An extra intra-conference match up.  We would play the Texans this year.  Then the schedule rotates divisions.  I think the team is determined by the same place finish.  The Texans and Panthers finished 3rd in their respective divisions.

FYI, this sets up perfectly for an 18 game season down the road.  It would be one more intra-conference team being from the only division not on the schedule, just finished playing or scheduled to play the following season.  So If that were the case, the Panthers 18th opponent would be the same place finishing team from the AFC North.  We just played the AFC West, our 17th game is versus the AFC South and are playing the AFC East this year.

In case you were wondering, that 18th team would have been Cleveland.  We will enjoy our one extra game for now. 😄

I don't like it, but that's because I've got a boomer mentality when it comes to number of games and how it impacts records, etc.  To me 16 has always seemed perfect.  I do wonder if this will make it slightly easier to get a ticket to a game in a season with 9 homes games vs 8.  And with an added game, it gives Teddy an outside of chance of getting to 16 TD passes in a season.

On the other hand I love the new playoff format adding a team and only giving 1 team a bye week.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
