Does anybody think we upset Philly next week?

[TN05]

If we can't beat Mark Sanchez I'll have officially lost hope.

Maybe if Foles is out.

I believe we can pull off the upset against the Eagles. I've seen in a few of these games that when the offence does well the defense sucks and when the defense does well the offence sucks. If we can get both sides going on the same page then we have a good chance of winning. That being said, I'm not getting my hopes up and I'm certainly not betting on it.

[WhoAmI?]

Let me put it to you guys this way:

Starting the philly defense next week is basically a no brainer for me

 

I feel horrible about it (not really), but I've been streaming every defense that goes against us every week. The Panthers can bullsh*t around, but I got a money league to win!

[Carolina Crazy V2]

As bad as Rivera is on short weeks, he is somehow worse after long weeks or byes

 

We did go 11-2 after the bye week last season. 

 

But we did lose the game immediately after the bye. And then the one after the playoff bye. 

 

I agree with you. 

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

I think we could possibly be a little more competitive, but I see Ron being completely outcoached again

My thoughts !!!

[CarolinaNut]

Even with Mark Sanchez at QB..No, we have no chance whatsoever of winning this game..we suck

[CarolinaAllDay]

Foles is ruled out

What other teams HAVE DONE against competent teams doesn't matter when they face the Panthers any more than west coast teams like Seattle playing at 1pm on the east coast or the Saints playing the Panthers on a short Sunday night - Thursday night turnaround mattered like it would have if they would've been playing a team with a clue. The Steelers were supposed to have the worst run defense in the league and not be able to run the ball, until they played the Panthers.

 

None of what a team "usually" has problems with matters when the Panthers are the next opponent.  

 

Stop and ask yourself why every team's "weakness" becomes a strength when they play the Panthers, and then you'll understand why the Panthers' coaching staff should be fired. 

^Wow, I was just thinking about this over the weekend as I was watching some "real" football being played by college and pro teams. All the excuses in the world e.g. short week, bye week, lack of talent, etc., appear to have no effect how other teams seem to get it done. I'm thinking another game like we had against the Saints - defense keeps us in it until they wear out due to the ineptness of our Shula-fied offense.

[Happy Panther]

Philly opens at -5. Seems about right. Thought it would be slightly lower.

[pantherclaw]

Any given game day.

[General_Purr]

I think we win the game. We certainly can... you sad sacks we are going against Mark Sanchez. We have to contain Mccoy and Jordan Matthews in the red zone.. 

We have the players to beat them.. I don't know about scheme or this conservative bullshit but we can win for sure.

 

I just don't want to get embarrassed on national tv anymore. My twitter feed is full of panthers are trash.. 

[Rise of The Hive]

We have them right where we want them now.

Philly is much better at home, but I give the panthers a decent shot at a upset. Just don't get behind point wise, I mean no more than seven.........
