A Fayetteville family is considering filing theft charges against Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton after they said he ripped down a banner and destroyed it ahead of Sunday’s game against the Packers at Bank of America Stadium. Carolina hasn’t lost at home since November 16, 2015, and they are in a terrific position to earn home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs with a two-game lead in the standings.

For the fan, it was an act he wants to be compensated for, even though the rules precluded him from displaying it in the first place. He ranks 26th in passer rating (81.3) and passing yards per game (228), while throwing for a worse completion percentage than 30 other starting quarterbacks (53.7).
With the win, the Panthers improved to 8-0 on the season, including 5-0 at home. Of course the Panthers will probably do that but these cheese heads are getting out of hand about their banner.
“I was shocked because that was the one thing that I wanted to prevent by following all of the policies, all the procedures”, Dobs told ABC 11 in Fayetteville.
They have connected just five times for 78 yards.
Rodgers threw 3 yards to tight end Richard Rodgers with 3:43 left and suddenly Carolina’s 23-point lead shrunk to 37-29. But the Panthers’ defense was able to pressure Rodgers when it needed to and kept him off-balance.
“I’m most disappointed about the last play”.
All around nice guy Rodgers was shown on the sidelines watching back an interception play on a Surface Pro during Sunday’s surprise loss to the Carolina Panthers. In the receiving end, Randall Cobb had 99 yards and one touchdown in four receptions while Devante Adams added 93 yards in seven receptions.
“I had an easy opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something”, Rodgers said, referring to the pressure from Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short. Still, he said it wasn’t close to being his best game. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times and hit several more times.
“I’m not commenting on it. I’m not going to get into it, because I’m going to go back and watch tape”, Niners coach Jim Tomsula said. Likely a key stretch with the Packers now tied at the top of the division standings with Minnesota at 6-2.

“We know who we are as a team”, safety Roman Harper said. Didn’t play as well as we’re capable of playing, and that’s the disappointment.
