Gauging where our excitement lies for the coming season
The regular season schedule for the Carolina Panthers was released last week and has given fans a lot to chew over before the season opens on September 7th. That opener is going to be huge in a lot of ways, but I don’t consider it to be the most exciting game on the Panthers schedule. There are too many questions about Bryce Young’s development, the new talent on defense, and Dave Canales’ second year for the season opener to be anything other than nerve-wracking for me.
The rest of the schedule, however, is wide open for my hopes and dreams as a fan. I see the season broken into a handful of different storylines based on the schedule, which gives us four games that I think could be the most interesting if the Panthers are at all competitive in 2025. Those games are Week 3 vs the Atlanta Falcons, our home opener, Week 8 vs the Buffalo Bills, possibly the hardest game on the Panthers schedule, Week 10 vs the New Orleans Saints, the start of the meat of the NFC South schedule, and Week 12 at the San Francisco 49ers, the Panthers overdue return to prime time television.
Which of these games excites you the most in the 2025 season? Are you more hyped for a different game on the schedule? Scroll down to the comments below and let us know.
