No one is feeling good about what’s happening with the Carolina Panthers right now, including wideout Adam Thielen.
The veteran receiver couldn’t help but let his frustrations out during Sunday’s home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. He boiled over a bit after a failed third-down try in the third quarter, when quarterback Bryce Young ate a sack from four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Joey Bosa.
CBS cameras captured Thielen shouting as he headed over to the sideline . . .

At that point, the Panthers were down 23-3. Young had completed nine of his 13 passing attempts (none of which were thrown Thielen’s way) for just 34 yards and another interceptionâhis third of the season.
As a unit, the Carolina offense successfully converted on zero of their seven third-down looks. They mustered up all of 89 total yards, with only 19 coming through the passing game.
