Whoever poses the biggest and most consistent threat.  That team will draw the most ire from our current fans.

Yeah, because I HATED S. Payton and Brees, but now the Saints are a non factor.

Nationally, there was a time when Seattle might have been the answer to that question.  We just have never been consistently good--no 2 consecutive seasons with winning records (I think).  We are too busy trashing our QB and coaches to worry about the other sideline.  I think that just changed.

Living in Atlanta, it’s the falcons for me. I look forward to that game, here in ATL, every year. The trash talking, being in that stadium with my panthers jersey on…it’s a high like no other. Only problem is we have been trash for awhile now. We still lost more against them than we won while Cam was in his prime, but it was still fun. 
 

I’ll be at the season opener since it’s down here. Can’t wait, and with Bryce, I’ve got a reason to be hopeful and talk a little trash. Been a long time.

we lost our team character and personality during the rhule years. we lost our identity. 

you need to have that to have a rivalry going. so we don't really have one right now. i think we'll get one, but the NFCS has been so bad for so long i think none of us have really any bravado or reason for it.

I was just think about this yesterday. Rhule was like the girl we all dated and asked ourselves WHY afterwards ???? We lost our swag our identity our moxy our desire to like football 🤣
 

Dumbest head coach hire in Panther history.

I think ATL has to be our natural rival and there's been many games that have drawn bad blood.

Closest to us, I-85 rivalry.....ATL vs. CLT as a big metropolitan southern city.

The Mike Vick years of beating us....Smitty/Brandon/Cam fights....Cam's huuuuge run at the Bank.

I do think most fans "hate" the Saints for more reasons, but my vote is the Falcons. Their 28-3 game quickly wiped away our HORRIBLE SB50 public embarassment too.

Our first regular season game ever,, Addlanna falcons..  Sept 3, 1995, Georgia Dome, we shocked the NFL with a 20-23 loss in over time.  We took over their stadium that day. It was wild and crazy. Addlanna is our rival. 

I was going to say the Taints, but you convinced me! Fug the Falcons!!!

    • I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
