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?

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
