2016 Opponents Set


Montsta

A week before the season started, just about every team we were scheduled to play this season was licking their chops at the chance to beat us and look how that turned out for them.  Trying to figure anything out right now is a waste of time.

And once again we play Seattle in Seattle. What the fug is the deal with that

Yeah 3 years ago they had to play here so now it reverses.   We just keep winning the division and so do they in between these 3 years.

The funny thing of note is that we play all 3 teams interested in moving to LA. I was in LA last week. I can count the nfl items I saw on one hand.  I've had more conversations about the panthers in one day in calgary today than I did the whole time I was in LA.  Pity the fanbase that moves there... but I wouldn't mind a roadtrip if we play them.

I think I'll go to the Denver game

Great stadium. Just do not sit in the high rows unless your in decent shape.   It really is a bit taxing walking up and down in thin air and will curb your beer intake.   If our current trend of drops continues into next year though.... you'll have nightmares of hearing IN COM PLEEEEETTE.

From Peter King's MMQB column regarding next year's Christmas schedule. Make your travel plans accordingly:

for those who have wondered what the NFL will do with Christmas landing on a Sunday next year, and it being the Sunday of Week 16, I’ll use history as my guide. The last three times Christmas has fallen on a Sunday—in 1994, 2005 and 2011—the NFL played 14, 13 and 13 games on Saturday that weekend. (In 2005, there were two on Sunday and one on Monday. In 2011, there was one on Sunday night and one on Monday.) And I’m told in all likelihood the NFL will keep the same plan for 2016, playing most of that weekend’s games on Christmas Eve, a Saturday.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
