Now a lot of the media is picking the Eagles because of a letdown game for us

[Sam Mills Fan]

Do you think that's possible? In the past under Rivera when we've had huge wins, we've had very close nailbiter wins the following week. Won on the last play of the game vs. New England after the San Francisco win in 2013. Survived a Hail Mary just short of the end zone against Miami after beating New England. Won 21-20 over the Falcons after the win against the Saints in the rain. 

 

I think this will follow that same formula. We'll probably get down early against Philly and people will be wanting to jump off cliffs and then we'll fight back in the 4th to win it by 3 points or less.

Let them pick the Eagles please pick the Eagles, just more fuel for the fire currently burning in our locker room....

vet leadership....this is a different mindset then we've seen from our boys in awhile! It's like josh said, 53 players believe they're the best and want to prove it each and every week

In 2013 when the Panthers traveled west to SF and won a tough battle against a great team, they followed that up by defeating the New England Patriots on MNF. That's right, Tom Brady and the Patriots. That game was followed by a 4th quarter comeback win against the Dolphins in Miami.

The reason I bring this up is because Rivera brought up the similarities to the 2013 game on the west and then playing NE at home on MNF, to going out to Seattle and getting the W and now playing the Eagles at home on SNF.

 

exactly, when we lose it won't be because we aren't prepared or taking a team lightly, it will be because they were simply the better team that day! Rivera has them in the right mindset and I don't for see either one of the next two teams as simply better than us.

Looks like Cam's gonna get the first couple of checks cut to the "Cam Newton Foundation for Kids".

Thanks goodness they don't determine wins and losses by popular vote.

Possible? It is possible the Lions could be the Patriots.  NFL.   All it takes is one person not doing their job and any team can lose to anyone.

the eagles played last and won on national tv, so of course the short-sighted memory is going to pick what they saw most recently

i actually think we will be pressing the gas and pull away in the 4th and win by 10+

85% of Analysts on Pickswatch have picked the Panthers tho.

I think the Panthers will be more pumped for the Eagles than they were for the seahawks because of the very bad showing last year. Or at least the same.

Next week would be most likely let down game in my opinion if we are looking ahead to GB and take the Colts lightly. I'm sure we want revenge against Philly for the beating they gave us last year.

I really don't care who they pick it's still not going to make a difference. Eagles are in for a rude awaking when they face us.

Forgot that Dolphins game came after those two.  That was an epic three game stretch.
