Opinions: Can this team beat Philly?

Not going to make a prediction, but the answer to the original question is: Yes.

This Panthers team can beat Philly.

Fact is the defense and offense played well enough for us to beat Wash.  Turnovers were the difference.  Plain and simple.

I think play calling, clock management, focus, and energy need to improve.  But...look how we played against Cincy after the ATL loss.  This team can learn from this performance and improve.

I don’t like our chances on the road.  Clearly, this team has way more focus at home.

Philly is well coached, but still trying to smooth out some rough areas.  A great team with some rough edges...just like the Panthers.  The team with better focus will win.

Philly has the edge coming off a win, having a few extra days to prepare, and playing at home.

this game now feels like the pats game last year where noone gives a chance and we go in there and open a can of whoop ass on them and gets the w.

My Score Panthers 34 Eagles 13

Defense finally shows up and sacks weintz 6 times

Reid gets an int.

Jackson gets a pick 6.

Cam and mccaffrey runs all over the philly D.

I respect your opinion, but talk about over-confidence

Our D at that point last season > Our D heading into this game

Playing in Philly isn't easy. Eagles may be heating up.  Don't know what the hell we are doing besides shatting the bed at the worst times. Can they beat the Eagles???...be honest 

The panthers that played last week?  Nope.  Last year, game 3, we lost to the Saints 34-13.  The Saints were 0-2.  The next week we went to Foxborough and beat the pats (who later, again, went to the superbowl).  We can beat the Eagles.  Not if we scheme the same, or make the same fuging mistakes as last week.

Well—- I just think about Colonel Klink and Brett Favre,.. how Minni was real stiff in the beginning squeezed out some games they should have lost... 

until Klink loosened up and gave Brett the football instead of driving the offense through Adrian Peterson— they should have beaten the Saints and would have beat the daylights out of the Colts,..

the point is, maybe this is the week after the debacles last week that Rivera allows Norv to drive the offense through Cam instead of through CMac,...

or not and Philly kills us,.. Ron is hopefully fired Monday morning and we can win the suck bowl the rest of the year for best picks and coach,..

As I said during the Skins game our zone is as loose as a wizards sleeve. Wentz has no trouble throwing into tight coverage, let alone our shitshow. I'll be stunned if we beat the Eagles.

Poe's ass is now the size of a small moon, and KK and Luke don't look worthy of their contracts. Part of the problem is that we had to use the draft to restock at WR and DB, rather than loading the d-line with pass rushers. Throw in a fortune to the Kalil brothers and you've got a hot mess.

The positive side? The defense is more confused than bad, so as the confusion dies down the play will improve. Samuel, DJ, CMC, Cam, and Olsen will all continue to improve as the season moves along barring injury. We finally have speed on offense.
