Pick your poison
Green Bay's offense is one of the most potent in the NFL, and the Packers lead in a number of statistical categories. Green Bay tops the NFL with 31.5 points per game and is second with 397.6 net yards per game.
The Packers are second in passing yards (273.8) and 10th in...
CHARLOTTE – The Panthers had a walk-through Tuesday, and had to submit a hypothetical injury report for it since they're playing at Green Bay Saturday night.

"I'm going to go try to win the last three games, so I'm going to put the guys that earned the right to start or play in," he began, settling in for what clearly was going to be an extended metaphor, a parable perhaps.
"I just don't think it's a great message to the team to start making this a...
CHARLOTTE – Wide receiver DJ Moore is obviously an important part of the Panthers' offense.
It wasn't previously understood he was this kind of crucial.
The Panthers struggled offensively in ways beyond anything that could be pinned on Moore's absence, losing 32-27 to the Broncos to fall to...
After forcing Denver to punt from deep in their own territory, a 13-yard punt return by Pharoh Cooper would have given the Panthers the ball at the 50-yard line with 2:48 left.
That's a very manageable starting spot (even with no timeouts), except for the holding penalty on Natrell Jamerson on...
HEAD COACH MATT RHULE
RE: Opening Statement
Obviously unbelievably disappointed with the result of today. I thought it was not our best, most well-played football game. I thought our team showed a lot of heart fighting back to give us a chance. To have the ball at the end with a chance to go...
Rhule has mentioned "execution" a number of times after games, because as they go through this building process, he keeps reminding people that winning close games is not as simple as deciding to, or saying a set of magic words to make people have the confidence to close games. It's being lined...
CHARLOTTE – As expected, running back Christian McCaffrey will not face his hometown team Sunday. McCaffrey, who tweaked a thigh injury in Wednesday's practice, is inactive for the Panthers' home matchup with the Broncos.

A WILLING VOLUNTEER
With all the talk about missing players early in the week, and the Broncos' unusual quarterback situation two weeks ago, there was some talk this week about disaster plans.
The Panthers have at least one volunteer to change positions in case of emergency, who actually...

CHARLOTTE – The Panthers will be without running back Christian McCaffrey this week, but they did get enough other key parts back Friday, which should help after a strange week of practice.
McCaffrey did not practice Friday and was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos...
"He executed it flawlessly," Melton said. "I mean, so much could have gone wrong. The pen could have been lost, maybe he doesn't throw it as far as he did, but he nailed it."
And it wasn't lost on them at the time, but it was also pretty out-of-character for the young McCaffrey. He's been...
