We were supposed to win.

What an awesome game. Finally, the Panther's played like a complete team. Offense lit it up and scored points, defense had some takeaways and played smart football. Couldn't really ask for more in this game. Excellent job.

What really made me happy is that we were supposed to win, and we didn't let the game slip away. Nothing is worse than losing to a team that, realistically, we should beat. The other losses this season were against good teams, excellent teams. So at 2-5, I am actually impressed given the circumstances.

Looking ahead at Minnesota, I wouldn't call this game one we are supposed to win. But we definitely have a shot. If the defense holds AP to 1 touchdown and less than 75 yards, pick off Ponder at least once, the offense should be able to outscore the Vikings.

Good game, looking forward to next week!

I doubt we hold Peterson to less than 100-125 yards, but I say we put up enough points where they have to start throwing more. That said, Ponder looked pretty good yesterday.

What in the world is your definition of "pretty good?"

The Vikings are blowing up. Berrian is about to get kicked off the team, and Peterson left yesterday's game with an ankle injury. Their corners are abysmal and the Panthers are going to go off against them.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
