It was a complete catastrophe.
Optimism was relatively high among the Carolina Panthers' fan base entering the 2025 season. It didn't take long for that to evaporate.
Dave Canales was adamant that his squad could be more competitive. He was bullish about their chances of surprising people and giving everybody a run for their money. Based on Carolina's inept showing against the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin the campaign, they're a long way from reaching this standard.
The Jaguars won't have many easier afternoons than this.
