Considering we're probably going to to be playing a banged up backup at QB, I can.

I don't think we're going to to be going all out to win this one. As soon as it was clear that the Vikings were going to to win yesterday, some of our key starters got pulled.

If they have all backups, and we have our healthy starters, then I would feel supremely confident in a win. Our trenches would totally blow them up. We'd be running the ball into the endzone. QB could just hand it off.

You mean our trenches full of backups and backup quality players? Good chance that Short and Turner don't play.

Look for the Saints to put the pedal to the metal early on and build a 2 or 3 score lead over the Panthers, forcing Ron and company to have to climb back into the game during the second half when NO pulls many of their starters.

 

Then it would be a nail biter where I'm extremely worried we'll win it late.

Even there though, the phrase "all our healthy starters" excludes a guy who's kind of important, and his backup didn't look so good this past Sunday.

Not surprised, they love to step on our throats....probably will go for a blowout.

I honestly respect the killer mentality Payton puts in his team.

Its one of those things that holds us back. I think Tepper has it too but long as he keeps this staff he will never get it out this team.

The more fans who say they like our chances of losing, or it's up in the air, the better. It makes me feel better about the game. I want a loss. I just can't see it. I'd put odds extremely low. I'm aware of who won't be playing on our side.

I liked Allen better than Hein from what little I saw. Allen is kinda stiff and lacking in athleticism, but he seemed to be reading the field well. But then out charges our little Rudy with his scattershot passes. Tough season and it's not over yet. One stressful game left.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
