Trap game

On a serious note, I think this Panthers team simply forgot how to lose.. We win against a Saints offense that had a 92% completion of offensive passes, come back down by 13 pts ag literally the hardest arena in all of sports to win at and  we then beat a pretty decent Eagles team by double digits after our QB throws three interceptions, all three of which resulted in pretty good field position for the Eagles btw.

I really think this team doesnt even know how to lose anymore. Not many teams can still win by double digits when you throw three picks.

I can't believe I'm saying this but...there's a lot of truth there. I think what it speaks to is the belief in the locker room. The atmosphere or mindset that Rivera has everyone believing. 

Leadership is not a tangible thing. We have it in spades throughout the staff and players. This is a special bunch. 

I think they remember the taste of losing soooo much that is the underlying fire but I'll give props to PU for pointing out the obvious resilience of this team.

Yep, it's the thread everybody loves to hate. 

But I woke up this morning and this was on my mind. Too much going "wrong" with Colts. And Panthers are on a "hot streak".  

Colts should be a good team this year, and they haven't performed.

I was a little irked by the fact that the guys were celebrating in the locker room after the Eagles victory.  I liked the somber Panthers attitude they had with mild celebrating after the Seahawks game.

Am I wrong?  God I hope so, but something just doesn't feel right to me about this matchup.

Ohh, and I am attending the game, which is the first game for me this season.  We are 6-0 when I watch the game from the couch.

 

 

I've been saying this since Sunday. Don't take them lightly. They aren't that bad. Vontae Davis is a solid CB who could easily shut down Ginn. I know that doesn't sound like much, but take away our number one and focus on Olsen we may b in trouble. I hope we keep running the ball down their throats though their lb's aren't a threat. On O though they can be dangerous if they get their poo together

I think our sheer physicality wins the day, honestly.  If the Eagles' dline couldn't handle the power run, the historically awful-against-power-run Colts' dline is in serious trouble.

And we actually celebrated the Seattle win like we had just won the Super Bowl, not sure what you're talking about. I think we'll be just fine.

I see your not an All-Pro member, and you should be FYI, it's worth $5 a month....anyway, in all pro, Jeremy painted quite a different picture in his "Locker Room Impressions" thread. I have attached a screenshot of the first two paragraphs below.  Hardly sounds like they celebrated like they "won the Super Bowl". I liked the teams "business as usual" mantra.  From the stuff I have seen, the Panthers had quite the celebration after the Philly game...it just concerns me that they are getting too confident. #negativenelly

There are no trap Monday Night Football games. 

That, plus this team is still feeling a lack of respect. They've got something to prove every week. 

The game history on Panthers vs. Colts is interesting in that we've beaten them 4 out of the 5 games played, and their win was in Charlotte. We won 3 games at Indy and 1 at Clemson, so even though we've dominated them, we've never beaten them in Charlotte. Time to fix that.

Their D is ranked...32nd.

Agree. 

This is the first time in a long time I've felt this way about the Panthers.

Many times before it felt like we "just got by". When we were behind in Seattle I honestly felt like somehow, someway we would still win...

why do you think the colts should be good? this feels like regression to the mean for a flawed team disguised by a shitty, shitty division and occasional hero ball from ty hilton and andrew luck 

they should be good because they got all the old big name free agents....at least according to many here
