Panther's 2008 Regular Season Schedule

I think it is great the panthers start off against the Chargers. San Diego made the playoffs last year and look to be there again this season. If Carolina could start off and beat the Chargers, it would set the tone for the season. The win would give the Panthers some much needed confidence to start the year.

We will find early what our run defense can do, since we have to play teams like the Chargers and theVikings in the first three games of the season. It is uncertain how L.T. will bounce back from his knee injury from last year, but he is still a big play threat. Plus, Carolina has to play Minnesota and their incredible one-two punch in A.P. and Chester Taylor.

They will be playing two tough road games to end the season. One tough game against the defending NFL champs, and one against New Orleans. We all know that division games are always tough. Both of these games being away, Carolina better get off to a good start if they plan on being on the field in January.

A few key games to look out for are:

Week 10 vs. Oakland Raiders- Smith and Hall's rivalry not over yet, and Drew Carter will be lining up for the Raiders. Look for this game to be full of emotion and adreniline.

Week 15 vs. Denver Broncos- Keary Colbert's new home, interesting to see how he will do against his old team.
