Just got around to watching the short Game Plan Panthers vs Vikings video at Panthers.com

Wow, Eugene is pretty much rendered speechless by the play of Bradford & Diggs.  Sounds very very surprised (and a tad anxious?) about how good they were last week.

He and Szoke do go on to talk about how the Panthers defense can get to him and break up plays, but if Bradford & Diggs have games like last week, it could definitely by a tough one for the Panthers.  Seeing in slow motion some of the plays they made really has me impressed.

We need to bring our A game this week.

I would actually be more worried about Jerick Mckinnon. As long as the Oline give him a little, he is going to be difficult for you guys. He's an elite athlete compared to other NFL players.

He was raw in 2014 having only played RB for one year but has been working with AP for 2 years

I have to admit, their D-line is concerning.  If our O-line can hold up, then we'll have an excellent chance at a double digit victory. If not, it will be a long, grind-it-out, disjointed type of day where hopefully Cam and our big receivers can do enough to break their backs.

Stefon Diggs is a helluva receiver. I don't know that we can stop him. Getting pressure on Bradford will help. 

This game will hinge upon which D-line can wreak the most havoc.

OR it could be the kiss of every lasting life.

Let us hope.  I think a lot of folks are looking at the points Carolina has been putting up at home over the past 10+ games and thinking it is going to be hard for any team to keep up.  The LEAST they scored in Charlotte last season was 24.  I do think the Vikings will be a really good measuring stick for where the Panthers are as a team after the Denver battle.  The 49ers were a good bounce back win, but I don't think they are going to be very good at all this season.

Lol and the point is?  Even still going by PFF Luke was their highest graded LBer by quite a damn big margin last season.  Barr had like a 93 or something overall grade for the season... Luke had a 99, and that's only because they had to bring him down a point because the 100+ he actually had wasn't supposed to be possible.

Once again, according to PFF, Luke just had the greatest LBer season they've ever witnessed/graded.  They had him ranked as the 3rd best player in the entire league, including both offense and defense.

Citing PFF really isn't helping your case -- at all -- in trying to make an argument that Barr is the better overall player.

Better overall means better.  Period.  Barr isn't a better player than Luke.  In a hypothetical situation where a team is being built and it's between Luke and Barr... 32 out of 32 GMs in the NFL would pick Luke without a second thought.

I hate that everyone is picking us to win. I thought it would be a lot closer in the experts opinions. 93% on pickwatch is crazy 

I know what you mean.  I was shocked to see unanimous picks by PFF, and then all the media listed in the Panthers Pickin It article:

http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Pickin-It-Week-3/b928cc8e-8f01-40c2-bcc0-dcd1ea39c009

It's funny.  For so long we complained about the lack of respect....  and now we have it, but it still makes us so nervous as it it's some kind of curse.  Sigh.  Sports' psychology is definitely something I'll never understand! (And I'm speaking mostly about myself and my own double-mindedness as a fan more than about anyone else.)

Not saying the 49ers are playoff bound, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they beat the Seahawks this weekend. I hope they do.

I hope they do as well and it wouldn't totally surprise me either.  The Seahawks offense is offensive.  Their Oline is trash and with a hobbled wilson they will struggle to move the ball.  Probably will get Gabbert to do some dumb poo though.  The Hawks still have a stacked D.

    • Honestly for over month. I was meaning to do a troll "Super sleeper WR had a off year on a bad team...." thread that featured Dionte Johnson...... let the poop fly. I didn't mind it either, Ive been looking to use that gif for months. Juan cannot take all of them..
    • Steal of the century with Nolen at 57. It didn't stop there either. I know you cannot fill all the needs/wants, WR was just never in the cards. Since it felt fantasy I drafted a Clemson player.... I feel less than 2% chance walker makes it to 8th, he along with jenty are the start of tier 2.  I'd trade yosh for future late rounder since Emery Jones is the RT of the future. Or wait until TC injuries hit OT, yosh should have a little trade value.  2026 this draft could yield 5-7 starters if the lotto is real.....    
    • Ny Times           Jaylin Walker to Raiders   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, edge, Georgia The second Georgia player to go in the top 10, Williams was injured in the 2024 opener against Clemson and didn’t get to play much in the first half of last season. But he was back for a big game at Texas in October and gave UT fits, notching two sacks. He had two more sacks against the Longhorns in the SEC title game. The 6-5, 260-pounder has 34 1/2-inch arms with potential that makes D-line coaches giddy. “He was banged up a lot this year, but when he was close to 100 percent, he’s super twitchy,” an SEC tight ends coach said. “He’s a freak.” He’ll boost a Carolina team that had the worst pass rush in the league. “He’s more of the traditional defensive end guy than Walker,” said an SEC O-line coach who was really impressed by both Georgia players. “He can either be that 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 end. He has real pass rush ability. I think he’s an elite edge rusher. He’s great chasing from behind, and he can play the run well enough.”   ESPN Rd 1 8. Carolina Panthers Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, Georgia The Panthers have made a series of edge rusher investments over the past two years, but none has massively moved the needle. The Panthers -- who allowed the most yards per play (6.0) and tied for the third-fewest sacks (32) last season -- could truly address their need in the top 10, though. Walker had 6.5 sacks in 2024 even though he spent a lot of his time patrolling the middle of the field at off-ball linebacker. Carolina could deploy Walker in a hybrid role since it needs a boost at both linebacker and edge rusher.   rd 2  57. Carolina Panthers (via LAR) Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State At 5-foot-10 and 194 pounds, Noel might be a better fit in the slot than outside. But he has serious explosion, averaging 14.9 yards per catch last season en route to 1,194 yards and eight scores. Noel could join Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker to form an intriguing young WR corps.   NFL.COM. IDEAL FIRST 2 picks Round 1: No. 8 overall: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State Round 2: No. 57 overall: Kevin Winston Jr. S, Penn State The Panthers might have bigger needs on their roster than at tight end, but they are unlikely to find a more impactful player on offense than Warren. His presence as a safety valve and red-zone threat would aid Bryce Young's progression as a third-year starter. In this scenario, they take Winston -- a rangy, secure tackler -- to play beside free-agent pick-up Tre'von Moehrig. By taking two prospects from the same school with their first two picks, they follow the lead of the Rams (who actually traded Carolina this year's 57th overall pick as part of the process of pairing Jared Verse and Braden Fiske of Florida State) and Jaguars (who took Brian Thomas Jr. and Maason Smith out of LSU) last year.
