CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers aren’t just bad this season. They are boring.
What’s going wrong is the reason the stands were only about two-thirds full — at best — at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday in Carolina’s 26-16 loss to Arizona, and will likely be less full one week from now for the next home game.
The Panthers (1-3) are boring because they have a sludge-filled, mistake-prone offense. Carolina was rightly booed by its home fans after Baker Mayfield had a fourth-down pass tipped at the line — his fourth tipped ball of the game, and it wouldn’t be the last — with 9:13 left and Carolina down by 10.
