Wonder if Bradford remembers the last time he came to Carolina?  We really fuged him up.  

Anyway, Vikings look solid on D.  Their O-line can't block for poo though.  I like our chances at home against one dimensional offenses led by Sam Bradford.  

I would feel better with AP back there. I don't trust Bradford despite his good game. It's only one game.

That's very likely. Our Oline is a major problem. Our Qbs get touched and touched too often. Our CB play is solid. Not great not bad. Solid. Rhodes can be a great cb one game and then give up several catches the next. The key is our Dline. If they can close the deal with their rushes, we have a decent chance. Be aware that we have been looking like a turnover machine on defense this season. 4 fumbles and an Int last game. a pick 6 and fumble for a td the game prior. 

We are extremely familiar with Captain around here.  And IMO the only person he can check on our offense is Philly Brown.  That's interesting about your turnovers.  Sounds A LOT like us; we dominated takeaways last year by a large margin.  It appears y'all are enjoying early success in that regard this year.  The Panthers have picked up right where we left off from last year.  So it will be interesting to see who can protect the ball:  MVP, Cam Newton, or the new prince, Sam Bradford?  My bets on Cam there for a laundry list of reasons.  

As for your rushes, it COULD work.  Our OC, Dammit Shula, doesn't know how to shift to neutral at the light and call dink and dunk plays to break pressure.  But that's only if you can get consistent pressure.  Our OL is up to the task [see Denver], but lacks consistency.  I just don't think this is a defined difference-maker anyway, but it's something to keep an eye on, for sure.

Yea, of course.  AP is sick, but they still weren't blocking for him either.  And you're right, the problem with Bradford, beyond injury of course, is his consistency.  If you guys can't run the ball it could get ugly.  Really depends on if the Panther offense has gotten the TOs out of their system though.

It all depends on if Rhodes plays. 
I can see them putting him on KB like we did Calvin Johnson. Use LB help underneath him and put old man Newman on Ginn. You guys have size for a clear mismatch and worst of all, play on jump balls seem to be a problem for us. 

My vikes are prone to one or two games that get out of hand every season (Seattle and Green Bay last season). However, I am hoping that we play mistake free ball this week and shock the world. Right now I give it 60/40 Panthers.

Yes but I liken AP to Shaq. The attention he forces in defense has an huge impact even if he is struggling. He opens up the middle of the field and helps his Wrs only have to beat the man on them. With him in the game 9 out of ten plays your face a high safety defense of some sort. Remove him from the lineup and now DCs can play 7 at the line and help on who ever they want. Your defense is now allowed to be more exotic.

I personally think some of you guys are giving Vikesfan too hard of a time...  he's on here talking in enemy territory about his team with good football analysis and no attitude... chill tf out.

 

Good analysis @Vikesfan...  I think MN will be a pretty tough game with or without AP.  Panthers needs to stop with the silly mistakes, we got away with way too many Sunday.

 

I would expound on our OL a little, but I'm not really the one to do it.   One question I have myself is how is Trai Turner?  I know he was out some vs the 49ers and Daryl Williams played RG for at least a bit.

He was back in a few plays later, and played the remainder of the game, so it shouldn't be anything to worry about too much.

Thanks @Darth Biscuit. I'm not trying to be a jerk
