I need you to brace yourselves, Panthers fans. A lot of the complaints and observations that you are about to read are going to sound eerily familiar. I spoke this week with Eric Thompson of the Daily Norseman about the Minnesota Vikings and their season so far. From questionable coaching decisions that, by virtue of being too conservative, actively hold their team back to inconsistent play and wildly chaotic luck that makes every game a toss up, these Vikings may remind you of Panthers teams from seasons past.
While Carolina has ostensibly solved the root issues responsible for those formerly identifying characteristics, the chaos has not completely left this team.
