Mage

I wanted to tank, but that was before I thought we had a legitimate chance to make the playoffs

LMAO if we are #1 in division heading into Week 9, oh my god

Dammit. I can't believe the Panthers got me believing in the season.

Yeah, if Winston returns and is healthy, then I would view them as the favorites. Winston ain't great but he's much better than Dalton. Bucs are still the favorites but man they seem like a team that will just get worse and worse as the season progresses due to their age. Also their upcoming schedule seems tough. We've already played the likes of the Cardinals, Rams, Browns, and 49ers. Bucs still have to play all 4 of them and Bengals, Ravens, Seahawks.

To be honest I didn't realize how trash the division was until Sunday.

The fact that the odds favor us being #1 in the division by the end of the way (I got Ravens over Bucs and us over Falcons, both seem like likely scenarios) is absolutely insane

If Bucs lose on Thursday (and they play the Ravens) and the Panthers win on Sunday, we lead the division. I agree I'm not sure I see that many wins left on our schedule... but do you see a lot of wins left on the Bucs/Saints/Falcons schedule? It is actually crazy that this team has a realistic shot at making the postseason

Bro there is absolutely no way he isn't getting tagged. Lamar Jackson is not hitting free agency. If you think he is then you are delusional. Even IF Jackson said he wouldn't play on the tag, Ravens would still tag him and then try to work out a trade But there is NO scenario where Jackson hits the open market. I will bet you my last dollar on that.

LOL if you think the Ravens aren't going to franchise tag Lamar Jackson

I mean even if we win we're 2-5.

Screw you Bucs

How dumb is Shi Smith

Is this the best the Panthers offense has played this year LMAO

WOW Chubba dropped a pass? NO WAY

Correlation /=/ Causation

He went #2 overall. In 5 years with the Colts, he averaged 1600 yards from scrimmage and 10 TDs. In his final season with the Colts, he led the league in total yards, was 4th in the league in receptions, and had over 900 receiving yards. He got more efficient with St. Louis, but everyone knew how much the Colts sucked so of course he wasn't terribly efficient. He was absolutely putting up HOF-caliber numbers even considering.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/running-back// I bet Jamaal Williams could be had for a fair contract. It will be interesting to see how much Hunt commands given his history and he'll be 28 years old next year. Josh Jacobs and Miles Sanders are also FAs.

FWIW, the upcoming free agency class for RBs is loaded and it is almost a guarantee one of them will have to take a below-market deal.

Ya'll do realize this just secured us the #1 overall pick, right? Well worth it.

Its also worth getting that 5th-year option that comes with 1st round picks too

If that gameplan by him on Sunday was him trying to win, then oh wee mayne https://theathletic.com/3693223/2022/10/18/nfl-power-rankings-week-6-2/

Panthers some dog

This team sucks. Not sure why anyone thinks we have a chance to win a game lol Only beat Saints cause they played broken back Jameis.

A draw play on 3rd down IS JEFF DAVIDSON BACK?

This is a competitive half by Panthers standards LMFAO
