You know, on paper, the Packers are a 1000 times what the Panthers are; but, the game isn't played on paper.

I am not one given to hyperbole, but, I feel like this could be an upset, a huge upset.

Panthers 31, Green Bay 28.

Panthers may never win another game this year; but, I just have a feeling about this...and yes, it is insanity.

The crowd, the Panthers crowd not the Packers crowd will be very into this game and maybe the combination of that energy and the energy with Cam will be enough to bring out the best in this team.

The one thing it is absolutely going to require is for that running game to get going and stay going....that 3-4 is vunerable to screens, draws, and TEs...we need that O line to really step it up.

The longer the Panthers are on the field, Rogers isn't, and neither are his 10,000 receivers.

Hey, Sunday is suppose to be a beautiful, sunny, 75 degree soon to be fall day, it's the home opener, why not dream a little.

I couldn't agree more. It would be foolish not to respect Green Bay. And they are arguably a better team and defending Superbowl Champions. But it's just as foolish to believe they can't be beat. If there's one thing I can say about the NFL is that the safest bet is usually the worst bet year after year, and the one thing that has consistently beaten the expected, is the unexpected.

And if there's one thing I can say about the start of this season, is that it is completely unexpected, unconventional, unprecedented and whole bunch of other words beginning with "un".

The NFC south is winless after the first week. Cam Newton broke rookie records, and that's a Panther's player we are talking about. And the Panthers are at the top of their division with an 0-1 record. People are also excited about the loss, and no one seems to care too much about the fact that we did lose the game, myself included.

In fact fans are thrilled. The players are thrilled. Even the media is thrilled. For the first time in a long time, it really does appear as if we, the Carolina Panthers are shaking things up, even in our losses.

I like the vibe and feeling I'm getting. I don't feel we're going into this game in Green Bay, either as fans or as a team on a down note after a loss. It seems as if we're going in it EXCITED and PUMPED UP! It feels more like we won yesterday's game.

And I can't remember ever feeling this way after a loss. But I do. Who the heck would have ever believed that?

      Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable.

      It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
