I have this gut feeling we are going to open up the season against the Chiefs on Thursday night on NBC

Opening on thursday would be great.  Best time to do thursday night is after a bye, last preseason game is basically a bye

Is your gut a certain unverified source on Twitter? 

I’ve been told this by a person on the Chiefs side whom I’ve known for years and is very reliable. 
He told me I could take this news to the bank with interest, he was that sure. 
If this doesn’t happen, I will gladly ban myself from the huddle for all of eternity

You initially said this was a gut feeling.  Is this person a gastroenterologist?

I mean I can’t see any negatives if this is true. It’s prime time. If we lose then it’s nothing big as we are already expected to lose to the super bowl champs anyways, but if we win then it could be a huge statement. That being said I think we are gonna get our butts kicked.

Why would the NFL have us on prime time the first week? I would be surprised if we are not 1 Thursday game and the rest 1pm Sunday games. If we do get a prime time game it will probably be flexible.

Gut feeling was probably the wrong wording lol. But I was told this last night. I’m not gonna sit here and pat myself on the back of its true, I’m 99% sure it’s a go, but if not, then oh well too. I really don’t post a lot on here because of my job, but have been a member for years. So whenever I do post, it’s got some good traction behind it

I live in KC and, if true, this might make it the first Panthers game I don't make it to here in town. There've only been 4 of them over the years, including the preseason game in 1997, but if that's the case the prices will be exorbitant. My brother lives in Denver and when we were talking about the season opener in '16 the tickets were like $600 each.

      Draft Grades

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
