Underdogs

[The Lobo]

Right now we are 2.5 underdogs to Tampa, fair or nah? 

[Panthers8969]

recency bias would say so

 

 

regardless, man does this team play better as the underdogs 

[jfra78]

yeah, never upset about being underdog.  It used to bother me years ago and wanted more national respect.  Now, I like flying under the radar, this team(no matter who the coach is) seems to play better in this role.

That’s how I felt about it as well. Panthers have always thrives off underdog mentality

Who knows which of the bi polar Panthers teams will show up

We could win by 20 or lose by 10.  Would not put money on either

Every team does. Last month the nfl as a whole won at 68% when they were the dogs.

NFL lines aren't made to accurately predict scores; they're made to get people to bet. 

People believe in pointless underdog mythos because humans are stupid, superstitious creatures that like to explain things to add meaning and structure to an otherwise pointless, chaotic life. 

stop being stupid.

Not where I want us to be. Is love for us to play at a high level consistently, year after year. Burr that will take far more than we have right now...

You misspelled "generous."

[Salisburysean98]

Why should we be favored to win against anyone except maybe Miami by 1. Even that might be a Chicago situation if their defense truly shows up.

Sure we had a bad game, but we have beat some good teams.

sometimes you have bad days...

we still have a strong D overall.  Hence why we are 4-3 despite playing horrible collectively.    Heck, we played horrible against the best team in the NFC and had 2 shots to win at the end. 

to me, this is the Patriot game all over again.  No reason we can't put up more points on Tampa than they put up on us. 

Carolina wins this week and improves to 5-3
