What are the chances we get a "pretty" win on Sunday?

I am expecting this game to be a comeback victory for carolina as they will take them lightly without drew brees and pay for it in the first half.

2014/12/07 Carolina Panthers  41  -  New Orleans Saints  10 

REPEAT!

And that was in New Orleans with Jimmy Graham and a healthy Drew Brees

[Jangler]

Id like to say we completely blow the taints...out of the NFL. But we don't have that killer instinct yet, maybe this will be the game where it starts? This game will end their season, and it would be really nice to kick their asses in the process.

[GRWatcher]

Any game where we score 1 more point than the other team is a pretty win to me. I'm not picky & I don't write for national sports media. :D

[KSpan]

Except the last time the Panthers played the Saints. 

Or the Falcons.

I honestly don't care how a win looks.

It's a win, bottom line.

[Goondal]

I doubt that we will win in a fashion that most consider pretty.  Any win is pretty to me though.  Something like 16-7 sounds about right

[Ivan The Awesome]

31-0

 

Yeah, this defense can shut down that offense. Especially with cancer face being hurt. 

[Peppers90 NC]

last game was only 'ugle' because of all the penalties, not from how we ran the offense

[The Huddler]

Got damn it KB we need and miss you

I'll take 16 ugly wins thank you very much, then 3 more

Since I know some won't bother to click on the link above, here's the graph of yards per play for 2015 to date compared to prior Panthers seasons.   From here:

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/teams/364/carolina-panthers/#Yards per Play$SeasonMax=9999&SeasonMin=1990

The final point is for 2015, currently a yards per play average of 4.38 yards / play.  Ouch.

I'd be shocked if that average doesn't improve after this weekend.

Blowouts dont always show up on the scoreboard.   If we hold the saints to abysmal totals in yardage, first down, etc i and we double the TOP on them and put up at least 20 pts i would consider it a blowout.  High point totals arent the only meter for a blowout.

I'd be shocked if that average doesn't improve after this weekend.

Agreed.  It's not really fair comparing the first two games of the season with an entire season.  Our offense seems to take some time to get going, both in individual games, and in the season - more so than ever this year perhaps given the situation at WR with KB out.
