CHFF: Cats hitting the NYG at the right time?

[Fireball77]

There may be nothing to it, but it's an interesting theory:

But here’s the most encouraging part for Carolina fans: the Panthers are rising rapidly – especially in their production on the ground – just as the Giants are showing weaknesses offensively.

As we noted Monday, the Giants have averaged just 94.3 YPG on the ground in their last three outings. The Panthers have averaged 187.0 YPG over the same three weeks – and two of their opponents are possible playoff teams (Atlanta, Tampa). Go back four weeks (to include the Lions), and the Panthers average 206.3 YPG on the ground.

good article

The running game is coming together as the OLine continues to gel. Hopefully, this trend continues and the Panthers continue to silence the critics.

The Big Uglies are really starting to form an excellent line.

Damn....I love it when a plan comes together.

As long as we clinch a playoff spot I am good. I do think it is ironic that we are catching NYG the same time (week 16) that the Giants played NE last year.

That game gave them the ins and outs of beating the Patriots and paid off in the Super Bowl.

Fox is pretty good at not losing to the same team twice in a season.

We win this weekend and TB loses. We should be fine.

Go Panthers

Man, over 200 yds on the ground the past 4 week....thats pretty damn impressive.

Stop it. We play Denver this week. People say the Panthers players should not look ahead everyone is doing the same thing. GEEZ

I think you have throw out the Lions game because lets face it everyone is having there way on the ground with them and to tell you the truth I don't know how much to look at Monday's game. It was just one week where it seemed everything went right for us. It was the best game I have watch in sometime but I think we need to hold up before we crown our running game. I hope and pray that this success continues but I'm not so sure it can. Eventually teams are going to come up with a way to slow it down and I haven't seen enough out of Jake lately to have to win it on his own.

Well it's not like we're going to have any effect on how the Panthers do this Sunday aside from showing up at the stadium and cheering them on...

[Alan Ford]

We shouldn't be talking about the Giants until we beat the Broncos. I don't like where this is going.

[Proudiddy]

Does anyone know how long Jacobs is supposed to be hurt? It would be nice to not have to deal with him... I'm not scared of facing him, I thinkk we'll f*ck them up regardless, just saying it would be one less thing to deal with.

What happened toTampa was having Kalil and Otah back and our receivers blocking very well. Add to that the fact that Williams and Stewart broke a number of tackles and that is the formula for a big running night on anyone. This was no fluke or a bad game by Tampa. We beat them in the trenches and wore them out on both sides of the ball. If we can play with that kind of intensity the rest of the way we should be able to play with anyone.

I agree..

But me likey the stats!
