Biggest / Most important game this season?

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.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
