If we beat the Bills we are at .500 going to Arizona. I wonder if the team will play pissed off, and play for revenge against the Cards. If we can get to 4-3, with a convincing win over Arizona, maybe, just maybe (I know wishful thinking) we will be rid of the funk we have been in sense that playoff game. I think if Jake can somehow pull a good not even great, but good performance, out of his a**, against the team that crushed him. He may regain his confidence. He has always been a streaky QB. It seems every year he has a few bad games in a row. (not this many but) If he starts playing well, I think we are back in it. The O has a lot of weapons, but without a leader that believes in himself, they are sh*t.

At the time of the Arizona game the Panthers could be 3-3. Not bad, not good but a good recovery. The true season actually starts there.....in Arizona. They will have had about a half season to get their poo together (Jakes troubles, D&O Lines) and it will show if they have. I would love to win that game but more importantly we need to have a solid showing to grow from. This game really could elevate us to a successful season or suck all the air out of us.

PS.....I'm really curious to see how Meeks handles the Cards passing attack. It should really show us what we have to look forward too.

Looking ahead, if we get to the second half of the season at .500 we're going to be in good shape. We should be able to take out the Dolphins and Falcons at home, we'll certainly blow out the Bucs, and the Jets on the road may be a breather with the QB hitting the rookie wall and Jenkins out.

I know some of you are pretty down on the team, but 8-4 is not unrealistic at all. 7-5 is downright reasonable. If we get to either place, then the last four games are going to define our entire year. And when we start those, that team will look nothing like what we've been seeing so far this year.

Fox's teams have always played well in November and December. This season is far from over.

The wild card is Delhomme.

His turn-overs can't become overcome against the better teams.

Its great if the defense does better, its wonderful if the run game works against real defenses; but, at the end of the day, if he, and the coaching staff does not do something to stop his interceptions, its just building blocks for next year and nothing more.

At this point though, I'm like everyone else, we've talked Delhomme to death, we have talked Fox to death, and the mysterious Mr. Peppers, nothing is going to change in 2009, might as well just enjoy the games for what they are and let it go.

Delhomme needs to find his mojo if we intend to CONTEND for anything.

At this point I am just looking for a winning record from this season, but history shows that we SUCK at being consistent.

Thats the only reason I want FOX gone if this season fails.

There is nO reason for us to have come out the 1st three games and be so damn terrible.

Good coaches have their teams ready, we were far from ready, and now we are playing catch up.

I would love to see us win out, but realistically, I would be content with our first back-to-back winning seasons at 9-7. Unless we solve our passing offense woes, we will have it rough the rest of the way. The D seems to have gotten better, but just like others have said, I will not be sure about that until we play the better teams on our schedule.

Quoted for Truth.

I could even see 9-4, or close to it. I think we can beat Buffalo, maybe Arizona, the Saints, because John Fox knows how to play the Saints and Sean Peyton. We can beat Atlanta, we were close to tying it up last time, but a few things got in our way. Miami could present a slight problem, but we can take on their run game. And the Jets may have fallen apart last week.

After that, we're looking at Tampa Bay in Carolina, that should definitely be a win, no excuses. Josh Freeman should be playing by that point. Then we have New England at Foxboro. This is the game that could define the latter half of our season. It's going to be cold there, and it's going to be hard to get in and out of there with a win.

Then we have Minnesota at home, and honestly, I don't think Minnesota is everything. AP might be out of gas at this point, as much as they run him. And we all know how Favre ended last season with the Jets.

Then we have New York. This week we will see who the real NYG is. If they are the team that destroyed all of those lesser, weaker teams. Or the team that got destroyed by NO.

And then we cap it off with the Saints. Who I honestly think we can beat. That's looking at a possible 11-5, 10-6. That's not a bad record.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By d-dave · Posted

      If Cam is done, he just needs to retire.  Even on that episode of the podcast, he said he would never play again, but he's not going to "retire."  OK.   I think it's stupid.  Cam Newton is the best player in Panthers history.  He made us relevant.  He was polarizing, but you can't deny that Cam changed the course for the Panthers.  He needs to have a sit down with Tepper, clear the air, and Cam needs to sign his retirement.  Then the Panthers make it one for the ages and make it a city wide celebration of everything Cam has done on and off the field.

      The retirement thing is just a convenient excuse from Tepper. I'm sure if the team was trying to bring him on officially he would do it in a heartbeat and the league wouldn't bat an eye at it. He's not getting any other calls and we know there's a direct line of communication. You telling me no other team has put up a photo of an active player who left? I have a hard time believing the league would flag a MVP display, literal team history, as tampering. Moving on from JR is clearly bull too when we're parading Luke and Smitty around. It's Cam. Tepper knows that if Cam is brought on in any capacity, as long as he looks athletic to the average fan there's going to pressure to put him in when we're struggling at QB. They've decided he's not worth that but I think is a huge mistake. The organization stands to lose more burning this bridge than he does.

      I've been here through it all my friend. So when I say I've seen how this turns out folks really should listen. But they won't. So I continue to be entertained by fair weather fans that talk down to me as if I don't know squat. That's fine. Their in for some painful reality checks.
