[teeray]

Hope he gets better soon because he is special, but I am not going to act like I am not relieved we don't have to face him

[teeray]

i wanna see dalton on his back, legs up in the air and taking a pounding by our d.... all day long.

Wasn't sure where this was going at first

[Chaos]

I wouldn't be counting a win yet. If you are, you must be new to Panthers fandom.

I'm sure we wouldn't hear "I wanna play them at their full strength" comments if we were playing our Superbowl opponent

Never like to see players injured but i wont be losing sleep over this....

that helps..... our defense.  our offense still has to perform.  hopefully we continue to go up after last weeks game.  the bears defense isn't even in the same stratosphere as the bengals.

[Montsta]

Not a single team has beaten us at full strength this year so I really don't give a fug what percent of full strength other teams are at.

A win is a win.

Go look at NFCCG history and let me know if it says Seattle beat Carolina in 2005/06. I think it does. What it doesn't mention, and rightfully so because no one gives a poo, is that we were on like our 8th string RB in that game.

Only thing that matters is the W. Who played or who didn't matters little.

Well golly gee, that's the pits right there, AJ. I was hoping you could make it, man.

**this only helps the panthers and my fantasy team**

[TheNewStandard]

The bengals are pretty balanced on both sides of the ball. Not sure which part of their offensive attack is stronger...ground vs air? All I know is that our rush defense has gotten gaffed incessantly and that makes the home team bigger favorites than if they were more dependent on their passing attack.

Stop the run and this could be a big win for the panthers. That's the only way I see the panthers coming away with a victory. Jmo

If we lose this Sunday, the s--tstorm on here is going to be of nuclear proportions.

3-3 and division leaders at worst, with all losses against AFC teams so with tiebreakers as well. I truly feel we should win this game now. 4-2. Choo choo!!!

It's hard for me to be optimistic given that we've already crapped the bed against two AFC North teams that likely aren't as good as the Bengals.

 

If we win, great.  If we lose but play well, bad but okay. 

 

We get blown out again?  This place will be unreadable.

I wish Boomer was playing.
