I'm gonna have to go with the Patriots game. As long as we have a decent record heading into that game most of the previous games are meaningless. The key here is that from the New England game onward we need to build as much momentum as possible heading into the playoffs and if we can win against a very good opponent late in the season it'll be a huge emotional boost.

I really want to show the world we mean business on monday night against the cowboys. But knowing how we always have the most important game late in the season, it will probably be week 17 against the saints to seal up a playoff spot.

For the first half of the season, the Cowboys in Prime Time, in their house. If we embarrass them, we'll show the nation who really is a force in the NFC. If we when, we'll show the Panthers are a serious team.

As for the rest of the season, it really depends on the situation and our record.

I also agree that we need to come out the gate and beat the Iggles.

1st 3 games....

the patriot game isnt a NFC game, if we lose it will suck, but not kill us.

We have to start fast and finish strong though....

It's not so much about an NFC or AFC game as to why some games are important, the NE game is right when I'd say every team needs to start building momentum for a playoff push. When you add onto that the fact that it's more than likely going to be our toughest test all year we'll need to prove we can win those sort of games.

at Atlanta in week 2. Huge Division game after a tough eagle game.

The first 4 games of the season will define this team, imo.

i can agree with this. it is possible to start off rough and build back up through the season. we could just win enough to get ahead of the division (who has it just as rough as we do). i would rather come out of the gate swinging and slaying, though. the first 4 games sets the tone.

i'm not crazy about that early bye week but honestly i would rather get that out of the way early. we generally don't do well coming out of it. hopefully jake's arm will be in better shape and doesn't get too stiff if he is told to rest it for that week. still, the bye is usually a momentum killer as far as the panthers are concerned. if they are going to lose momentum and have to build back up that would be a good time to do it. redskins, bucs, and bills are all soft enough to build back on.

it's hard to narrow it down to just one game, though.

i would say the 5 biggest games of the season are going to be:

eagles - big factor in setting the tone. people see the panthers as a sure loss but our tone must be set and our home must be reclaimed.

cowboys - big stage against a team that is considered to be the most hated among panther fans. we always seem to get the short end of the stick with them. we have been embarrassed enough by them, time to repay the favor in front of everyone.

giants - they don't seem to realize how close we came to beating them. we need to do what we should have done last time. we should have won.

cards - it won't be the same but still going back into their house and dominating them would sure make me feel better. we are 6-2 against them we need to remind them who their daddy is.

pats - i want to beat them badly. just to show that we can. mostly just about garnering respect. i would like to win against them but more importantly i would just like to be able to take it down to the wire without giving up. this will be the toughest game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
