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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
