Except us to come out strong

[juliosantos]

I already know we are going to come out on fire . We are a good team when we come out strong . Rivera sucks as a head coach but when his job is on the line we always play good . This game defines the season . if we lose we are finito , but if we win we have a chance to build a strong momentum that can give us at least a fight chance in beating the aints in one of the games . This will show the true carolina panthers these next couple weeks . From a team that was 6 and 3 and ready to the playoffs to a team that fell off and now it's the true challange win or end the season . As much as I want rivera gone I'll never root for my team to lose . 

We will see what we are made of and the play offs start Sunday . Thou shall not lose . Xx3 #704

...I'll except it...

lol this was supposed to happen 3 weeks ago and last week defined the season, but ok.

I’m not sure beating the Buccs will tell us anything about this team and losing will tell us what we already know.

Yep all teams except the panthers come out strong 

[rayzor]

With few exceptions, when we do come out strong, we tap the brakes and rely on our stud (yes...week bit of sarcasm there) to protect the lead only to have the team we're playing take advantage of the way the league has made it easy to score a lot in a short time and either push us for the lead or take it from us.

I expect that to continue with Rivera.

Well, if we come out as "strong" as we thought we would against the Lions and Shithawks, I expect to see another L on Sunday....

This team isn’t even capable of running out of the tunnel strong

We came out strong against both Seattle and Detroit.   Didn't help much.

Coming out strong isn’t what I’m worried about. That third quarter has been the worst this year. Literally the worst in the league in scoring  I believe. 

Anyway, I agree with your post. We show some promise and play well this game giving us some hope. (For at least another week)

Ron makes that money in December. His teams are absolutely at their best this time of year. I’m optimistic.

we could beat the bucs and the browns 42-0 and nobody would care about us blowing out bad teams. 

The real test will be that first Saints game on Monday night. We're in business if we win that one.

All the wins are crucial. Nobody should care about anything but collecting wins. Ugly, or otherwise.
