Some pretty interesting and good matchups for the first Monday Night series of the year. Saints have changed a good bit and we play them in a couple weeks, and also play the Vikings later in the year. Also Ginn and AJ Klein are on the Saints while I believe Remmers is starting for the Vikings, and this is the premier of a bunch of high profile rookies (Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk) (second game : Demarcus Walker, Carlos Henderson /Mike Williams, Jake Butt wont make their debut until probably the 2nd half of the season) . Obviously pulling for the Vikings to put the Saints as the only team with a loss in the division, and thus in last place..

2nd game is a bit less interesting since I don't care too much about either team and we aren't playing either of them unless we meet either of them in the Super Bowl . Also a very late game I doubt a bunch of people on the east coast will be watching. Although I will be watching it because I always have monday tuesday wednesdays off from work and have nothing better to do . The Broncos are heavily favored and the chargers were ass last year, Rivers went to NC State once upon a time and I obviously dont like Denver so Ill be cheering for the Chargers to pull the upset.

The Saints beating the Vikings would be a bigger upset than the Chargers beating the Broncos.  The Chargers can get after the QB.  Overall wouldn't bet either way though.  Might as well have dubbed these the snooze bowls between teams going nowhere, all likely to pick between 10-20 in next year's draft.

Gonna be a tough game. Vikings defense is legit. Interested to see how Ramczyk holds up at LT. The offense really struggled to move the ball in the preseason, albeit Drew only played one series and they drove down the field for a FG. The RB battle will be a good one to watch, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Payton feature Peterson tonight. 

The Vikings offense struggled to move the ball last year and should be a good learning game for the new players on defense. I expect Cam to give Remmers a problem all night, but I'll be watching the rest of the line to see if they can give him some help. Rankins has been pretty stout this preseason. Hoping it translates over. Finally some speed and athletiscm in the linebacking corp. Really have enjoyed watching Klein so far. He's not Kuechly, but playing with him sure has helped. Then I pray for no injuries in the back end this year.

Unfortunately, I think the awful offensive line of the Vikings might skew how the Saints defense will look. I'm thinking next week we will see a more true version of the Saints. But who knows? I'll be watching regardless.

The Seahawks have by far the worst OL in football (on display yesterday)-but yes, the Vikings deserve Honorable Mention.

I like the Vikings stadium a lot more than that s*** they have in ATL

Yep, but the Metrodome roof collapsed and the threat of relocation to LA was real.  Still a political quagmire in Minny.  

I say with no relocation threat and multiple cities with far more disastrous stadiums/demographics than CLT, that BOA will remain home of the Panthers for a long time regardless of owner.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
