Panthers at Patriots - The positive thread...

[Jeremy Igo]

Panthers have their backs to the wall. 

Unlike last week, Cam Newton is not listed on the injury report. Cannot underscore enough how important that is. 

CMC and Stewart totally healthy against one of the worst run defenses in the league. 

We dodged a bullet with Kelvin Benjamin, he 100% and will start. Devin Funchess has actually looked decent so far this year. 

Shepard was open all day last Sunday, something I am sure was pointed out to Cam in the film room. 

 

On defense,  Worley is out.. This may end up being a blessing in disguise if Seymour can come in and improve the play on that side of the field. 

 

Throw in the fact that they met with team ownership this week and appear to feel better about the whole situation and perhaps the Carolina Panthers can come out and play like we know they can.

This is no place for rational thought and positivity

Honestly, I will be really optimistic if we can keep it to a one-score game in Foxborough.  I do think we can win this game, and we have the type of team that should (similar to KC).  

But if we can go on the road and show some improvement on Offense and normal defense, then that would make me feel a lot better.

Well, the great thing about low expectations is that if we do ANYTHING great against NE I'll be super happy! Although a win would help.

How much did Can throw in practice?

We need to play smash mouth turnover free football. Smack them in the mouth on both sides of the ball and try to win this game 20-17.

Stating the obvious: run and run some more. Eat clock. Keep Brady on the sideline.

nah if the panthers do in fact win i'll just pretend like i was a believer all along

[Burnout189]

If it's a close game I'll be super stoked for that fact alone.

If the Panthers D can force Brady to make some mistakes, it’ll be a game. On the final drive against the Texans last week, Brady was strip-sacked (recovered by the Pats) and almost threw an INT (dropped by the Texans DB). The Panthers must capitalize on mistakes like that to have any chance at a win. And also not make any mistakes themselves.

And let's see if the defense can actually get a take away this week and set us up with a short field.
