This guy is a moron. He said if we don't win Sunday then there is no way we could beat the Giants in the playoffs on the road. He proceeded to say without winning this game we cannot make it to the Super Bowl. Yes I want homefield. I want the Panthers to win but if we don't I don't think the season is lost by any means. This guy is paid as a football expert. How can you make uneducated comments such as this like they are facts?

he's got a point... with the injuries the Giants have right now and how they're playing on their heels and we're steamrolling. If we don't win, it'll be hard to concieve us beating them in Jan. Not that it couldn't happen. But I don't take that as a huge insult. I think the Grim Reaper actually knows his poo for the most part.... him and Jaws.

The next time Clayton catches a football will be the first. He knows nothing about the game itself and should probably be relegated to the role of team correspondent where he can follow the players around all week and get interesting soundbites to share with the sportscenter anchors. The problem is that he's not a hot woman, so he can't fill that spot. In fact, I'm not really sure why he's on ESPN.

Remember, we lost at Chicago, at Dallas and at home to Philly and then went on to beat all three of those teams during our past playoff runs. What happens Sunday is important, but if we lose it doesn't mean that chances for a title are gone.

I guess that these analysts make a living by hyping up every week of the NFL season like it's the last.

Yeah, we've never beaten a team in the playoffs after losing to them in the regular season.... except for Dallas in 03, Philly in 03, and Chicago in 05.

Owned.

I wonder if Clayton thinks the same is true: that if we were to beat New York, there would be no chance they could beat us at home in the playoffs and advance to the Super Bowl.

After all, they are the ones on a two-game losing skid.

Yeah I was totally yealling at the TV when I was watching that. ESPN reporters are such MASSIVE tools. Half of them probably don't even believe the crap they report. Just do it for THE MAN. So friggin retarded.

Can we just make a thread of "he said she said" posts? They are coming up every day, Jim Rome said this, John Clayton said this, Steve young said that.

WHO CARES?!

They don't have any say on what happens on the field, stop freaking out and taking these so personally.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
