This is ProFootballTalk's pick for our game:

In an effort to spook Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme into another six-turnover performance, the Eagles will be breaking out Cardinals uniforms in the locker room, Mean Machine-style.

Even if they were wearing leather helmets and wool jerseys, Philly would have the superior team.

Pick: Eagles 28, Panthers 16

I guess we have turned into the Lions in their eyes.

Apparently they are not taking into consideration the issues we have at MLB, the rookie starting safety, and the fact the we have an thrown together O-line that have never played together in a game and apparently will now be missing 2 starters with Shawn Andrews in shorts today during practice.

I think the Eagles will score but if the Eagles hold the Panthers to 16, it will because the Panthers didn't execute, not becuase we stopped them.

You've gotta be kidding. Would someone please start another disrespect thread? and dont stop until we have EVERY camera-man for ESPN's prediction. Hit up Fox to, id love to hear what Jillian Anderson has to. Her oppinion means alot to me

Its not the prediction that makes me angry, its the poo talking that goes along with it, like we are the f*cking Lions or Raiders.

I expect them to lose also. Doesn't mean I won't be watching and hoping.

Why? If the Eagles lose someone from the O-line or if Gaither goes down at MLB they will be pulling me from the stands to fill in. That is scary.

Don't be surprised if they sign 84 year old Jon Runyan back before the weekend and he is on the field Sunday....that is how bad it is right now. The Panthers are catching the Iggles at the perfect time.....of course the Panthers have a few issues of their own they are trying to work out also...

You know, if the last time I paid any real attention to the Panthers was in the last game they played, I would probably think they were headed for a crushing defeat too.

Until the team does something to erase the stench of the playoffs, then it deserves the derision that comes with it.

I am trying to figure out how they are so superior to us. I came up with the below list by trying to be as subjective as posible.

Quaterback - Advantage Eagles - McNabb is just plain better than Delhomme

Runningbacks - Advantage Panthers - Double Trouble is proven as the best combo, Westbrook is getting old and McCoy is unproven

Offensive Linemen - Advantage Panthers - We are returning the same line from last year and their line has not played a single game together including preseason

Wide Receivers - Advantage Panthers - Smith is the a top receiver and Moose almost had 1,000 yards last year, DeSean Jackson is good, Kevin Curtis is decent and Maclin is an unknown

Tight Ends - Push - King is reliable and Rosario and Barnidge have shown flashes, Celek made some big catches in the playoffs and Alex Smith stinks

Defensive Linemen - Advantage Eagles - We have Peppers but also major questions marks at DT, Eagles have a good rotation of almost 8 guys

Linebackers - Advatage Panthers - Beason and Davis are beasts, Jordan, Gaither and Gocong don't scare anyone

Cornerbacks - Advantage Eagles - Panthers have Gamble and Marshall and some unknowns, Eagles have Samuel, Brown and Hobbs

Safeties - Advantage Panthers - Harris can hit and Godfrey has gained experience, Mikell is solid but Macho Harris is a rookie

Kicker - Push - Both Akers and Kasay are reliable

Punter - Push - Baker and Rocca are about equal

Special Teams - Advantage Eagles - Panthers have questions marks when it comes to returners, Eagles have explosive Jackson, Demps and Maclin

From this list I only see that they are clearly better at QB, D-Line, CBs and Special Teams. But somehow they are clearly superior.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
