Fully expect Kalil, and Shaq to be healthy.  Everyone else out, and if that happens, that's not good.  We need pass rushers, and having Dwan and Mario out will hurt against the Pack.  

Any chance they'd bring up Cox from the PS to help give more rotation options / keep legs fresh?

DeLaire since having 2 very good starting games, has been quiet for the past two games, and I hope with him rotating with Allen, to be a big impact player this game, with Rodgers ability to pick apart defense's when he does have time, it could get ugly VERY quickly for us.  Lets hope we can get to him early and often.

I think Jared Allen's experience playing against the Packers will certainly help the team. Pass rush will be key on defense and on offense it is going to be imperative that we make sure Peppers doesn't have a day that makes all of the fans in the stands miss him again.

This isn't a statement game, or even a game where we have anything to prove. It is just a competitive game and the kind that is the bread and butter of good teams. We're playing like the big boys now, here's what it will be like throughout the playoffs.

Win and move forward.

Absolutely incorrect and you know you are, you're just trying to speak in coach talk. You aren't a coach.

You win this game, you make a statement to the entire league that this team isn't just for real, but is terrifying as an 8-0 team that just beat the Packers and now have a 2 game lead in the NFC. Also, this game has significant #1 playoff seed implications.

I've been wondering how the short week will factor in, as well as the added exhaustion of playing in the rain until the early hours of Tues a.m....

This game more than any other this season I think will test the Panthers' mettle...  really wish we had the extra day for rest & preparation.

Just checked stats.  Under Cam & Rivera, we're 1-2 in games following Monday night.  Loss in 2012 & 2014, win in 2013... 

Obviously we've seen this year that the Panthers are breakig a lot of old stereotypes.  I hope they really play up to their fullest potential on Sunday.  What a win it would be to beat Green Bay.  I really never thought it likely early in the season, but now it feels like it could be in reach.  So exciting.

If we were thinking revenge for Philly then you know it's the same for Green Bay.

Once again, I have faith that Ron, TD, Luke, Greg and Cam will gently remind everyone what happened last year.  This is the final stop on the revenge tour.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
