(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.

      I’m actually fine with our TE group. I would like to see us upgrade at ILB, maybe safety and CB.   I think we are good at WR. I thought Corley could have been a good player but I guess he wasn’t doing good at all.   I came across this article about Corley from today. I know sometimes a change of scenery can really help turn around a player and we’ve seen plenty of players from the jets end up being good other places. I just don’t know if Corley is that guy.   https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/jets-insider-shares-embarrassing-fact-about-malachi-corleys-release-2119816

      Renfrow released

      I was really rooting for him after seeing that video about his struggles. I always thought he was a solid and underrated player.   I thought for sure he would have made the team after hearing all the hype and how he made that overthrown catch by Plummer behind the line and still was able to gain a yard or two off it. Plummer really overthrew him each time yet he was able to still not lose yards. I think he still could play in the nfl. I think he may need a few months to get into top form though. Hopefully he will get signed to another team.
