Twenty talking heads were asked to predict the NFC Championship with not much love for the Defending NFC Champs.

Only 3 out of 7 Picked Carolina to be in the Super Bowl.   Rank, Brandt and Bellichek.  Brandt came to Training camp so he has a least some first hand knowledge.

Packers (12) and Cardinals (11) were picked to be in over half of the games and both winning 6 six times.

Seahawks were picked to be in 8 and half predicted they would return to the Super Bowl in 2017.

Cowboys were picked to make it and Beat Carolina.

Vikings were picked in one game but to lose.

I guess the bright side of it we were in roughly a 1/3 of the games. (7 of 20)

At the end of the day if the Panthers can take care of business when they need to we will be alright. The key is defending our home turf, beating the class in our conference, and taking care of the division. If we can do this and go at least 13-3 or 12-4 we will be alright. The key is to make back to the playoffs.

Typical writing.  I am certain if we lose a few games this year.  They'll be Carolina was lucky last year...had weak schedule.... one hit wonder....blah, blah, blah.

I don't care what any of them say.  Carolina is the most complete team in the league.   No team is perfect and we could use a little depth here and there but as far as a starting line up goes.  I think head to head we have the most complete team.

We'll be in the playoff and WE ARE GOING TO BREAK THAT SB CURSE and make it back to the Super Bowl and this time we are going to win it.

This.

10-11 wins should get us into the playoffs, and 12-13 should get us home field advantage.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
