But the state of things now, at 1-7, are straight scary.
Charlotte Observer reporters Mike Kaye and Alex Zietlow break down the most frightening parts of the Carolina Panthers’ season at the NFL’s midway point on the latest episode of the Processing Blue podcast.
In this week’s recording, Kaye and Zietlow break down a bunch of questions. Among them: What went so wrong in Denver? Is it time to trade Young? And what about that Diontae Johnson trade to Baltimore ... did that make any sense?
