Panthers fans react to firing of HC Frank Reich

Here’s how Panthers fans are taking the news of Frank Reich’s firing

You can’t blame Carolina Panthers fans for going through it.

On Monday morning, their team announced the firing of head coach Frank Reich—who now departs from the organization after just 11 games. He leaves with the Panthers at an NFL-worst 1-10 and is now the third head coach to be fired in owner David Tepper’s six-year reign.

Here’s how the fans are reacting to the latest hiccup from their struggling franchise:

Panthers fans react to Bryce Young’s Cam Newton-esque run, celebration vs. Titans

Panthers QB Bryce Young broke out the Cam Newton moves (and celebration) on an impressive 11-yard run in Week 12.

They haven’t played many good tunes this season, but the Carolina Panthers are looking to put on a bop in the Music City this afternoon.

Quarterback Bryce Young hit a couple of electric notes in the second quarter, including one on this phenomenal run on a third-and-10 . . .

The rush picked up 11 yards and a first down for the Panthers, who closed up shop after a 14-play, 47-yard drive. They then cashed in with a 50-yard field goal from kicker Eddy Piñeiro.

Here’s how Panthers fans reacted to the scintillating scramble and sweet celebration . . .

Panthers fans angrily react to Frank Reich taking back play-calling duties from Thomas Brown

Panthers fans are none too pleased with HC Frank Reich’s decision to reclaim play-calling duties from OC Thomas Brown.

The Carolina Panthers probably aren’t singing “Kumbaya” right now.

On Wednesday, head coach Frank Reich confirmed that he’ll be reclaiming play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The announcement comes just three games after Reich had handed over the responsibility to his first-year coordinator.

Oh, and you know who’s definitely not singing “Kumbaya” either? Yup, the fed-up fan base . . .

Panthers fans react to embarrassing Week 10 loss to Bears

Panthers fans react to their team’s most embarrassing defeat of the season:

On Thursday night, the (previously) 1-7 Carolina Panthers went to 1-8 after losing to the (previously) 2-7 Chicago Bears—the team who owns their first-round pick in the upcoming draft. Oh, and they lost against an undrafted rookie quarterback . . . while having this year’s No. 1 overall pick under center.

So, as you’d imagine, Panthers fans were further down in the dumps following the 16-13 defeat . . .

Twitter reacts to Ihmir Smith-Marsette’s electric 79-yard punt return TD

Panthers WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette lit up the Bears (and Twitter) with a 79-yard punt return for a TD on Thursday night.

Never mind tonight’s hype behind DJ Moore or even D’Onta Foreman. We have another revenge game brewing!

The first blood drawn in Thursday’s prime-time matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears came courtesy of wideout Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The former Bear, at around the six-minute mark of the first quarter, took back a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Take a look:

Smith-Marsette’s house call, which probably came as no surprise to him, is the first for the franchise since 2017.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the electric runback:

It happened again.

Just when the Carolina Panthers looked like they were back in Sunday’s slugfest against the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Bryce Young tossed another pick-six. Oh, and it was to the same exact guy.

With the score at 20-10 and almost a whole fourth quarter left to play, the Panthers trekked their way down to the Colts’ 34-yard line. But Young, while looking for running back Miles Sanders on a screen, found the hands of cornerback Kenny Moore II for the second time on the day—who put up six more points on a 66-yard return.

Here’s how the Carolina fans are dealing with the backbreaking turnover:

Bryce Young just wrapped up a horrific first half of football for the Carolina Panthers with one of the most horrific throws you may ever see.

Down 13-3 and trying to draw closer by the break, the No. 1 overall pick looked off his initial target and threw a blind pass to the flat for running Chuba Hubbard. But the thing was—Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II was also there . . .

Carolina ended the half having collected just 62 total yards, with eight coming through the air. Young, who was sacked three times, completed seven of his 14 attempts for 35 and the pick.

So, as you’d imagine, Panthers fans aren’t taking this one too well . . .

There was plenty of excitement to go around following the Panthers’ first win of the season.

The Carolina Panthers entered their Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans without a single win in the 2023 season. Heck, if you even want to sprinkle in their three preseason outings, they were 0-9 on the campaign.

But that 0 had to go on Sunday, as the Panthers pulled out a memorable 15-13 victory. And, as expected, there was plenty of relief and jubilation to go around on the field, inside the locker room and on social media.
