As I said last week, the Panthers aren’t expected to have a successful 2020 season, but their Week 1 loss to the Raiders showed me that while they probably won’t rack up many wins this year, they’ll at least be a team that puts up a fight and doesn’t give too many games away.
Considering this is the first year of a rebuild under a completely new regime, that’s really all we can ask for. Our Reacts survey users seem to agree, as fan confidence rose from 59 percent to 70 percent after the Panthers’ 34-30 loss to the Raiders in Week 1.
