TEams that can't afford to go 0-2!

[Happy Panther]

This is from week 1 last year.

Sound familiar??

Carolina Panthers (at 1-0 Atlanta Falcons):

Jake Delhomme's second meltdown in as many games that count (the other being last January's playoff loss to Arizona) has the Panthers reeling. He will remain their starting quarterback, but his five turnovers (four interceptions and a fumble) against the Philadelphia Eagles have prompted fans to call for him to be replaced. The Panthers signed A.J. Feeley to replace injured Josh McCown, and perhaps he wouldn't do any worse. However, their problems go beyond quarterback. They often had no answers for the Eagles' aggressive blitzing. And things won't get a whole lot easier against the Falcons, who were able to generate a great deal of pressure on Chad Pennington last week and force the Miami Dolphins' quarterback into uncharacteristic mistakes. For the sake of John Fox's job security and the Panthers' survival in the ultra-tough NFC South, the Panthers need a win.

:ciappa:

Also around 14% of teams that go 0-2 make the playoffs.

Assuming all the crappy looking teams stay crappy and the beastly teams keep beastin' I think we could get to 11-5 alright.

For the sake of this argument we are a beastly team that looked crappy. Don't you dare find fault with that logic or you're ghey.

We will not go 0-2. My son is coming to the game, and he is the good luck charm. Neither the Panthers nor Wake Forest has ever lost a game he attended.

[Happy Panther]

I don't think we will either. Cincinnati will be the test I think. Especially with our secondary play

Really curious as to what the line will be for Sunday though

I usually agree with everything you say, but not a chance in you know where, will we go 11-5 this year. Lack of commitment to the running game, the horrific passing game that was in week 1. And the Captain getting his butt whooped by Hakeem Nicks all game was probably enough to get him benched. Why wasnt Gamble or Marshall on him? Is one of them hurt?

No team can afford to go 0-2 unless Peyton Manning is on your team.

Wow

I'm not surprised. Bucs coming off a win and Panthers seem to lay down (Gross) against the Giants late in the game. But the naps are over. Panthers will destroy the Bucs.

I would think so. I'm tempted to throw some $$ on this one.

I've already put money down on this game. VERY confident that we'll win this game.

Sounds like someone should have season tickets.
