Seems he went 15-3 in the last 18 games picking against us. He is stepping out on a limb.

Because the best Second City alums have always been masters of improvisation, and the Panthers will have to do exactly the same thing in Chicago Sunday to come away with an upset victory.

There will be a moment or two that all hinges on improv -- what Cam Newton while being chased on the full run by Julius Peppers, or what Jay Cutler does when he sees a small window that might open for a 50-yard pass or might close for an interception.

I think these teams have similar talent levels, so a couple of snap decisions will make the difference.

Uncertain defense, weak secondary, unpredictable QB performance, strong linebacker core, devastated by injuries....just to name a few.

Oh definitely, I agree with you totally, just thought it was funny. The battle will be won up front for sure though.

It seems to me that every time a game is predicted to be close it isnt and when predicted to be a laugher well it isnt. So with that logic in place i see one of two things happening either we blow the doors off the bears or.... well i guess i just see one thing happening! :)

Besides last year when the Panthers were inept, when the Bears play the Panthers, it tends to be close games. But who doesn't remember some times where Steve Smith has torched their secondary. I expect to see that again, especially with a guy like Cam who can throw it down the entire damn field with a flick of the wrist.

Unfortunatley for you Dimbee, Cam had an average game last week so he'll be hungry. Olsen will be hungry. Rivera will be extra hungry.

C.Harris will be tweeting from the sideline and count Peppers in if he feels like it.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
