Guess the Panthers primetime games


Recommended Posts

First of all, 100% chance that at least one of the Seahawks/Cowboys games is SNF/MNF... 75% chance that they both are. I'd guess Seahawks on MNF and Cowboys on SNF (because of NBC's obsession with the NFC East). I mentioned this before, but I honestly think we would've been in the season kickoff game had Pete Carroll not epically derped. There's just no logical way they DON'T make this a primetime game... Panthers-Seahawks is about to be the big rivalry in the NFC. They're already at elite status, and we're well on our way... we're going to be one of their big threats. Plus we're super similar to them, like that one dude on the Seahawks said. It's a highly-intriguing matchup that simply cannot be passed up for primetime. The Cowboys game is a huge primetime candidate too... two NFC contenders, and oh by the way a certain #76.
 
Inside the division, I think one of the Bucs games is a candidate for TNF because OMG CAM VS. JAMEIS. Falcons, slight shot (but I doubt it). Saints, no way... their run is over.
 
As for the others...
 
Redskins, Jaguars, Titans: Not a chance.
Eagles: Been done too many times in the past decade... I'd go with not happening.
Giants: Doubt it.
Texans: This is one that randomly strikes me as a primetime possibility (most likely TNF, but who knows?). Keep an eye out for it.
Colts: Of course it's possible since the Colts are good, but I'm actually doubting it gets picked for primetime.
Packers: After our stinker at Lambeau last season, we may well have scared away TPTB. I know our D was in a funk at that time, but still.

It's not a rivalry when they are winning every time. The Panthers will first have to change that, before the national media will see it as one.

Thursday games are almost always divisional.  Past two seasons we had Tampa in 2013 and New Orleans in 2014, so I'm guessing @Atlanta on Thursday night.

 

We made the playoffs so we'll get one Monday Night game, and I'm guessing it'll either be the Colts or Packers.

 

Could also see us @Seattle for an early season Sunday night game for a playoff rematch.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
