Official Panthers at Bears Predictions Thread

[Jeremy Igo]

Here it is ladies and gents, your first predictions thread of this wonderful new season. A season full of mystery. A season full of splendor. A magical season sure to delight the senses.

What are your predictions for this game?

Does Cam play?

Who gets the biggest offensive and defensive plays for the Panthers?

Score?

Will their be complaints about the final score?

[ncfan]

Cam plays 1 series

 

Kyle Allen and Grier split the rest of quarter 1, 2, and 3

Burns gets a sack

Samuel catches a long pass

 

I pray Cam doesnt play jist because, I fear for his life with Mack facing Williams or Little

 

24-17 Panthers

If he plays or just the 1 series?

I hope he doesnt because all it takes is 1 Kalil Mack shot and our season is in jeopardy 

 

I could see him however playing 1 series due to

1. New Center, gotta get reps with him

2. Still young WRs, who are starting that he needs to get rhythm with

I can't see Rivera putting Cam in for this game. There is literally no upside with a whole lot of down side.

No Cam this first game please

[Captroop]

No Cam. I'm thinking no Luke.

 

The first string D punishes the Bears O, and they barely manage to move the ball more than a first down or two. Allow no touchdowns until the 2nd team works its way in.

Allen gets first team reps. Grier gets one drive in the first half. Shows out in the second.

Gano misses his first field goal and this place literally immolates.

Hadn't thought of that. Yeah, probably no Luke too.

[ncfan]

Curious to see how much pt Moore and Samuel get too.

Both look to be the starters, and their backups are league vets (wright, Hogan, Smith) who wont be out there working much into the 1st preseason game.

[Seltzer]

I think the depth of this team shows up and we look better with the 2's and 3's than we have in recent years.

This year's team has more quality depth in most positions than we have had in quite a few years, and I think that will show well in the preseason including this game.

I wouldn't be surprised if we win most if not all the preseason games b/c of this

This is a good situation to be in, especially as the season progresses.

Rashad Ross gets the game ball

Same with Olsen as well. Wouldnt even dress him and risk something

Plus more pt for Ian Thomas

Picking scores in the pre-season is a total crapshoot.

These games (the first 3 especially) are decided by the 2nd and 3rd stringers, playing for a roster spot.  Anybody can fumble; anybody can run back a pick.

Though it's subject to change, Rivera's already said "all 4 QB's will play."  We'd all be shocked if Cam sees more than the first series.

All that said, I think our depth is better than it's been in many years, and better than the Bears'.

Panthers 24, Bears 13.
