At the same time, their picks mean nothing. As for as flying under the radar, this team either has it or don't. I believe they do and we will all see come sunday. I can gurantee this, neither teams are worrying what experts think who will win. They both are going to come out swinging. They both have a lot to play for. I believe this will be an exciting game. it just feels good to have games this late in the season mean something again. Go Panthers!

trying to figure out why no one picking us is refreshing.

 

i personally hate that this team flies so far under the radar. i hate that this team has crapped the bed so much for so long that so many have very little faith that this team can be great and beat the best teams. i hate that we earned that.

 

i can't wait for us to win these next two games and the panthers have their coming out party that puts them smack dap on top of that radar. the panthers need to do something that puts the league on notice and  puts the spotlight directly on them. 

 

so you don't want that? only way this team is going to stay under the radar is to disappoint again and go back to their losing ways. 

 

if we keep winning, people are going to expect that to continue...and that's a good thing.

So how do you feel about the o-line we have going on Sunday versus that 9ers D? That is my main concern and why I feel we will probably lose. Have they said if Piggy or Chandler will be starting at RG?

I really don't understand why people think its a "slight" or "disrespect" that people don't pick us to beat San Fran.  If I was picking I would pick the 49ers all day.  We have to travel, they have had a week off, and they are getting back their best defender.  

 

We can absolutely win, 100%.  But if I had to choose what I THINK will happen, I'd take San Fran like 23-13.  I don't think that's disrespectful, I just think we're playing a tough team on the road in the NFL.

I believe that if our beat up oline can do what needs to be done and can at least run block with authority and pass block enough to allow short slants and screens then we can possibly take a couple of shots downfield and open the game up.I would be lying if I said thst Nate.Chandler doesnt have me worried,I know he is athletic and may turn into a decent lineman,but this isn't the game to start a raw player.We have no choice,so We go with what we have.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
