Cackalack Panthers Chat

While this weekend gave us many reasons to feel mournful, there were other reasons to feel incredibly grateful. The CPC Team and extended family all safely made it through the catastrophic storm, and many of us were able to gather and watch Andy Dalton once again lead a now-competitive Panthers team to a narrow loss against a Bengals team playing to save their season. When tragic times hit so close to home, we are reminded of the importance of our community - and at the end of the day, that's what football fandom and the CPC is all about.

The Red Rifle showed out in Vegas, posting the first 300 yard/3 TD game of the season, and the first Panthers win since 2021. Most importantly, he revitalized a team that looked dead in the water, and a fanbase that desperately needed a win.

The Panthers have officially benched their first overall pick of the 2023 draft. After years of woe, misery, and the worst record in the NFL during the Tepper era, the CPC Team have come to the conclusion that this organization is cursed. So, we wracked our brains and scoured the internet to concoct a series of rituals to exorcise the demons.

All we can say is that the Panthers technically "played" an NFL game this past Sunday.

Morgan and Canales came out swinging in their first draft. Will the risks inject some much needed talent into the roster? We'll have to wait and see. We won't, however, withhold our uneducated opinions.

The CPC Team discusses the new(new(new)) regime that will certainly lead the Panthers to glory - maybe in the next five years. Willstradamus makes a statement so bold, so confident, that it renders Reverend Spicey agape and speechless.

The most demoralizing, embarrassing, hopeless season in Panthers history is mercifully over, so the CPC Team reconvened to discuss what's next. Who can right the ship? How many years of suckitude will the fans endure? Will Tepper learn from his litany of mistakes and oversteps?

Help us break a 56 loss streak when the Panthers trail in the 4th quarter, for one.

Well, this season has not started the way anyone had hoped. 0-4 staring down the barrel of 0-6, questions around our first round draft pick, our coaching, our management, our ownership. These are the dark times, and the CPC team has decided to take a step back for a couple of weeks. We had a ton of fun with this episode and we're holding out hope for some positive developments to chat about in the coming weeks.

'“Man hands on misery to man,” Scott Fitterer said. “It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can–” Here he coughed, a ghastly sound, and his hands clutched his chest. “And don’t let your kids be Panthers fans,” he finished, and uttered a short, sharp laugh, before trading away the last of his draft picks to move up in the third round for a project receiver.'
