Anyone else got a bad feeling about this Eagles game?

Yes, this is exactly what I mean. The Panthers beat two teams with a rookie QB and Jameis Winston who I wouldn’t consider a quality QB. The Cowboys beat the hell out of this defense with their run game, laying a blueprint for other teams. The only reason that Cowboys game didn’t appear to be a blowout is because Trevon Diggs left the game in the 4th quarter and Darnold threw the ball at whoever was covering guys in his spot, allowing the Panthers to claw back.

Bottom line is, this Panthers team is really banged up and not as good as the roster that hit the field Week 1. The Eagles are going to be a tough out for an undermanned Panthers team.

I’ve heard this “…they laid out the blueprint…” a bit. Who else has the combination of Dallas O-line, RBs etc?

Also, do you really think we will make no adjustments at all moving forward?

We’ve only played 4 games, a lot will change and if we meet Dallas again in the playoffs we will be ready.

I guess LA Rams is done for the year, everyone can just use the Cardinals blueprint, the Packers season is over, just use the Saints blueprint…

I don't understand the thought that because the offensive line is bad, it means by default the backups are better. Is it possible? Yes, but who knows to what degree even if so. We legit might just have no solid offensive line options. The Norwell type situations aren't all that common, imo.

Personally my thinking is more in the vein of:

the backups can't be worse than this so nothing to lose by playing them. On the other hand they are rookies, so the upside is speeding their development, and perhaps better play. Either way is their really a downside to playing them at this point? Can you say with a straight face that they are likely to be worse than what we've seen?

I'm not sure it's possible.  If anything it's a push.

I think they will be able to run on us. 

and I have never forgotten Fletcher Cox almost single handedly beating us after being a last minute activation that was hurt all week. 

I think we win.  I don’t think we will feel great after it.  But that’s also just how football is. 

Cox is an absolute beast.  He alone is a lot to be worried about. 

To answer the OP, no, I don't have a bad feeling,  because this is a winnable game being played at home.

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.

Your header suxs!! Panthers should not lose this game!!

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
