Fowler picks Panthers in an upset

Recommended Posts

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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
