Here’s an appetizer to get you started for your Saturday. Still reviewing the entire tape from GB/LA. The Packers have seven wins, but they have shown certain tendencies offensively—even before this game.

We told you before the 49ers game: gaining an early lead enables Carolina’a defense to dictate the game with their preference of personnel sets and calls. This is particularly true against teams lacking a commitment to the run. The Packers fit that profile.

We will feed you a more thorough look throughout the day, but here are a couple of points to get you started:

The defense is definitely how this game is won. Rodgers will get his points so the Panthers still need to score, but the defense absolutely cannot come out and play like they did vs. the 49ers or Rodgers will eat them alive no matter how well the offense does.

Those two offenses couldn't be much different though.

Sorry for the delay on some of the content here. We just laid mom to rest. It was a great service in Matthews, just outside of Charlotte. Got to see a bunch of family, and of course a ton of Panthers fans. We were heartbroken to lose her so young, but our family unit is so damn strong, we turned it into a celebration of her life instead a session of self- loathing. I like how my family handles grief: Laughs and love.

I don’t know about you guys, but when grief strikes, it helps me to jump back into the work. I’ve got some 11th hour pregame stuff that’ll be rolling out shortly. And the 4PM kickoff means a buffet of pregame goodies over at @onepantherplace. Please do stop by and check in. We will have the assembly line of content at full go. 

A lot of you guys had a lot of nice things to say to me both publicly and privately about the loss of my mom. Thank you all. It didn’t go unnoticed, and will never be forgotten. Personally, I want to see Mario and Shaq get that W. Those two fellas deserve it as much as anybody.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
