Eric Davis on NFL Network makes sense "Carolina will have a tougher road back to the Super Bowl, because the NFC is tougher than the AFC"

He is right but its hard to gauge the Vikings now that they've played QB roulette.

He didn't say the Vikings.  He was talking more about the Packers, Seahawks, and Cardinals.  He's got a point on all three.  They all have weaknesses though, Packers have a weakness on defense with their average defense.  Seahawks have a weakness on the Offensive line.  Cards have a weakness on the Offensive Line as well, and pass rush or lack thereof.

Don't know if I agree overall.  The last two Superbowl winners are AFC.  And the weakest division in the NFL is probably going to be the NFC east again.   

 

I do agree that the Panthers likely have a tougher road this year than they did last year, primarily because we are playing the NFC and AFC west.

He was talking more Playoffs.  He's got a point, we'll have to go through GB, Seattle, and Zona to get there.  Just because the AFC's best teams are the Pats (Brady is turning 40 soon, Father Time is calling)and Broncos.  Name another team in the AFC that's a Super Bowl contender?  Oh wait, nothing?  Fair enough.

I'll take Brady playing at 40 over Carson Palmer at 37.

Steelers are definitely a superbowl contender.  In fact, this year they might be the favorite.

They have a massive weakness.  Their defense, and we saw last year if injuries hit on the offensive side they're screwed.  Unlike us, where if an injury hits us at RB or WR.  We still have Cam.

Cardinals are done I think. They got to the championship game last year and we crushed them. Fitz and palmer are both a year older and Floyd, brown and David Johnson arent anything special.   Packers, Seahawks and Panthers are all better and I think they know it. 

 

So if we were in the afc it would be new England or pittsburgh.  Either way it's two teams that are on the Panthers level.

And yet Green Bay was named as a Superbowl Contender, and their defense wasn't much better than Pittsburgh's.  And unlike Green Bay, the Steelers have a running game.  With their offense, the Steelers only need a slight improvement on the defensive side to get past the Pats and Broncos. 

 

But this is a comparison of conferences.  And imo, the NFC east makes the NFC worst overall.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
