Weren't we unanimously picked against them the first time we played?

 

In fact, now that I think about it, haven't we been unanimously picked against in every major matchup? 

 

I say let the media keep talking. Piss Greg Hardy and Co. off even more. Yea, Im sure thats what that SF offense wants.

Who cares what NFL Network thinks...and no, the entire fanbase could care less about Ric Flair...at least I hope they do.

 

i dont think people care specifically what NFLN says. for me, its more of the general concept in the media that the panthers are underdogs at home. thats what has the fanbase fired up. its the general lack of respect from everyone that is pissing us off. however i'll agree with you about flair. now lets stop talking about him before Zod locks this thread haha

Agreed.  But back to NFLN, I feel like it never bothers me because I like being the underdog.  Remember when we played Arizona an NO ONE picked Arizona to win?  Those situations bother more than this one.

 

And I don't feel like its a lack of respect as some do.  It may be hyping up the bigger market or it may be just how they feel about the game.  We are still a relatively new team in the fray when it comes to success.  Rarely do those teams go very far in the playoffs (although san fran did it last year).  

 

The bad thing is that no matter what if we win this week I guarantee that we will be underdogs next week and probably two weeks after that game too.  We have to earn it and, me personally, I'm fine with that.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
