So who's it going to be then?  Us or the Chiefs are really the only other options.  Many would go berserk but the competitor in me would love it.  I think we could set a huge tone.  At worst, we're 0-1 with our toughest game in the rear-view mirror.

Yeah. I'm all for it actually. Most teams lose in foxboro. But if we were able to go in there and knock off the champs and then get ten days to rest up for our home opener. Would be a really big deal. 

Like you said, at worst we are 0-1 and it's an out of conf loss.

Yeah I guess the NFL want the falcons to start the season off right and not like the Panthers.

The link you posted is just someone's opinion.  Doesn't really mean much.  

Fwiw, I think the NFL would love to have it as the opening game, if they can swing it.  Guaranteed ratings winner.

Yeah I know its someone opinion just like most of the offseason post. Just is interesting if its true. Some say the NFL hates the Panthers. Wouldn't surprise me if we play the patriots in the opener.

I don't know how excited I am with that prospect.

If we do open up with them, we'll be the first to try and handle the Patriots new plays and goodies. Just remember how much our defense was gashed against the  Broncos in the season opener.

I mean film does so much for a defense; especially for Kuechly. Seems we always start slow, so rather not play them until later.

Plus they gave the blueprint in the preseason on how to expose our defense last season. I don't want to face them in the season opener.

True, but I also didn't foresee us letting JNo go and not using his $$$ for anything in 2016.  If GANOMUSTGO doesn't shank the game winner who knows how 2016 goes. He will (better) be gone, and this offseason will be different, so bring it on!!!

NFL cares about one thing, and one thing only.   That being ratings.  My guess is it will be the Cowboys and somebody.  Atlanta, Seattle, or the raiders mostly likely.

And why in the flying fug would we be in the opener? We had a shitty ass season last year and were irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. In the minds of all other nfl fans and normal people otherwise, we are scrubs again. How does that drive tv ratings?

Cam is the 7th highest paid athlete in the world.  We're a draw mate.  http://www.forbes.com/athletes/#20275ce86e34

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
