(The Associated Press) The Carolina Panthers will be without top receiver Steve Smith and starting safety Sherrod Martin against Chicago because of injuries.p/Smith hasn't practiced since spraining his left ankle in Sunday's loss to New Orleans and has been in a protective boot this week. Martin has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion against the Saints.

So, here's what we'll be watching Sunday afternoon...

Neither team has a starting caliber QB

Neither team has an O-line worth crap

Carolina does not have any WRs

Chicago does have a distinct special teams advantage

Carolina has a distinct running game advantage (if they use it)

My guess: whichever team #$&@s up less will win.

ever seen anyone try to look upset but are really just relieved?

now you have.

this can be viewed as a win-win for the panthers and smitty.

One less year of wear on him, since this season is just a re-building year. allows his QB to get his head into the game. Also allows for the panthers to see what they have in all these young guys and hope someone can emerge with the extra targets and attention they will receive with smtty on the sidelines.

maybe next season we can come out of all this with a legit #2 and #3 guy to finally take some pressure off smith, and have a QB that is able to get him the ball in stride so he can make plays.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
