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

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
