I expect it to be a hard fought game. I think our OL will struggle a lot with their pass rushers. CMC will keep them honest by gashing them a few times. 

I suspect they will try and run the ball down our throats and have a lot of success with that. 

I think we win the TO battle and that is the difference. Panthers in a close victory.

Concerned about DL/OL and CMC's health.

I have no idea what to expect from this team this year. I know they could be good but I also know I don't trust Rhule's game management and I have very little confidence in this team not choking.

I think they should win this, but they could just as easily be embarrassed. I do think the game will be close, much closer than it should, and my fear is Rhule gets out coached by a bad coach who is likely one foot out the door himself ...again.

I will be watching and pulling for them, but my confidence level is 0.

i don't think our run D is going to be as bad as people think. our ends may have actually improved against the run as a unit.

with any luck we jump out to a nice lead early and force the browns to try to air it out and take away their only real strong point.

Yeah, I expect our run D to be better but for our pass rush to take a step back.

Brissett is a smart QB who typically doesn’t make many mistakes. We will need to have Tremble/Ricci help Icky with Garrett and he will still probably get a couple sacks. If we don’t turn the ball over and Baker gets in sync we win this game. I think Brown steps up and our new LBs help this run defense against a strong running offense. 
I’m concerned if it’s close that Rhule will do something dumb like punt it will a little time left to trust our defense to get a 3 and out.

Not sure that will be true or not, depends on how they use the personnel. We thought putting Fox out on the edge last year would result in better run support last year and that still didn't materialize. 

I think the general scheme we run is basically pretty weak against the run. Our front personnel are also pretty weak overall against the run so that probably amplifies that.

It will be interesting to finally see what the position group performances are.

Hopefully MacCadoo and Snow will say..." No Matt, we're not going to do stupid 💩. Just stand there, talk in your headset and sip Gatorade.. we'll take it from here"...

Watching the Bills put up a 10 minute drive running, dinking and dunking on us didn't exactly convince me we've improved anything in that category. It was against our rotational D-line guys but pretty much all of our starting LB's and secondary were out there the whole drive

Wait did that drive yield points?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
