[ladypanther]

Now Panthers -1.5.  Maybe KK news got some money on the Bears?

I don't really think the Bears are that great.

How many great teams are there?  Care to provide a list?

People have pointed to their defense, and that's a valid concern. Their offense though...

Their horrific offense will match up well with our horrific defense.

I think their backfield match up well with Teddy and co.

I think the game winning aspect to watch is the Panthers Oline vs the bear dline. So far this year the Panthers have teetered on being right smack in the middle (average of rankings) for the oline. All the while being asked to do one of the easiest if not the easiest jobs in the nfl- block for quick release TB and WCO scheming.

Now some of that is skewed by LT injury.

Also, they have played pretty garbage dlines outside of the Raiders.

However in their favor, they have no doubt gotten better as the season has went along, a great sign.

On a related note - Davis has played last ranked defenses at this point and the Bears should be a good test for him, and give us some food for thought about CMCs impact. I don’t believe garbage defenses who dare I say have worse tackling form than the panthers (ahem falcons), a hard feat, really mean all that much.

But most importantly give us a better idea of if the oline is better than or worse than average - and that will determine the game.

Ball has to come out quick and we can’t get behind and let them just tee-off. Good dbs and good line would make digging out of a deficit very hard. 

Burns being hurt worries me. Him playing or sitting would be my deciding factor. Also, I know everyone here Is aware that Chinn is legit. For some reason, this feels like a game where he goes off and is no longer a secret.
