Anyone else got a bad feeling about this Eagles game?

[hepcat]

I can’t shake this bad feeling the Panthers are going to lose to the Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles haven’t exactly had an easy schedule except from playing the listless Falcons (which they won handily). The Eagles seem ready to put together a solid game again. 

Our GM is already talking about this team “planning on making the playoffs”, yet this team has accomplished literally nothing so far. It’s a bit early for any of that playoff talk in my honest opinion. I get the confident mentality, but it’s Week 5…

I worry the Panthers run defense got exposed against the Cowboys. The defense is pretty banged up. With Horn and Burris on IR, and Shaq Thompson out, the Eagles can exploit the Panthers odd fronts like the Cowboys did. I see the Eagles getting their running game on track in this game. 

On offense the offensive line is decimated by injury and general lack of talent and skill. The Eagles still have Fletcher Cox and a lot of pass rushing talent. Darnold will be running for his life yet again.

The advantages are the Panthers are at home, and Jalen Hurts is a young QB who will make a few bad throws. I expect the Eagles offense to turn the ball over. Can the Panthers capitalize and protect the football themselves?

We will see, and I really hope my concerns are for nothing. Maybe the Eagles are way worse than I think they are. But I’ve got a bad feeling about this game given the injuries and complete decimation of the defense in the last game.

I feel pretty good about it. Eagles whole O-line is down so our D should feast.

I’m worried about Hargreaves vs. our o-line, but we should win fairly comfortably. I expect a big bounce back game even with our injuries.

As a Panthers fan, you should have a bad feeling going into every game lol. But regarding the playoff thing, a GM has to prepare for the playoffs, even if they don't think it's likely. Otherwise we'd be caught with our pants around our ankles if we actually got there. Planning for and expecting are two different things entirely.

They have a decent OL even with Lane out.  Have always had a good interior D since they drafted Cox.

But, their offense is highly suspect.  Hurts is hot/cold, their WRs and RBs are all over the map.  

On defense, I'm honestly unsure but looking online, they're middle of the pack on the passing D side and the worst run defense in the league.  

I'd like to think this is a big game from our running attack with CMC or not, and I'd like to see Marshall and Robby get more looks against a pretty meh secondary unit.

The horror of team aiming to make the playoffs.

Yes.  I don't have a good feeling about this game at all.  Worse yet,  I have cut my alcohol consumption down to bare minimum.

Injuries on our OL outside of Moton could potentially result in addition by subtraction based on what I've seen from them this season.

No not really. I actually think we'll bounce back from last week very well and win pretty convincingly.

I worry about Fletcher Cox. I'm not sure our entire online could block him alone.

I think Fit said playoffs in regard to our schedule…but will find very quickly, they won’t belong there.

I’m not worried about the Eagles or any game really. This is a rebuilding year, enjoy it for what it is.

4-1 incoming!!

No, not at all really. Doesn't mean we couldn't lose the game though.

Also, you said the team has "literally accomplished nothing." What the fug does that even mean? They've won 3 games out of 4. What other accomplishments are looking for at this point? Jesus
