The Carolina Panthers didn’t play a game in Week 7, which means they didn’t lose and fall to 4-3 on the season. However, a few fans lost a bit of the confidence they had after the team’s 37-26 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. After reaching 84 percent in last week’s survey, fan confidence dropped five points this week to a still respectable 79 percent heading into Week 8.

Regular season Week 4 — 42%
Regular season Week 5 — 68%
Regular season Week 6 — 77%
Regular season Week 7 — 84%

Perhaps it’s the upcoming opponent that has a few Panthers fans rethinking their confidence level.
