If we lose to the Redskins...

What will you say? What does that say about the team?

Besides the Arizona game (which was Cam's first game) and the Jacksonville game (which the Panthers won), the Redskins are a team the Panthers SHOULD beat. Losing to them is a bad loss. It's at home, the Redskins have just made a change at QB, and they don't have a stud RB to gash the Panthers porous run defense. They are the first team besides those first two teams mentioned that didn't have a first round bye, appear in the NFC Championship game, or win the Superbowl in the last 2 seasons.

If the Panthers lose, it makes me very skeptical that any progress has been made this year. Cam Newton is a rookie but he has shown he has the talent and poise to be great. Every other team they lost to, the Panthers had no business beating at this point. Teams that are far more experienced and have had recent success. This game should mark the turning point - that the Panthers can beat teams they are supposed to beat. It took a monsoon, but they barely rose to the challenge against Jacksonville. Let's see what they can do this week against a very beatable Washington Redskins team.

Last time I said "If we lose to the Redskins.." it was followed by "I will not wear any more Carolina gear the rest of the season". That was 2001, week 6 IIRC... I still wore a hat that just had the blue 'C' from the name logo the rest of that season. I could/would not stand by my defeatist attitude... I dont talk like that anymore...

Washington is no slouch team. They may actually be "alot" better with Beck instead of Rex Grosman. In addition their defense is good to very good. They are a 3-4 and last time Cam played a 3-4 he threw 3 picks(Not in garbage time I might add). Orrapopo and Kerrigan are monsters on the outside edges. Deangelo Hall is an a-hole but he will pick you and take it to the house. Plus he has familiarity with Steve Smith. Torrain and Hightower are good backs.

Most importantly "WE CAN'T STOP ANYONE FROM RUNNING ON US". Running backs in a contract year are dancing with jubilation if we are on the schedule right now. Redskins are happy to put the game into the hands of the Defense and running game. Unless we have worked on something this week to at least slow down opposing run defenses we are in trouble for the remainder of the year. Especially with Adrian "F*$&(*& *" Peterson the next week. He might have 400 yards rushing in a game.

I'll be like that thru Sunday, then I'll get over it and be looking forward to the next week.

Washington has a decent running game and pretty good defense, this isn't really a should win for us.

I'm not going to make any bold statements either way... I enjoy the Panthers and want them to win, but I'm not going to make 50 threads on here next week talking about how bad we suck/Rivera should be fired/Special Teams is horrible/etc/etc/etc... that's what the rest of you will do. :D

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
