IF* we can win these next two games...

[chef17]

Depends on how we win. If we play good football, keep improving, and look good in all 3 phases then sure. If we play like we did against the jags, but get lucky because the next two just play worse then us then no.

[Razzy]

I expect that Cam will start to struggle more down the road as defenses adjust to him. Winning the next 2 gives us an outside shot at the playoffs.

[2jakefansinva]

Yes I meant in regards to his ability in general.

C Johnson

A Johnson

Fitz

Marshall

V Jax

Jennings

...

It is also starting to annoy me how he celebrates after every catch no matter how insignificant it is.

I actually love it.

[PhillyB]

how the hell does smitty celebrating annoy anyone aside from defensive backs who know that's his equivalent of popeye eating spinach. a fired up steve smith is nearly unstoppable.

and i say if we can take care of business against the bears in soldier field and then knock off the saints, we can easily stand toe-to-toe with anyone else on our schedule, the same way we did against the cards and packers. destiny will be in our hands.

Last years Panthers hung with the Saints in the dome. Clausen had them driving for the winning score until the final whistle.

If last years Panthers could play them close...this years Panthers can WIN.

[Snake]

Im still going with 6 wins but 7 or 8 may be possible.

[Happy Panther]

If we are 3-2 then we have a decent shot at the playoffs.

[hepcat]

If we are 3-2 then we have a decent shot at the playoffs.

We were 4-2 in 2007 and a 5 game losing streak followed.

[L-TownCat]

Just trying to see if we could win the next two games against relatively tough football teams, if our confidence level as fans would go up to the point where we could be optimistic without being scared. We will eventually get to that point, just wondering how soon...

I understand that we have to win the 2 games first, and I'm not guaranteeing playoffs either. Just curious.

Threads haven't been that good lately. Just wanted to poll our community.

Im not sure this team could do enough to enstill confidence with out fear. I dont know of any fan of any team that doesnt have that fear of the unknown feeling before the games.

With that said, If we get on a roll, Cam just knows how to keep that going. As a fan i can just watch and hope for the best.

[JawnyBlaze]

If we can win the next two, I can easily see us going 4-2 in the next 6 games putting us at 7-4: possibly lose two of these games - @ Atl, @ Det, Was, most likely will beat Ten, Min, and Ind. Then we just gotta win 2 of those tough last 5 games to go one over .500

It's a start.

[JawnyBlaze]

I could probably concede A and C Johnsons and Fitz and maybe VJax and possibly Jennings being better than Smitty at this point, but not Marshall...

[Happy Panther]

We were 4-2 in 2007 and a 5 game losing streak followed.

Well I don't think we are going 3-2 so its moo anyway.

[BeachBum]

IF that happend we would definitely have some momentum so anything would be possible.

[Camdemonium]

Smith is not a top 5 receiver anymore? He has lost a few steps for sure but he is getting older, but he def is still top 5 receiver stats don’t lie.

If stats don't lie then he made all of his numbers against the 28th and 29th ranked defenses in the NFL and had only one catch against a top 10 defense?

Really elite huh?

I actually love it.

Catching a slant pass then getting tackled immediately is not cause for celebration. I don't mind it on the big plays he makes, but every play?

Not my style and he's my favorite player in the NFL.

I could probably concede A and C Johnsons and Fitz and maybe VJax and possibly Jennings being better than Smitty at this point, but not Marshall...

Marshall is very good and very underrated. He's had Chad Henne throwing him the ball in a Henning offense the last years. Don't sleep on him.
