How is it that every year (no matter how we do the previous season) one of the other teams is ALWAYS picked ahead of us? I think the last time we were picked to win our division was the year after the Super Bowl...crazy.

And we didn't, that might explain it to you...

Would be very nice the Panthers 11th to Beat Philly 4th and Atlanta 9th in our first 2 games. Blow this chart to hell right away.

Though we are playing at the Georgia Dome in that game Atlanta will still be molding their newer defensive players while we should have all 11 of our Offensive starters back and ready to pound the birds in the dirt. Our Defense returns 10 of our starters though Gonzalez will be a new wrinkle for the Falcons. Our more simpler more aggressive defensive philosophy will be getting after Ryan.

Philly will be putting more emphasis on the passing game while the Panthers will be putting more emphasis on pressuring the quarterback. Early test we'll see how it works out . . . More Birds in the dirt, nice.

I think NY at 3 is the most overrated team. They lost plax, and derrick ward. They will have a good defense, but are in one of the hardest divisions in the league and they are playing the whole nfc south, which imo is the second best division. I don't think they will win their division, and will have to fight for a playoff spot.

The national media has never really given the Panthers much respect. When they have, the Panthers have fallen flat. I don't put a whole lot of stock in what these "experts" say. Nobody saw the Panthers going 12-4 last year and they did. I used to get upset when the media overlooked the Panthers, but now I just look at it as pecil pushing geeks who have never played a down of football in their life, giving an opinion and calling it fact.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
