Panthers need to take a good long look at the Colts/49ers game because that was basically the blueprint to beating them. Also, Cam can't go acting like a hero and forcing throws. Two interceptions against a team like the Niners and we lose. Cam just needs to manage the game this time

 

The 49ers abandoned the running game in that one. I think Gore averaged about 8 yards a carry midway through the 2nd quarter, and he didn't get the ball but like one more time. So I don't really think that strategy will work for the Panthers. Doing what Seattle did is a better idea (8 in the box the whole game).

Im sorry but as much as I believe in this team and I do still think we go 10-6. The 49ers will rape us. Our pass rush has been disappointing, they have WAY too many weapons. Boldin, Manningham, Gore, Davis, Crabtree. This is a mobile QB which we struggle mightly with. Good D from the line to the safety. I predict a score of something like 24-7 9ers. Trust me, I try hard as hell to make a case on how we win and I just cant. I cant think of one facet we have the edge.

 

lol. 

 

You realize Crabtree is injured, and Manningham just got back from a serious knee injury and isn't even activated yet, right?

It would be silly not to recognize that the niners have a distinct coaching advantage.  That being said, Thomas Davis = QB spy like the days when Vick (sorry, Ron Mexico) could scramble more than once without pulling a hamstring.  Do that and I like our chances just fine.

Byes work many ways..... You get healthy but you also can get rusty and lose momentuem. Both teams IMO get there bye when at highs....

Teams pretty much are what they are at this point.....outside of getting healthy it mainly comes down to having the bodies to stop what you know what other teams want to do

 

That may be true, but regardless of them coming off a bye or not... we are playing 2 high quality teams, and I'd still be happy with 1 win out of these 2 games.  Preferably on Monday night football, because I will be at that game. :)

Both teams are coming in on long win streaks (SF 5, Car 4).  I am not sure what to expect.  I would not bet on this game.

 

I am hoping Cam's game vs. Atlanta (he regressed a bit) will serve as an adjustment/learning tool.  He will not be allowed to miss so many open WRs.  In turn, Shula needs to open the playbook a bit more than he did yesterday.

Back in the day, I would take the Panthers and the 6 points. Glad I don't do that stuff any more. Cuz this game scares me.

I hear what you are saying about our Offense. But the one thing this team does well, Self Evaluation. They will hit the film room, find our what they do well, or badly, make a few tweaks, and get back at it.

I really do expect our Offense to get back on track this week. I do feel we can win this game. We play Panther football, and we really can spank them. Everything we do well, works against them. We contain and collapse the pocket, Kaep hates being pressured. We can stop the run with just our front 7, SF likes to take advantage of mismatches, our alignment does not show mismatches.

I am thinking we win, but it is more because I don't see our Offense playing badly 2 weeks in a row.

We did beat SD, and lost to the Hawks when our Offense was still trying to find itself. The Cards game was a clusterfug of a game. And the last time we were in SF? Hellz, I went back to check, and went all the way back to 07, and we hadn't played at the 9ers. So that one is irrelevant.

We play well, and we can win. We can play well, and still lose. Tough fugging game.

I think our Defense travels well. So I am not as worried over that aspect.

How well does Carolina play on the West Coast (Arizona, San Diego, SF and Seattle)?

 

I'm going to ignore all the other terrible games and focus in on that one San Diego game.

 

Therefore I'm going to go with a Cam to Olsen TD in the last play of the game. Obviously winning it.

I don't think we match up well against the 49ers. Colin K is a mobile QB who can evade the pass rush (which let's face it didn't look great against the Falcons and got 1 sack when we all expected them to get 4 or 5). They have a powerful and experienced running back in Gore who gets better as the game goes on. They have a decent O-line and a solid opportunistic D.

They are the best team we will have faced this season so far (since week 1). We are traveling through 3 time zones to a stadium we haven't played in in years.

We do pretty well against the run, but that is against teams that usually have to abandon the run in the second half because they are down by 15 points. SF will likely not be in that position and will pound the rock for 4 quarters. They have a great TE who can help them in possession and can be dynamic down the field. If we miss tackles, V. Davis will eat us alive.

I don't see this game shaping up as a win. I wouldn't put a dime on any Panthers game because that is some serious bad juju. But for those out there saying we win the match-ups in this game...I don't see it and I don't think we will keep this game within a touchdown. Sorry.

I pretty much agree with this assessment.

Even though I would love a w this weekend, I don't think we get it. Doesn't mean we aren't a decent team, just hard traveling across the country to play.

With that said, go panthers.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
