If we can't even beat the Jags, then what team can we beat? What team on our schedule is worse than the Jags? The Bucs maybe? Have I totally misread our team? It would seem to me that our defense would totally strangle the young and inexperienced Jag offense. If they carve up our defense then EVERYONE save the Bucs will do the same. Are we looking at a fuging 2-3 win season? Can't be. I just can't possibly see a loss to the Jags. If we lose to the 3 win Jags burn this poo down. We're finished. The rest of the teams we play this season (except the Bucs) are better than the Jags.

Our defense won't necessarily be a problem unless they get tired from being on the field due to an ineffective offense. If we can keep them honest with our passing game,  then we will win because we will force them out of the box,  and in turn we will rip them to shreds.

I think that our defense will be better than Jacksonville and I think we will run better than they will. They may be better in the air but our front seven are better than theirs. I think the offense will be better than people think and Gano is going to be money this year

 Panthers 20

Jacksonville 14

I just don't see a rookie RB and second yr QB carving up our D.

also......he must have forgotten about our LB's.

Guessing he gives points to the home team, regardless of who's playing. 

Our Panthers cut most the fat on the team that made last season such a mess and strengthened all the areas that were the cause of last year's ugly record. 

If we had Ginn last season, I would basically guarantee 3-more wins based off of better starting field position alone, not even mentioning how much better our current OL is compared to what we had last season. 

We we also improved both LB and upgraded our defensive backfield. 

Mist critics picked TB to beat us in our first game last season as well and I know that no other NFCS improved their roster as much as we did this offseason, so we should be favorites to repeat as division champs. 

Its not like we're asking Cam for more than 275 yards passing to keep the defense fresh and half of last year we had Fozzy and Reaves as our rushing attack with swole bones as our FB because Tolbert, Stew and Deangelo missed considerable playing time due to injury. So there's another upgrade there.

how can you favor one of the worst teams in the league over a probable divisional favorite? 

Fug the pundits...can't wait to see them all stumble their way onto the Panther's bandwagon.

I just don't get the sudden Jags love this season. What have they done to be so much better that people are calling them a sleeper team and how they will beat us?! Added Julien Thomas? (Who btw is out for our game?!) 

I could see if they were a 7-8 win team last season and right on the brink of greatness, but they weren't. I just don't get the sudden Jags love suddenly

Our defensive line is going to take such a massive dump on their o-line, it's not even right. This matchup is so completely wonderful for us, anyone picking us to lose is not looking at the match up correctly at all. I have said it all month and will continue saying it; we are going to blow Jacksonville out, and it won't even be relatively close.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
