Yea, more than likely we will come away with a win in Buffalo, thats all well and good BUT if we win on Sunday, the game against the Giants could have huge implications on our future and have a domino effect that could change this ball club in a drastic manner.

Yes I know your initial reaction will be its only week 3 and still 13 games left to play. But its bigger than that. We have beat teams like Buffalo before. Jacksonville in 2011, Raiders of last year etc. Sure you can argue the Bills are better than those teams but thats not the point. The point is if we are 1-1 heading into week 3 against the Giants, it is a must win game. So what does beating the Giants mean? Well for starters it means we have won two games in a row, when the games actually still matter and we did it against a top tier team like the Giants.

Doing this will put to rest the notion that A. Panthers cant beat good teams and B. The Panthers cant win when it matters and C. The Panthers will be abve .500 for the first time in years. Going 2-1 at the bye will be a HUGE step and that frankly is an understatement.

If we lose to the Giants it will A. Show that nothing has changed whatsoever, we beat the bad teams and get beat by the good ones. B. The same ole Panthers cant win the big ones when it matters and C. We will have a losing record at the bye 3 years in a row.

Sure we might get incredibly lucky and beat bad teams en route to a 9-7 record, but frankly, would we even deserve it? Then again, who knows. Maybe we are 1-2 at the bye then come back and go 12-1 to finish out the season and in that case this post will be rendered pointless.

Right now we have to beat the Bills and put us .500 going into Giants game........I'm betting the players are going play this game with a lot of heart. This was  Cam's melting point from last year. I'm betting he puts up #'s like he did against the Falcons and the team overall has dominant game.

If they lose to the bills the season is over IMO. If they can't beat Buffalo, who can they beat? If they lose they will be 0-3 at the bye.

This is a game they are expected to win. I'm already looking at the Giants game. They need to finally beat a team worth mentioning and even though the Giants may be 0-2 next week, it's still a good team.

I think 2-1 is a must at the bye week in order to think the post season is a realistic shot. Some of you may agree some may not just my opinion.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
