Another sign that the season is fast approaching, Fox put its pre-season power ranking out yesterday.

The panthers are at a respectable 8th going into the year.

SUMMER STRENGTH: This is definitely a John Fox team, constructed on offense around a dominant ground game that ranked third in the NFL last season with a franchise record 2,437 rushing yards and 30 TDs. The backs are stacked, with the DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart combo spiced up with rookie third-round speedster Mike Goodson, and the strong O-line returns all five starters to camp.

CAMP CONCERN: Can a secondary that was torched in Carolina's 33-13 playoff loss to Arizona erase the trauma this summer?

COOL STAT: Including their wild-card loss at Arizona, the Panthers gave up 30+ points in five of their last seven games.

falcons at 4 though?

That list is surprisingly good considering that all of them are usually horrible. Falcons at four is not unbelievable, a little higher than I would have them though. Eighth for the panthers is probably right, and that's where I would put them if I wasn't such a homer.

      Tomorrow is a must win

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
