I just went over to SR (My first mistake) and saw someone say that Ingram will carry the team on his back...well...lets look at some stats I just dug through.  Since our win streak to end last season, here are the leading rushers against us in every game (Including playoff games)

December 7 against Saints - Ingram:43 yards

December 14 against Buccaneers - Martin:93 yards (highest during this stretch)

December 21 against Browns - Crowell:55 yards

December 28 against Falcons - Rogers:44 yards

January 3 against Cardinals - Williams:23 yards

January 10 against Seahawks - Lynch:59 Yards (Playoff Loss)

Sept 13 against Jaguars - Yeldon:51 yards

Sept 20 against Texans - Polk:38 yards

Even before this stretch, we've been good against the run for a while.  I hardly am afraid of Ingram grinding this team to a win.  That said, I'm less confident against McCown than I was against Brees.  Even if he's the greatest of all time, the offense isn't designed to be decent if he can't throw the ball further than 15 yards.  The only real receiving weapon on the saints team right now is Brandin Cooks and he's a speedy deep threat, so if you cant push the ball more than 15 yards down the field, how effective can he Brees really be?  McCown will make bad decisions, make no mistake about that (I'm guessing we're gonna end up on the plus side of the turnover margin as long as we take the game seriously), but he will be able to throw the ball downfield which is essential to open up their offense.  I've said all along, we're gonna get a push from the saints early, but if we weather their best shot early, we should win this game and probably comfortably.

and think about how many games we did that with Star.

Who is going to play tomorrow, from what I hear.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
