Inside The NFL picks Cards/Panthers winner

[RelaxImaPro]

I hate everyone picking us, and saying there's no reason we should lose.

 

We're still a team that has at times shown some serious flaws, and Arizona is a GOOD team.  A damn good team, with a damn good coach.  Their only problem is their QB, but that team is as tight and ugly-winning as it gets.

 

I'm more worried about tomorrow's game than I would be if we were playing the Seahawks.  I just hope the Panthers don't roll out there with the same mindset a lot of fans and the media has.

This reminds me of 05 bears game in the regular season

Arizona was a good team for the first 10 games.

The past 6...not so much. Not only has their offense gone to crap, but their defense has also sprung major leaks over that time.

pretty much the opposite story with us. we started out weak for most of the season then finally people got healthy and things started clicking and we started winning.

 

what matters more? being hot for the first 10 weeks or the last 6?

It was also a landslide consensus that we'd win in the 08-09 playoffs

Let's hope it works out this time

We should beat Arizona.

Stop being pussies.

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?

 

 

Preach it, brother
