That was a rough one for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. 

After losing at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8, it was a quick turnaround for the Panthers, heading to Green Bay to face off against the Packers. They left with a lot of questions and concerns in a 27-19 loss.

The Panthers struggled on both sides of the ball and allowed Green Bay to jump out to an early lead and never really look back in this one. While the Panthers did cut into the lead to make it a one-score game, their struggles continued again and the game was sealed with two stalled drives at the end. 

It was an ugly performance for the Panthers, and now it drops them to 3-4 overall as they head into a longer week. The loss also saw the Panthers' playoff hopes take a hit as they entered this game at 3-3 and in control of the NFC South. But they could now be in second place by the end of the weekend, depending on what the Atlanta Falcons so. 

Let's get into our three takeaways from this game and what it means moving forward for this team. 

We knew that the Panthers were going to be shorthanded on the line as they were missing a few interior linemen, including their top guy, Damien Lewis. But it was on the outside where they really struggled.

Both Rasheed Walker and Monroe Freeling were struggling as the Packers got to Bryce Young early and often. They did so with overwhelming blitzes as well as beating the tackles. 

On the game, the Packers generated a 52.2 percent pressure rate against the Panthers per Sumer Sports. That was in the 93 percentile this season. They REALLY struggled. 

Sticking with the injury theme, the Panthers secondary was struggling. They couldn't really do anything against Jordan Love aside from an interception. But the bad came when Packers' receivers dropped the football, not Panthers' defensive backs making plays. 

For most of the game, Love looked comfortable. The Panthers tried sending the blitz, doing so at 44 percent, but didn't sack Love once. That left a lot of one-on-ones where the Packers took advantage.

When Carolina got anything going on offense, it was usually with Chuba Hubbard. He finished the game with 81 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. But he had seven receptions for 38 yards. 

The Panthers best offense was usually Young escaping the pocket and finding Hubbard as a check down.
