So, you're telling me there's a chance?

Week 1 of the 2024 season is finally upon us. The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived. After much debate and suffering, we Panther's fans finally get to see our new team under new HC Canales. There's very little hope around for the new season with most fans just too damaged after consecutive years of terrible Panther's football that expectations are low with most set on being content if the Panther' can just win 4-5 games and not finished dead last again. 

This morning I went to the NFL network to see the game predictions fully expecting the Saints to be the unanimous choice to win today but much to my surprise that wasn't the case. One brave writer is swimming against the flow and has picked Carolina to win today's game in New Orleans versus the hated Saints. That's right, Gannaro says we're gonna win this one and this is why.

As you can see above. He believes the changes we've made on offense this off season will be the difference maker against our division foe. The Saint's roster is old but they are under a new offensive system for the first time in years. Their offensive line is bad and he says we've done more to improve ours so he's giving us the nod in game 1. 

I want to believe. I really do, and as the game approaches I can't help but look at my refrigeratore where and have a freshly made pitcher of Tropical Punch Kool-aid chilling before game time. Over the next few hours I and we have a tough decision to make. To drink or not to drink, that is the question.

So fans, are you drinking the Kool-aid today or not?

Please tell us your beverage today and why.

I'll take a hit of that hopium

I try to believe every year at the start of the season, at the start of every game. 

There's something different about the vibe this time around.

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

I believe we will be and it starts with New Orleans.

Madden also predicts we win today.

So it must be true.

There's always a chance and the reason odds have a 1:(some #) structure.  I still say the Saints win.

New team, new season. Let's get it!

In a game of insane momentum changes, my son and I played this game last night on the highest setting ...

And while the first half was insanely intense back and forth battle,  the defense absolutely dominated in the second half n picking off just about every red zone attempt made. 

 

What does that mean for today's real game? Not a damn thing. 

 

Go Panthers!

2-15 last year and I woke up feeling like I was a kid on Christmas. I just can’t quit this drug we call Panthers football and at least for the next few hours I’m excited for a new season.

I know I'm one of the few....

I am excited to see Bryce lead this team today.

Gotta have hope, otherwise why even watch? Go Panthers!
