Which home game this year is a must see

Trying to talk my son-In-law into driving to Charlotte this season to watch a game. He’s a die-hard Pats fan, born in R.I. so if the Pats were playing us it would definitely be that game.

 Are there any teams on the schedule besides the usual division rivals that fans get more excited for? This would be my first game in Charlotte so I want it to be special.

Tampa Bay in London.  I will be there.   It would be a serious disappointment to lose. Yeah I know it is a home game technically for Tampa and an away game for us but since I am traveling to see London and going thousands of miles to the game, it the most important game short of the NFCCG which will be held in BOA in the playoffs if everything goes according to plan.

You said aside from division rivals so it's gotta be the Rams.  Everyone, players and fans, will be chompin' at the bit for the 1st game and against the NFC champs no less.  An argument could be made for the Seahawks but it will be so late in the season who knows if either of the teams will be in the hunt for the playoffs.  Better go see the Rams.

Rams in the home opener, Falcons, Seahawks or the Saints in the home closer.   If things go well, the last home game in December versus the Saints would be the one I would rate highest.  I plan on being at that myself!  Falcons for obvious reasons and we play the Seahawks so often that they are a rival even though the are obviously in another division.

First 2 home games are both huge... if we can defeat the reigning NFC Champs in Week 1 and follow it up on a short week (at home) against TB (Gerald McCoy revenge Bowl) with 2 wins, we will be 2-0 with a mini bye.

If we can start 2-0, my expectations for the season will be sky-high.

Rams followed by titans.

Rams because not just first game of the year, but game against the best in the conference last year. I don't think they will be the threat they were, but still a threat and it will be a good litmus test for where they are rolling into the season.

Titans because first home game after the bye and getting ready to roll into a brutal part of the schedule. This is a game that EVERYTHING should be clicking and all kinks should be worked out. If we have trouble vs. the Titans here, we'll have a lot more trouble down the road. Again, a good litmus test for where the team is.

I remember the game where some rams DB was talking smack to Smitty all game...then Steve worked him on the goal line for a TD...one of my fav Smitty games

we were talking about this last week.  Skip ahead to 7:38, watch the master clowning Janoris Jenkins.

Any of the division rivals other than Tampa are always big games and Seattle has turned into a decent rival.  Any NFL game is fun, but if I had a choice I'd pick one of the games I just mentioned.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
