Some interesting tidbits from Tanier in the Pats @Panthers section. Yes, he picks us to win. Everyone in his Magnificent Seven has beaten weak competition and haven't really played each other yet and six of the seven are playing each other this weekend.

 

Of course it helps to create cupcakes when you are double-dipping the beatings of weak competition.

Panther - Saints share the same opponents. (minus two games)

Seahawks - 49ers (ditto)

Chiefs - Broncos (ditto)

Pats have no one else in their division who is playing like a top-tier team. Though the Jets could make a statement in the next few games.

  1. No one has played anyone. The only teams Magnificent Seven teams can make statement wins against are other Magnificent Seven teams. And the Patriots, Panthers, Broncos, Chiefs, Niners Saints, and Seahawks have not played each other much this year, thanks in part to a scheduling oddity that backloaded the Chiefs-Broncos and Saints-Panthers meetings. (That's what makes Week 11 so special). Here's the Magnificent Seven head-to-head results so far, arranged as if they were their own conference:

Seahawks, 2-0 (beat Panthers and Niners)
Patriots, 1-0 (beat Saints, game decided in last second)
Panthers, 1-1 (beat Niners, lost to Seahawks, both games close)
Chiefs, 0-0
Broncos, 0-0 (three Mag-7 games in next four weeks)
Saints, 0-1 (lost to Patriots)
Niners, 0-2 (lost to Panthers, blown out by Seahawks)

Patriots at Panthers

8:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN
Line: Panthers by 2½

Pre-written rough drafts of articles titled "The Panthers Have Arrived" are idling on hard drives around the country. Both ESPN and NFL Network have prepared graphics which read: "Panthers: Super Bowl Contenders?" and highlight montages of Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly, to broadcast while roundtables of experts weigh in on Newton's eliteness and elititude. The armada of coverage launches on Tuesday if the Panthers beat the Patriots on Monday night. Otherwise, it sits in dry dock until the Panthers travel to New Orleans on Dec. 8.

The Panthers bandwagon -- or flotilla, to extend the metaphor -- has been slow to sail for several reasons. The Panthers hadn't beaten any contenders before the Niners game. After they beat the Niners 10-9 last week, the Patriots loomed like a storm cloud on the horizon, so there was no need to take a risk by supporting a team with pronounced heartbreaker tendencies.

At first I was giddy about the reverie of our Monday night game but I have so grown tired of of the repetitive posts(mine included).  In the end I think one of two things will happen...  We win by a lot or lose by a little.

 

My burnout will end by 2:00 pm Monday or a few hours after that in large part due to copious amounts of alcohol. 

 

 

Until said time I will go ahead and summarize most posts regarding the game

 

1.  Go Panthers

2.  We have a great front 7

3. Our LB corp can stick with Gronk

4.  Our run game is key.

5.  We need to pressure Brady.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
