The penultimate game of the Carolina Panthers’ 2025 season is here with storylines to spare. Whether you want a Sam Darnold Revenge Game, a Dave Canales homecoming, the chance for the Panthers to go three for three over projected number one seeds in the NFC, or just the casual pleasure of watching the Panthers compete for their part in clinching their first playoff berth since 2017.
A win over the Seahawks and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to the Miami Dolphins clinches the Panthers playoff entrance
and seed with a week to spare this season. That’s huge, but perhaps not as big as the team actually looking like they belong on the same field as Seattle.
Win or lose, a competitive Panthers team today speaks more towards the sustainability of the program that Canales is building more than tying up the worst division in football.
Of course, we all know the roller coaster. Since ending their seven-year high, three-game winning streak with a Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Panthers have gone loss-win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-win for eight weeks. That puts them on pace for a loss to the Seahawks today and a win against the Bucs next week. On the other of course hand, the Panthers are known for doing anything but what we expect. I guess we’ll see this afternoon.
This is your open thread to follow along with us for all the action today.
You know the drill.
