I'm probably in the minority that I'd love it (as long as Gano is canned), but it is what it is.

I'd rather not have to play NE in week 1

Gotta do it some time, can get it over with, and avoid a potentially brutally cold game.  And also shock the world.

Gee, so not only do the Panthers get to play the defending Superbowl champs last year, they get to have another go at it TWO seasons in a row.

Someone better blowtorch the NFL shield off at BoA Stadium right now.

Better to play them before they are a full well oiled machine at the end of the season tbh

It'll be us.. Then Rivera can complain about the scheduling for another year

The issue I have is how slow our defense always starts off. Our defense is so reliant on film it's crazy. 

Remember the Broncos opener and how the Broncos seemed to run and pass all over us at will? I mean, our run defense would end up top 3 good later in the year, but still we let the Broncos have what seemed like an All-Pro O-line and runningback.

I don't want to open with a smart offense right off the bat.

I say to bring it.  Our d will be the  well oiled machine on the field.  New D coordinator, addition of Pep, Luke well rested.  experience under our young CBs belts, Coleman back at his natural position will give us a quick start

I would be pissed TBH. When was the last time we opened at home?

I think it was the Seahawks game that Deangelo fumbled away

[uncfan888]

The big question is why have we only opened at home twice in 8 years

I mean.. BofA at 1 on an early Sunday in September is hotter than hell, but it seems like every team should open at home 50% of the time

Edit: I didn't mind opening in Jacksonville though.. That was great

Hey NFL, your agenda is showing.
