True, he could implode. They just seem like a very complete team. They already dog walked the 49ers and I'd trust Lamar (or any of the AFC QBs left) over Purdy. I thought Purdy was pretty bad today and the 49ers always seem to get their QB exposed (or hurt) in the NFCCG or SB recently. 

They're gonna have to implode because damn, they look DOMINANT in the trenches and if you can control the LOS on both sides of the ball you're HARD to beat. That's what separates the blue blood teams in college. They rarely ever lose in the regular season because they dominate the LOS every week.

Why do y'all care who wins these games? Just let it go and just watch for the love of the game. Trust me, it makes for a lot more entertainment and a lot less stress. This season has made me remember the joys of just being a general NFL fan. Yeah, you don't get the super high highs of being a fan of a team doing well but we're Panthers fans here. Do we actually have any realistic hope of that in the near future? Just watch for the entertaining the game and let the results go. 

I don't really care that much but it makes it more entertaining when you have a team to root for. I usually root for whichever team hasn't won a super bowl before or the team that has connections to the Panthers.

So of the remaining teams, I'm pulling for the Bills, Lion, or 49ers. 

Seeing the Chiefs win again would be boring that may be the only outcome Id not like. 

If the Cheifs win again they're basically the new Patriots

That being said, I think they over achieved for it being Jordan Love's first season starting. If they had actually won this game (easily could have imo if their kicker doesnt miss that field goal and they get a field goal on that last drive to win) and gotten the NFC CG, that wouldve have been bonkers for such a young team and a QB starting his first year. 

 

Yeah, I can see that. But ending on that note is rough. Seeing your QB go out with such a brutal decision is rough.

What if the Bucs and Ravens win though?

Looking to tomorrow...this is IT for the Bills, right? If I'm a part of that org I'm thinking we HAVE to win this game or it's curtains for us with the current regime. They looked dead and buried halfway through the season and resurrected themselves, which is great, but this is like the entire franchise is on the line tomorrow. In my mind, at least..

Id feel kind of indifferent I guess. I don't have any real connection to either team other than the Bucs being in our division. 

But the Bucs have already won 2 super bowls. Them winning another one would be surprising but I wouldn't personally be mad. Baker was incredibly bad when he was playing in a Panthers uniform. Whether you want to blame him or the coaches/gm or what have you, thats up to debate I guess.

I'm cheering hard for the Bills and the Lions.  I almost got as hyped to see that Josh Allen long TD run as I did when I saw Cam do something similar to the Buccaneers in his rookie season I think.

After watching the Ravens on TV and the 49ers in person tlday, the 49ers better hope like hell the Ravens forget how to play because otherwise the Ravens beat them by 30 

The 49ers still have to get past either the Lions or the Bucs.

The Ravens still have to get past either the Bills or the Chiefs.

The Super Bowl matchup is far from set.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
