What Packers Fans Are Saying

We've known since the schedule release that this was going to be a tough game. To many people, the Packers are still the best team in the NFC. While a loss here wouldn't derail our season, a win would be huge for the Panthers. Not only to stay undefeated, but it shows that we can win big games. The past 3 weeks have felt like playoff games and this one will be no different. A win here builds that experience and confidence that will be beneficial in January.

The Pack is good, but we ain't too shabby ourselves.

I don't know that beating the Packers in Charlotte is tougher than leaving Seattle with a win, but I guess media perception makes it true. Personally, I look at their competition so far, and their season stats, and I see a beatable team. We need a solid, low turnover performance, but we can definitely go into Nashville 8-0.

Just now, CRA said:

it is Wed and Kalil is still in a boot.  I have mentally ruled him out. 

Boot doesn't mean much to me. He was warming up before the Colts game to see if he could play then had the boot on on the sidelines and he didn't suffer any setbacks. Rivera said Kalil was close for the Colts game so without setbacks he should be good for Sunday.

That was such bullpoo.  Refs are so horrible somethimes at things they really is no excuse for them to be that bad at.  Hey, let me blindside a NFL player and if he tries to get the unknown body off him I'll eject him.

We always have a chance but it wont be easy...Keys to the game are long offensive grinds to keep the ball out of Rogers hands and  to rest our D and keep them fresh. Ginn catching the ball and giving us some field position on punt returns. I'm thinking if Funch gets in they might neglect him and it might be a good time for him to take a step up and produce for us. Hope we have some new stuff from Shula because i'm sure they are onto the slant to Philly for an easy 10 and the fake up the middle with a toss handoff to Ginn for and end around....

EASILY the toughest game the Panthers will play all season. The Packers are beatable, but in the same vein, they have the ability to put this game away by the end of the 3rd if the Panthers don't win the TOP. We. Have. To. Move. The. Ball.   As others have said, if we allow this D to get gassed the way they did Monday, Rogers will feast. I feel good going into Sunday though, there's something special about this years squad, hopefully they'll display what's special about them on Sunday

with us being most likely without Kalil and Norwell, I am not too confident about this game. Rodgers will pick at the weak spots of the secondary (Harper and Tillman) if the DEs and DTs cannot generate pressure. McDermott is gonna have to get creative with his blitzes to keep Rodgers out of his rhythm. And on offense, we have to somehow establish the running game behind Velasco and Scott filling in for Kalil and Norwell. I think we should be able to keep it close, but I can't say I am all that confident with so many important players being injured.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
