Well Falcons first. But we won't get another chance to discuss this. It will be set in stone pretty quick if we make the playoffs. So I want the Seahawks. If you go to the playoffs, you want to win the Super Bowl. We want the Seahawks in Charlotte, not in Seattle. 

 

Here's how I see it:

 

1 Cardinals

2 Lions

3 Cowboys

4 Panthers

5 Seahawks

6 Packers

 

We beat Seahawks, Packers beat Cowboys then we go to Detroit which is definitely a winnable game and we either go to Arizona where I think we could definitely have a chance against Lindley/Stanton and their beat up D or we get the Packers at home and we could have a chance now that our D is rounding out. We could beat them the same way the Bills did.

Remember what happened last time a team with a losing record played the defending super bowl champs in the playoffs?

 

If Fat Alisha isn't hanging from a telephone pole by now, having the inverse irony of what happened to his Saints occur again would be absolutely delicious.  And it might finally push that elephant off the ledge....

Top two are gonna be wrong.

 

Seattle and GB will win their divisions.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
