Anyone else got a bad feeling about this Eagles game?

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.

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.

      Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.

      Pressure or no pressure Bryce Young does not have the arm talent to consistently threaten defenses and open up the whole field. We have seen this throughout his 32 career starts. The Jaguars defense in week 1 only blitzed on 20% of Bryce Young's dropbacks and they still imposed their will and forced 3 turnovers from Bryce Young. I can present you information but if you choose to ignore it and what you are seeing with your own two eyes you are beyond help.
