Game 1 is upon us. 

The rosters are set. It is go time. 

Las Vegas Raiders (0-0) at Carolina Panthers (0-0)

The Carolina Panthers will host the Las Vegas Raiders in what has to be the most mysterious opening game in Carolina Panthers history. Will they be good? Will they be bad? Will they be horrible? Who knows?

But what do you know about the Raiders? What are their season expectations? 

If you check out the Raider Forums you can see what is on the minds of Raider fans. This includes their projected depth chart.

I think it’ll be very tough to take anything away from this game as the Raiders are a big wildcard too. Either way hoping we start off the season on a good note with a big win and Teddy showing a full command of Brady’s offense. Any positives at all on the other side of the ball will be considered a bonus to me.
 

My prediction: extremely sloppy game with both teams scoring in the 30s, Panthers come out on top.

I know a great deal.

The game will take place on sunday sept 11 at 1pm EST. It will be played at Bank of America stadium. Each team will field a roster of 53 players who have been less thoroughly evaluated in the offseason than prior professional rosters. I know the stadium is open air and the field will be 100 yards long from endzone to endzone. 

I know the national anthem will be played before the game. Some players will kneel, others will not. People will get nearly as upset over this one way or the other as they did when someone stole their ice cream cone in kindergarten. They should probably focus their angst more on the final score, which will almost certainly involve one team scoring more points than the other.

Oh and the officials will wear striped uniforms that make them look like zebras. The only true consensus among fans will be that they are universally incompetent. In the case of Jerome Boger, we will all be right.

Beyond that I would be hard pressed to say.

Raiders -2.5 was the last line I saw.

Brandon Parker (reserve OT, #75) is a facebook friend of mine---they are feeling good, just do not know what to expect.  He is happy that he did not have to purchase 30-40 tickets.  He is a good guy--played at A&T, his father played at UNC and for the Steelers.  I coached with him when Brandon was our tee-boy--along with my son (ball boy).  Father a minister--great family.  Basically, however, he is not a trash talker and he would not say much regardless, but he did say that they have peeked at LSU and Baylor film---

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
