Week 2 could swing our season.

Week 1- I think we have a fair chance at winning this one and coming back home with a 1-0 record.

Week 2- Do you know how this one game could make our season. I think our chances of winning this game is slim, but if we did... Knocking off the defending champs at home could really give our guys confidence.

Also if we lose 45-0, that would probably cause the reverse effect..

We have been known at times to win at home, hopefully this year is the same.

We beat the packers last time. Really boils down to how our QB plays and how our secondary defends 5 wide packages.

I honestly think we will lose this game. I hope people do not misinterpret this and think I'm saying we will win.. I'm just looking at how big of a momentum boost this would be if we did win.

I think we have a chance to win against Green bay, if only because I think everyone will be underestimating us at the outset of the season. We stunk it up last year, and until we come out and show something different, I believe a lot of teams will pencil in a "W" when they see us on the schedule. But I also believe this ain't the same old John Fox Panthers they've gotten used to over the last few years. I believe we're gonna surprise some folks. Green Bay might be one of them.

Packers have started out slow past 2 years. They lost to the Deadskins and Miami early last year. Its the NFL so anyone can win especially at home. Still we would need something close to a miracle, Green Bay is LOADED young and had almost zero turnover.

I don't see it either, but, the Packers won't be as good as they were last year. No Cullen Jenkins is really going to hurt, and losing Brandon Jackson, their third-down back, isn't going to help their cause, either.

I think the Packers will be good, but definitely not the best team in the NFC.

Ive been eyeballin that game since the schedule got released... A victory is possible, not probable, but definately possible. They are not the team they were last season and we damn sure arent either. The OP has a very valid point, a win on that day would do great things for the players...

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
