Currently sitting at 3-2-1

@ Green Bay

vs SeaHawks

vs Saints (Thursday Night)

@Eagles (MNF)

vs Falcons

Green Bay, Seahawks, and Eagles could have playoff seeding implications. Obviously, in order for us to own any tiebreaker over them we will need to beat these "creme of the crop" NFC teams.

Then we have two Divisional opponents that appear to be dead in the water, but it's still early, and due to the familiarity of the clubs' systems could go either way.

It's still early in the season, but I believe the next 5 weeks are the meat and potatoes of this season prior to heading into our very much needed bye week.

We will have the Saints at home in Prime Time just 4 days after hosting the defending SB Champs. Our record in Prime Time games as we all know isn't too good. I think the familiarity with the Taints helps us as far as preparation for TNF. Also their defense is pooty this year. As a whole their Defense has only scored 13 fantasy points all season. Ouch! I'd really like to see us force the fans of that urinal smelling city break out their paper bags one more time.

After TNF we get a "mini buy" because we travel to Philly for MNF the following week which gives us 10 days off until we next play again. We will undoubtedly need the rest at this juncture after 2 games in 5 days. It should also allow our coaching staff to properly prepare for the high powered Eagles Offense, and their more impressive Defense.

I don't know what our record will be after this stretch, but if we can come out of this stretch of our season healthy and get our RBs back and into gear, theres no telling how far we may or may not go. I do know that this stretch will afford us the opportunity to put some space between our Division foes, and possibly give us some breathing room as far as Playoff seeding.

After this stretch we have the following teams coming off of our Week 12 bye:

@ Minnesota

@ Saints

vs Bucs

vs Browns

@ Falcons

We could easily run the table after our bye week. I think we all would agree that this is the weak portion of our schedule, and the fact that we have it after our Bye could be extremely helpful in building momentum going into the playoffs. This could potentially give Hardy 5 games to get back in game shape before it truly matters (speculation assuming he's back with us by then)

I guess my point in this thread, was just to raise the awareness of how crucial the next 5 weeks truly are. Obviously it's "one week at a time" mentality, but when looking at the big picture we really can lock up our Division as early as weeks 14 or 15.

Here's to hoping we can rise to the occasion in the coming weeks!

      Top RB performances in Panthers history

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008) Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003) Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019) Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024) Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)   DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height. That year he averaged 94 yards a game. Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards. Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP. Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far. In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards. In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day.    Top 5 yards per carry. Dowdle 5:6 (2025) Williams: 5.5 (2008) Stewart: 5.1 (2009) Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019) Hubbard: 4.7 (2024) If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      The BY9 situation is classic sunk cost fallacy. We traded premium assets to get him. Every few games he flashes the traits that made him appealing (quick reads, touch, composure) but the macro picture doesnt lie. Hes producing at a bottom-tier level across efficiency metrics in yards per attempt, EPA/play, completion percentage over expected, and explosive plays. Instead of objectively reassessing, the organization continues to justify the investment - new coaches, new systems, new excuses - trying to salvage what was invested. Giving him a 5th year is a self inflicted would.  We need to take our lumps and move on
