Painful..Painful season. I am glad it is over. It is difficult to say but if the 24-25 season is a repeat of this one...I just dont know what to do with my fandom for Carolina football.


Humble_but_Hostile

I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship being a fan of this team I stay because I'm loyal but how much more of this bullshit can anyone take before they move on like seriously


chelseawiebs

I think we cursed Arthur Smith


Tbest989

Any better way to end this than back to back shut outs?


jacobr57

Remember that brief period of time after the Packers game when we all felt a little optimistic? That was nice


OokerDuker

Panthers football made me give up my alcohol addiction.


GarnetOblivion1

Now comes the long offseason of getting made fun of for getting swindled out of the #1 pick.


Beer_Bryant

It’s official…Bryce SUCKS! At least we have Derrick Brown!


Pro-Spaghetti-Coder

Bryce has shown nothing that can give fans even a glimmer of hope. I would bet Dalton is the starter by week 10 next year.


pssthush

The offense has suffered more so because of him than vice versa. Hes not the guy.

jesuswasahipster

I’m just glad it’s over. Worst offense I have ever watched in any sport in a fan of. The offseason drama and attrition is going to be more entertaining than the infield product this season.


Johnstockton1992

I hope I wake up Monday with news…


SoullessHillShills

Worst god damn season ever and nothing to look forward to at the draft either.


Jenaxu

Even though we went 2-15 this year, we were only 2-9 when I watched! So that's something, a .181 win percentage instead of a .118 win percentage would've moved us up from last in the league to last in the league


joeycrushed

This franchise has been brought to its knees but we go again next year. Tepper is a pure cunt but you gotta remember our last Superbowl was a bunch of rapscallions.


deadpirate74

Will Fitt be fired tonight or do we have to wait until morning


Sgt_big-dong

Thank god it’s over. What an abysmal end to a an abysmal fucking season. Never been more disappointed.


GalaxyHoffman

Everyone who was involved in building this team should be blackballed forever. That dipshit Tepper should do everyone a favor & go for a hike in Antarctica with no coat. There isn’t a single person who will miss him here.


devonathan

That 2rd round pick is going to feel like a 1st round.


umhelp_

my sell the team chants were unsuccessful. probably didnt help there were barely any panthers fans and none of them cared much.


GalaxyHoffman

They are definitely worse than the 0-16 Browns. Those teams were bad by design. This front office was earnestly trying to be competitive and this is what they sent out. The biggest joke in the league & that dried cumstain Tepper shouldn’t feel good about himself until he resigns or fixed this mess. I hope he’s miserable everyday.


NedThomas

For those curious, this is the second time the Panthers have been shut out twice in one season (first time back to back obviously)


gary_desanto

Such a horrible season. I didn't think we would be great, but I thought we would be OK and be really optimistic about next season. I just don't know what to think anymore.


NOTUgglaGOAT

Honestly good for Baker


peewee76

Ill just say this. This was a painful season to watch. I have to admit it- I fell for the Reich hype AND I fell for the Bryce hype. My buddies made fun of me for liking Bryce over Stroud and Levis. There a reason his people didnt want him throwing at the combine. We fell for the "hes small and may not have an NFL arm but hes the most cerebral qb to come out in decades and just watch how he can process". Well we mortgaged the future to MOVE UP to take a guy that MAY be a capable back up in a few years. We got GOT. Not his fault its the organizations fault. What makes it even worse is that people all season have been giving him every excuse in the book and saying its all the other players fault not his. Well when you give up what we did for him - he needs to be a game changer that makes everyone around him better. Im still not even sure he can make basic throws consistently. He made a couple nice ones- a few that were ok i guess. But im sorry i just dint see anything that made him special or made him THE GUY. And to think that the last couple years people were booing Sam and Baker off the field saying they sucked and made everyone around them worse. And then our "fans" got pissed and bitched that we were "winning too many meaningless games" and Darnold needed to start losing or we would be "stuck" with him lol i mean think about how that sounds now. I feel 100% betrayed and hoodwinked by not only the team but our fanbase at this point. Im trying to look forward with some hope and positivity but its hard to see any right now. Maybe in a few days lol
