well…dallas is a 5pt favorite in this one, so we’re on track again.

Thats the most absurd part of this whole thing.  How can you objectively look at these 2 teams and think that Dallas is 5 points better than us?!?!  Its madness.

Im getting 2013 vs niners and 2015 vs Seahawks vibes about this game sunday.

Yep, big games on a national stage, where we are the underdogs.  I think the results will be the same as well.  We come out on top and show the world that we are for real this year.

They said we're going to have to play very well in order to beat Dallas. You said flat out that we're going to lose. See the difference?

Yeah, but don't forget he was "being honest."

There should be no shame in being honest, and at the same time, dead wrong.

i really objectively don't blame them for being skeptical about how good we are. i think half our fanbase is still holding its breath waiting to see what happens when we face a serious challenger.

I don't blame them for being skeptical about us, but I blame them for NOT being skeptical about the Cowboys. Lol! They believe if they lose to us it's the Cowboys doing what they always do. (losing to an inferior team when they get on a roll) Rich Eisen basically said that if they lose to us they suck and the hype was never real.....

We have never trailed for a moment in this season so far. I am interested in seeing how Darnold plays from behind. Will he stay calm like he did versus the Texans and Saints in our last scoring drives, or will he revert to the guy who threw a "just gonna sit here and stare at the TV WHAT THE HECK did he just do" interception that he threw against the Saints?

As far as worrying about a serious challenger, I'm just holding my breath EVERY SNAP to see if our offensive line can play average/just adequately against any team.

we are also a very good team, and they will have to play well to win. our strength is a little better than their strength. our weakness is a little better than their weakness. i think we have a slight edge, and it will come down to who has a better game plan and who executes better.

I agree, and am shocked that we're even saying that in 2021, in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year hopefully a little better than last season. We should be happy we're even having this debate. Good time to be a Panther's fan.

I mean, we just lost CMC...and we boast a horrible OL that can't open lanes for a standard RB nor likely has the ability to allow Sam much time to throw. 

Dallas should be favored.  Basically equates to them being a 2 pt favorite on a neutral field.  That seems fair enough.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
