ALL IS NOT LOST

[mc52beast]

Strength of schedule seems to mean nothing when we talk about Carolina... they make ALL games difficult to win, regardless of the competition.

If we lose tomorrow it is pretty much over. If this team can't beat the Saints at home with the Saints on an even shorter week... Then...... Welp

Yeah I agree the momentum would swing in their favor. With the question marks we have across our roster we would be in trouble.

[KendrickPanther]

Zod is right sadly. If we lose at home the Saints...chances are lose on the road. We give them 2 game lead on us.

Lots of injuries to overcome. Although, good teams don't use that as an excuse to be fair.

Look at the Patriots. They really have nobody playing but still manages to pull out wins.

I don't necessarily agree. After the game in New Orleans last year the Saints were 10-3 with a head to head win and a game lead as the Panthers were 9-4. Most people thought the division was a wrap but the Saints finished 1-2 and the Panthers finished 3-0 to take the division.

If hesitate to call this division over with so much football to play.

Pretty much sums it up. This game might also be the last straw for Ron and crew too if we lose.

 

Don't think the Ron and crew part is even remotely a possibility. Should it be? Yes, but it won't be. 

[ThPantherFan]

I'm sorry.  The season is only half over and I'm not about to panick yet.  I would love to win out and yes, I don't think that is possible with the O line as it is.  The Panthers have 53 professional players capable of stepping up if called upon.  I plan to believe they will.

Don't think the Ron and crew part is even remotely a possibility. Should it be? Yes, but it won't be. 

 

I'm talking more in terms of after the season. Obviously they aren't going to fire their whole coaching staff midseason. However, Shula being canned if we underachieve on offense this Thursday could very well happen.

I know its still early, but we'll know who the division champs are tomorrow night.

We still owe the Saints on Primetime. Lets hope both sides of the ball show up tomorrow.

DeAngelo is back, that is huge.

I'm in embrace the tank mode now. After the loss last night and the way the offense has looked this season I don't see any benefit to winning the division just to get trounced in the wildcard round. The higher the draft pick the better.
