December 27, 2017:  It’s Official! The Panthers are in the playoffs with a win over the Buccaneers but at a cost: Damiere Byrd is back on Injured Reserve for the remainder of the season. On the flip side, it was great to see a Jameis Winston post-game tantrum. Even with the playoffs locked in there is still a lot to play for in Week 17! Not only is it Rivalry Week with the Falcons but the...

December 19, 2017:  The team is up for sale, but it’s not time to pack it in.

December 12, 2017:  This week, WE BE JAMIN’!  The Vikings were picked by everybody to win, but the Panthers had other plans. We take an in-depth look at the Panthers’ big win over the Vikings after that stinkfest in New Orleans the previous week.  Everyone has Game Balls to give out, but what about Towels of Shame after such an important win? What did Cam mean when he said the team had...

November 16, 2017: The Panthers swagger into the BYE week at 7-3 after dominating Miami on Monday Night Football. Franchise records were set and Cam was named NFC offensive player of the week! Sadly, we have lost Curtis Samuel for the season. Greg Olsen is doing good things with Levine Children’s Hospital. And how did we do on our game planning against Miami? Who takes home game balls and...

November 7, 2017:  Your Carolina Panthers improve to 6-3 while holding onto the 5th playoff spot! The Falcons came to town, and the Pamother’s (with some help from the Roaring Riot) gave them the business – and without Kelvin Benjamin. Typical of our impeccable timing, KB13 was traded to Buffalo after we recorded our podcast last week and we finally get to share our thoughts on the...

Unless you have been living under a rock you are aware that the Panthers sent wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to Buffalo this week in exchange for a late 3rd and 7th round pick in the 2018 draft. It is said that the trade occurred less than hour before the Wednesday deadline. Benjamin joins former Panthers players Mike Tolbert and Joe Webb among others as well as former defensive coordinator Sean...

October 30, 2017:  For two weeks in a row the Panther’s score was 17-3 but this time in their favor as the defense had their way with Tampa.  The Cats improve to 5-3 with Luke Kuechly making his return from the concussion protocol. AND we got news that Greg Olsen is eligible to return to practice this week, so it looks like the Panthers could be getting stronger as we head into the second half of the season! We’re going to give you our Game Ball awards and Towels of shame for the Buccaneers game, as well as out keys to victory against Atlanta – our most-hated rival (and a history of why we hate them!) There’s going to be something to watch for in the sky over Charlotte on Sunday, and we also have a lot to say about the potential sale of the team and the economic benefits training camp brings to Spartanburg. This one is as much fun as watching yourself catch a touchdown on the jumbotron.

Watch Graham Gano be a badass and pop a football up into the official’s hands (it gets better with each loop)

Kelvin Benjamin Catch 

News broke late Friday afternoon that Luke Kuechly has been cleared to play on Sunday. After meeting with an independent doctor Friday afternoon Kuechly has been released from the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Our Tuesday Podcast looked back at the loss to the Bears as we broke down the Panthers’ breakdown. We also preview the upcoming game against the Buccaneers.

Earlier this week the Panthers once again signed wide receiver Kaelin Clay. The Panthers originally sent Clay to Buffalo in exchange for cornerback Kevon Seymour. The Panthers now have Clay back after claiming them off of the Buffalo waiver wire. Safety Demetrious Cox was placed on injured reserve to make room.

Also on Tuesday the Panthers signed kicker Roberto Aguayo to the practice squad as insurance against Graham Gano’s recent issue with knee aggravation. Aguayo was originally drafted in the second round by Tampa Bay in 2016 and has not fared well in the league but he is looking for a fresh start in Carolina.

Graham Gano was a no-show at practice on Friday but his absence is not related to his sore knee from last week but rather from a nasty bout of the flu.

Trai Turner, who injured his knee in Chicago also resumed full practice.

Kurt Coleman fully practiced this week. Coleman has been nursing a sprained MCL sustained in the matchup against New England. Coach Rivera expects Coleman to start on Sunday though he is listed as questionable. Also questionable: Graham Gano, Ed Dickson with an ankle injury and fullback Alex Armah with a hamstring.

Ryan Kalil did not practice Friday as his neck injury has resurfaced. Kalil is listed as out for Sunday as are running back Fozzy Whittaker and offensive tackle John Theus. Ron Rivera remarked that putting Kalil on injured reserve has not been considered.

Happy 24th Birthday, Panthers! This Thursday marked the 24th anniversary of the team’s founding in 1993.

On November 5th the Panthers will host the Atlanta Falcons. This will also be what we at the Roaring Riot are calling our “homecoming game” where Panthers fans from all chapters inside and outside the Carolinas will come together for an incredible weekend of events and – we hope – a Panthers win!

We are excited to partner with WFNZ in Charlotte and will be partying the Saturday night before at the WFNZ Dog House at the corner of Mint and Morehead streets just behind the stadium! Roaring Riot members can purchase tickets for just $28.03 which includes a special Homecoming t-shirt.
