According to CBS's list of "The Must Watch Game for Every Week of the Season", Carolina didn't make the cut on any of them.

Thanks, CBS, for letting us know we can safely free up our weekend and just drink beer watching ice dancing on NBC.

That being said, at least other lists are being more generous to us:

    Week 10 - Carolina Panthers at Pittsburgh Steelers (Thursday, 8.20pm ET)
    Cam Newton v Ben Roethlisberger and an interconference game between 2017 playoff squads. When the teams faced off in 2014, Big Ben led the Steelers to a 37-19 victory and Cam Newton was forced to leave the game with an injury. Roethlisberger and Newton remain among the ranks of the NFL’s elite, and they should be shooting for the playoffs by this juncture. Both clubs boast physical defenses, and Julius Peppers is back for another run.

    WEEK 17 (DEC. 30): PANTHERS AT SAINTS
    It’s rare to see both wild-card spots filled by teams in the same division, but it happened last year when three NFC South teams went to the playoffs. As mentioned earlier, the Saints are rolling. The Falcons should again contend to be a double-digit wins team. And the Panthers, still not that far separated from a 17-2 season, should again be in the hunt if they can fill the numerous holes on both sides of the ball. Because the NFC South has been so competitive, I feel that’s going to continue into 2018. The Panthers and Saints face each other twice in the final three weeks, and the schedule-makers know that these smaller-market teams will deliver in December. This final tilt will likely decide who gets a home playoff game and who has to hit the road in the postseason.

Of course we know Cam Newton alone makes the Panthers must watch tv.  Personally speaking, and many might not call me the life of the party, I don't find this whole schedule release stuff all that exciting.  What's exciting to me, is seeing the Panthers kick tail.  I don't care who it is we're up against.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
