Vegas has us winning by three or more. Are we just that good or is Buffallo that bad or a mixture of the two. Its kind of suprising seeing as how both us and the Bills lost a tough home opener to SB contenders and both the Bills and Panthers played them tough until the very end, yet Vegas has us as favorites.

Interesting. I would have expected something like Bills -1.5. This means that the sharps in Vegas think we are clearly a better team than Buffalo (we'd be favored by 9 at home according to this line).

 

We'd be favored by 6 at home but either way that's a big spread.  It will be interesting to see how the line moves this week.  The implication to me is that we're expected to make life a lot harder for Manuel than NE did.

Yeah you're right. For some reason I was double counting the HFA points. But yeah, still a lot, basically we'd be TD faves at home.

 

edit: Actually no, I think I'm right. If you think about the "walk back", HFA is worth 3 points. Panthers are favored by 3 at Bills, which means we would be favored by 6 on a neutral field, and 9 at home. Unless Vegas doesn't take into account "neutral" fields (since that's more of a college thing).

I've really had my fill of playing teams with elusive QBs who can avoid our pass rush, and we've only played one so far, and he played out of his fuging mind incredible. Makes me ill. Can't wait to play a team with a QB who can't dodge, fake out, run the wind and fire a pinpoint rocket pass 20 yards in stride. Give us that big dumb Matt statue Ryan to murder.

If we lose wonder what the Vegas odds will be on when Rivera, Shula or both get their walking papers?   I think the Panthers win something like 20-13.   The only two things I worry about in making this prediction is Shula's total ineptitude (like watching Pop Warner play calling) and Buffalo needing it as badly as the Panthers do.  

 

 

 

I take back that Pop Warner comment.  I've seen 9-10 year olds throw deeper than Cam did under Shula's play calling.

Your 24 hours are up. It is fine to talk about Buffalo but quit the bitching on Shula. First of all you are wrong about Shula who called a great game and our gameolan will be very different against Buffalo making your comments totally irrelevant.

      I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      I think the Njoku interest revealed intent and the type of TE they want.  I really expected more from Sanders.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Defensive tackle (or end in a 3-4 base) is suddenly a rather significant need.  It seems to be a forbidden topic on the Huddle.  Well I am going to unforbidden it for this thread. When we lost Robinson, it was a salary cap cutting move, saving us about $9m or so, I think.  That suggests that we are going to get cheaper, younger, and maybe, more multi-dimensional.  First, what did we lose in Robinson: (Charlotte Observer)  "Robinson co-led the team in sacks (5.5) in 2024, and he ranked second among Carolina linemen, behind Brown, in sacks (2.5) in 2025. (Derrick) Brown played on 76.4% of the Panthers’ defensive snaps last year, while Robinson played on 62.2% of those reps. No other defensive lineman played more than 38.3%, as free-agent addition, Turk Wharton, dealt with injuries throughout his first season in Carolina. Wharton played in just nine games, producing 36 total tackles and two sacks. He’s guaranteed $14 million this upcoming season. Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article314544998.html#storylink=cpy OK, about Turk Wharton.  The Observer claims that he and Bobby Brown III were to rotate into the Robinson DE position, but that is too weird for my head to comprehend.  First, Brown III is a NT by trade and Wharton weighs about 280 lbs and is not stout vs. the run.  Brown III is not going to provide the internal pass pressure; he is basically designed to take on double teams and dig in.  Wharton, on the other hand, had a PFF score in those 9 games of 40 or so.  In fairness, he was playing with injuries, but Damn.  PFF gives me a higher rating at the Golden Corral buffet.  In other words, we need a true DT who can fill the two thirds of snaps that we just released.  We can't count on Turk and Brown III is not the answer.  Cam Jackson?  Same as Brown.  Have your people do what they do best.  Furthermore, Derrick Brown probably should limit his snaps.  Playing more than 3/4 of the snaps is hard on the body.  A tired player in the trenches is more prone to lower-body injuries. We need a player who can give Derrick Brown some relief and play opposite him as well.  Turk can rotate in but he needs to shoot gaps and give Guards and tackles fits--a change of pace.   I have to think we are going to draft DT much sooner than most Huddlers realize.  My favorite, you didn't ask? Probable second-rounder Gracen Halton (No. 59 overall, according to ESPN's March 2026 update). Once considered a Day 3 sleeper, his 2026 NFL draft stock has exploded into Round 2 or 3 due to elite interior pass-rush metrics.  Projected Round: 2 (Early to Mid) Key Traits: Elite explosive, quickness, 12.2%+ pass-rush win rate, and positional versatility to play inside on passing downs. Combine Highlights: Led defensive tackles in the vertical jump (36.5”) and broad jump, per Sports Illustrated. Draft Stock: Rising fast due to consistent 2025 production (7 tackles for loss) and a "freak show" combine performance, according to Stormin in Norman.  Halton is considered a high-motor playmaker and a potential Day 2 standout, notes   I would not be surprised to see DT on day 2.
