Trap games happen to teams with winning records. I know we're feeling good... but that's not exactly us right now. 

trap games are for teams that no one expects to lose. 

no one would be shocked if we managed to screw this one up. it would be an under .500 team acting like an under .500 team.

I think this is going to be a helluva game. Both teams are fighting for their coach and a lot of pride. In our case, we're also fighting for a very distinct possibility of a miracle on the season. 

The two teams are remarkably similar in their weaknesses and strengths. They both want to be better teams than they are. And they'll field a roughly 50/50 assortment in the crowd on Sunday.

This could be a classic.

If we lose Wilks is good as gone. No top 5 pick and no winning record. I highly doubt we are overlooking the Steelers who we have only beat once. 

tepper isn't going to be happy with a loss against his former team.

the truth is we haven't won a game against them since '96. we're 1-6 against them all time. i think we're due one.

If it were any year it's this one and it would go along way with Tepper like you said. It's more of a circle your calendar game than a overlooked one.

It's a good glimpse of how well Wilks is. Tomlin is a SB winning coach just like Carroll. If he can KO both that's a good thing.

agreed. if wilks can pull this off and we blow them out, it would goa  long way in tepper's assessment of wilks. if we get embarrassed, wilks will for sure be looking for another job when the season is over.

it's not THE deciding factor in whether Wilkes gets the full time job, but it's definitely one that will carry more weight than others.

Last week felt like a trap game for Seattle. You could tell by the Vegas line that the "far superior" team wasn't getting as much love, even at home. 

This week it's pretty even, so I don't consider it a trap game. Panthers definitely have more momentum at this point in the season which would make you think they are the better team, but like others mentioned it's just a matchup of mediocre teams.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
