Panthers schedule is out

[PleaseCutStewart]

Well, the good news is after 5 games, we will know whether we have a shot at the playoffs or can go ahead and pack it in. That's about as winnable of a 1st 5 games a team can get - anything worse than 3-2 should be worrisome.

Agree in theory. But this offense is VERY young with new players. 

Same with the defense. 

May take a couple of games for the rookies to figure out the speed of the game and both rookies and FAs to figure out what they're supposed to be doing.

Jacksonville is in the same boat with a lot of young players and Arizona is weirdly a team we own for some reason. Sucks opening with 2 on the road, but they are definitely 2 winnable games

I do agree. But it's worth noting we tended to think the same thing this time last year when we opened the season with back to back road games.

We better be getting all these guys reps in the preseason

important perspective to have. as easy as the schedule is, it could take 2-3 games for it to start clicking for the young and new ones.

If Canales can get them ready enough to win those first 2, we really might have something. It's hard to win in the NFL. Doesn't matter who is the opponent.

Excited for the season for a first time in awhile. Booked flights and hotel for week 2 in Arizona and debating heading to Green Bay as well.

My prediction is 9-8.  If we can split with the Bucs I think we win the division.

Thanks for posting. Brings back memories. 

Muscled up TE Brandon Williams, massive bust Stephen Hill, Edmund "never played a down" Kugbila

 and the terrific Kyle Love

I forgot all about Stephen Hill. Also wrs and oline are much better than in 2015 Cam and that defense were fuging special

Maybe, but the oline is a veteran group.  That will help a lot.  And there are some veteran skill players, mainly Chubb, Dowdle, and Thielen.  My guess is that we will lean on them while the younger guys learn the ropes.
