Inside The NFL picks Cards/Panthers winner

The entire crew is picking Carolina to win Saturday, even Boomer Esiason who was calling for a re-seeding after our win in Atlanta. The common theme among all of them was that Ryan Lindley won't be able to deal with our improved defense and that Arizona will struggle to stop Cam.

really hate this. Esiason, BTW, is as bad as it gets in NFL commentary. 

 

This is gonna be an old school football game. I could see it being something like 17-6. They CANNOT let the Cards establish ANY sort of running game. I know Andre Ellington is out, but if for some reason the Panthers front 7 doesn't show up and the Cardinals bad offensive line does - it's gonna make the game a lot easier on Lindley and could cost us the game.

Hopefully the L to the 9ers last season will help them this year. Last season, they played the "We get no respect" card and every interview I saw...I heard a panthers player talking about "we get no respect, we are a home under dog, nobody is expecting us to win" etc....well this year it's different. You are a big home favorite and many "experts" (and I use that term very lightly, especially with Boomer Esiason being mentioned) are expecting you to win. If they play like they've played the past couple of weeks they should be able to take care of business but Arians is most def the better coach.

Panthers are notorious for giving no name guys a breakout game. I still remember the Reuben Droughns game. I recall Andre Brown a few years ago. I'm sure many of you can add to the list. 

 

Profootballtalks picks

MDS - Panthers

Florio - Cards

 

CBS 

Everyone on board with Carolina EXCEPT Prisco.

 

ESPN

Everyone EXCEPT Golic and Jaws. 

 

 

Probable NFL Coach of the Year Bruce Arians is going to have plenty of ammo to fire up his team if they get off on the "no respect" card. This has me worried.

one of the things that has bugged me the most about this fanbase and even this team from time to time is this obsession with being the underdog.

 

newsflash...you can't be great and be an underdog.

 

 

play king of the hill. be the big dog that makes it to the top and stake your claim. take it as yours and fend off everyone who wants to take over your hill.

 

enough of this trying to live under the radar. once you start winning consistently, you are no longer the underdog. you are no longer under the radar.

 

do you guys want to win consistently or do you want to be perennial underdogs always under the radar? and if you say you want to wait until we have a better team...well, you are always going to be waiting. you know why? likely because you're scared of success and/or afraid of losing success and feel it's better to have never attained it than to have it and lost it.

 

we have reached a point in the new season where everyone is 0-0. all that matters is what your team is doing now and this team looks as good as any team in the playoffs. sure, some are scary, but so are we. our defense is finally clicking again, the OL is gelling and giving cam protection and opening holes for the run game. the WRs and TEs are gelling with cam (and yes, there are drops, but there are also big plays being made) and cam is looking as good as he ever has.

 

point is, we have a shot and we look good. when things are clicking, there's no hiding how lethal this team can be on both sides of the ball. sure, we have our issues, but what championship team doesn't?

 

don't be afraid to feel good about our chances and don't take other people's confidence in our team as a bad omen. people believe what the panthers can do. how is that a bad thing? that means that they are doing the right things. feel good about that. if they can see it, why can't you?

Motivation only does so much when you are playing with a 3rd string QB like Lindley.

I agree I just feel that some in the fanbase including myself is basing this feeling on past experience. I hope like hell any doubt will be removed by halftime.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
