That 4 game stretch....

@ Seahawks

vs. Eagles

vs. Colts

vs. Packers

 

On paper that looks like a brutal stretch, but let's look at who these teams play the week before they play the Panthers....

 

@Seahawks - Seahawks play on the road against the Bengals.  These two teams have not played each other since 2011 before Russell Wilson came to town.  Bengals won in 2011 34-12.  Panthers haven't beat the Seahawks since 2007, and historically the Seahawks have straight up owned the Panthers.  The Panthers have a lot of loses to avenge.

 

vs. Eagles - Eagles play at home vs. the Giants on Monday night, then come to Carolina on a short week to play a Sunday night game against the Panthers.  Those two teams tend to beat up on each other so Carolina could be catching a wounded Eagles team on the road.  Another revenge game after the trashing laid down at the hands of Mark Sanchez on Monday night. 

 

vs. Colts - The Colts always have a cupcake schedule playing in the AFC South.  They have a home game against the Saints a week before they come to Carolina on Monday night.  The only playoff team from 2014 they play before coming to Carolina is the Patriots two weeks before, and they get them at home.  The Colts should be fresh and have an inflated win total before this game, 

 

vs. Packers - Panthers catch a break and catch the Packers on consecutive road trips.  The Packers are @ Denver the week before heading to Carolina.  Another revenge game opportunity against a team that thrashed the Panthers last year.  

 

All in all I don't think this stretch is as difficult as the brutal stretch the Panthers had in 2014 which nearly sunk the team if it weren't for the awful play of their division counterparts.

We'll also be facing a much different Eagles team.  Hell, they don't even know who their QB is, they've got like 17 of them.  I think 2-2 out of this stretch with loses to Seattle and GB is realistic, although I'm hoping for better.

We'll lose to the Jags & Bucs to start 2-2, everyone will freak the fug out & cover the forum in CAM SUCKS SHULA SUCKS FIRE RIVERA FIRE GETTLEMAN threads.

Then we'll win all 4 of those games & everyone will crown us SB champions.

Then we'll lose the next game & everyone will bring out the pitchforks again.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
