just in case you want to read something...

look at smitty vs. asante, panther LBs vs. eagle RBs, panther secondary vs. eagle receivers, eagles dline vs. panthers oline.

should have looked more at panther dline vs eagles oline. DTs might not look so bad this week mainly because of how shoddy the eagle line is. DEs could look good.

Good write up buddy, although I have a few comments. The first being that I think the secondary got exposed in the preseason which was a good thing. I think they should get things squared away back there and be a little better come Sunday. As you pointed out a good pass rush will help the secondary and I think we should be able to apply some pressure (if we don't it will be a huge disappointment given the current state of the Eagles oline). Problem is we have to come up and make the tackle on the underneath stuff, if Jackson is affored the opportunity to get the ball in space it could be a long afternoon.

The other thing I was going to mention was that I think our defensive line will play a huge part in this game. More so than our oline against their dline. Peppers needs to be absolutely disruptive against Peters (didn't look good this preseason) and Winston respectively. I also think Everette Brown and Charles Johnson will be big factors and look for Leonard to get in there and create a little push as well. If we can't get pressure on McNabb then this game will be over quickly.

I don't expect Smith to have a big game by his standards as I think they will not force the ball to him with Samuels covering, maybe a smoke route or that deep cross that he and Jake love so much. I do however, expect a couple of big catches by -gulp- Kenny Moore. I know, I know it remains to be seen if he'll even be active but I really think Jake feels comfortable with him and his special team ability will get him a jersey. I also look for the Panthers to take advantage of the weak middle with the tightends...all of them.

I agree its a tough one to call but I have to go with my gut on this one, something just doesn't feel right. Eagles win 23-17.

Not his typical side of the line but I'm sure he'll make his way over there plenty in the opening drives of the game and if it works for him he may line up there all day.

This game was not a good way to start the season and unless something gets fixed in a hurry it's going to be a long season.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
