Last and most definitely least, Carolina has a ton of question marks along its offensive line. Long-time center Ryan Kalil has missed more than half of the last two seasons with neck injuries and his brother Matt was an unmitigated and expensive disaster at left tackle last year. Andrew Norwell left in free agency, leaving a gaping hole at left guard which might have to be filled by Amini Silatolu for the time being. Right tackle Daryl Williams had an All Pro season out of nowhere but he’s in the last year of his deal and reportedly far apart from the team on extension numbers. Their best lineman now is right guard Trai Turner, who is still not 100 percent recovered from a knee injury. The Panthers had better hope second-year stud Taylor Moton is ready to thrive in 2018, otherwise this unit’s struggles may become an unconquerable obstacle for new offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

Not sure I can complain about this one.   Our big investment here is the Kalil brothers and last year, I'm not sure the roi was there.   We made little change here for the coming year, apparently Norv feels it's adequate.

Offensive lines have a tendency to fluctuate with injuries and group cohesion. Right now we could be much worse than last year, or much better. There's no real way to tell until we line up against an opposing team in a real game.

Any speculation at this point is just that... speculation.

Just remember that we went 11-5 last year with that suspect line.

I can't wait until we get to the ranking of the coaches in the division.  Gonna be some awfully upset folks around here.

We have the only two time coach of the year in the division.  In the history of the award only Belichick, Knox, and Shula have more.

I don't necessarily disagree but what does Williams' contract situation have to do with this years offensive line?  Enough things to point out without talking about something that's irrelevant to this season.

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
