Panthers will "light up the scoreboard today".

[Jeremy Igo]

So says a source from inside the locker room.

Have a look.

I don't doubt the Panthers score some points today. McCaffrey is unguardable. But can the defense force a turnover or two? Can they stop a few drives to give us the edge? Which team will make a mistake? If the Panthers can play mistake free football, we might actually see a close game and maybe even a win.

Just get a Dub. That's all I care about.

I am down with this. To me the biggest crack in the offense's armor going into the game would be an Oline that hasn't had time to gell leading to pressure on Teddy that creates turnovers. If the oline holds up against the rush, I do think this offense could put up significant numbers and should be fun to watch.

I think the defense will be better than advertised.  I think we will win 31-30.

There are twenty some offensive players on the Panthers roster not named Christian McCaffrey.

If I'm an opposing coach or player right now, not a single one of them scares me.

If we're going to light up any scoreboards, that's going to need to change.

I predict the defense gets 3 interceptions today!

The one thing that's likely to carry over from Rivera (at least initially) is we look to be a defense that'll be a lot more threatening up front than on the back end.

I'm hoping Phil Snow changes that giv n time, but right now my expectations are low.

[Proudiddy]

Wow.  Bold proclamation.  I hope we can back it up...  excited about the whole team, but the more I've thought about it, leading up to GameDay, i'm worried about Waller and Ruggs versus our secondary...  but, I think the front 7 can be scary good and hide the secondary until they catch up.

[top dawg]

I've been saying 31-17 from the get-go, & that's what I'm sticking with! 

Everyone will contribute, Robby Anderson will surprise Panthers fans, and Jeremy Chinn will become a revelation!

[Mr. Scot]

If we want to light up anything, we're gonna need a way more consistent offensive line than we've had in the last few years.

That's probably going to be one of my big focuses today.

[run-run-pass-punt]

I think I know nothing about nothing, but I sure am excited to have my ignorance illuminated.

Are new scoreboard lights being installed prior to kickoff?
