Based on the Jaguars being as bad as they've usually been, there can only be one reason why five ESPN analysts expect them to beat the Panthers. These guys are haters.

NO ONE should ever pick the Jaguars to win their first game of the season. Why would you? Well, when you're playing the Panthers, a team that, because of it's QB, is one ESPN will never expect to take care of its business, that's an opportunity to assume the Jaguars will surprise.

So again, as bad as Jacksonville is year after year, you should just pick them to lose until they win, and all of them would've if they weren't playing the Panthers.

HATERS.

Its going to be a tough game for both teams so i understand why some of these morons like Jaworski are picking the Jags.  But i also know that to a man, every idiot pictured in that chart has not seen more than 10 plays of Panthers football this preseason.  So I attribute their picks to flat ignorance.

When you are picking between two teams that you don't respect, you take the home team almost by default.  I don't think these guys hate the Panthers, they just don't think we're as good as we think we are.

Good point.  I'm not surprised by the lack of confidence towards our team right now.  If I were not a Panthers fan and just going by what I heard in the media re: KB being out for the season and Philly's drops etc., I'd probably vote for the home team too.

Hopefully we'll earn respect as the season goes on as we prove our competence by our wins. 

Sure some DO seem to really love to rag on the Panthers (some of the really nasty comments about JR and our organization of late show that.)  But I think there are a lot of others who respect Ron & G'man and want to see our team do well.  No we're not the flashy media darlings, but I think there are many more analysts & fans than we realize who want to see us succeed because we've got some guys they know make the NFL a better sport and whom people can really respect.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
