Sound Off! Official Rams at Panthers Predictions Thread

[Cdw]

17-10 Panthers victory secured in the final 2 minutes with a clutch stop by our D

[SuperCamDaGawd]

Panthers win 38-14.

 

Defense shows up and puts the league on notice with sacks, great coverage, and a few ints. 

 

The offense looks like a well oiled machine. 

CMC picking back up from where he left off last season with 80 yards rushing and 65 receiving yards. 

I think Curtco shocks the world with, prepare yourself here, 160+ receiving yards and 2 TDs. I also think he gets 6 catches. 

DJ and Olsen combine for 7 catches, 100 yards, and 2 TDs. 

Cam comes out the gate with it. 350+ passing yards and 35 rushing yards 4TDs. The early MVP game

Panthers  Roll ..   31 - 15

Offense if methodical , long drives,  completely mixing things up. 
Cam throws to 7 different receivers,,  CMC gets 170 total yards.

Rams are on their heels all day with the Panther Defense looking like daze of old..

Ehh feeling like a close game that Panthers lose. If they win it wont be a blow out either.

Remember Rams d shut Brady down(who just had threw 500 plus in sb year before and torched chiefs d a month before)

And this Panthers d had a great game vs payton/Brees high powered offense later in the year.(depending if they show up to full potential(smh) and chemistry with new players/3-4 hybrid )

So yeah this is a closer game than people realize imo. 

Again this year, I dont think the offense is going to be lights out unless the oline is better than expected(Williams/left guard(?)/paradis are all ???). Also is Cam is fully healed to throw deep accurately CONSISTENTLY.(He has had one the most accurate,if not the best,  deep balls when healthy)

Also Cam will have to have better pocket awareness and know when to throw the ball away. If he doesn't make quick decisions I can see an 8 sack type of game(Vikings 2016 smh) with him losing big yards trying to scramble and make something happen. Remember Wade Phillips...that's all that needs to be said.

Ron has no excuse not to have this team prepared. If they come out in this sluggish mode all hell needs to break lose.

Won't be particularly pretty, but Slye kicks a 40 yarder as time expires.

If we are playing defense 30 yards off there receivers again this year , come Monday morning the Huddle will be in full meltdown.

Which I already predicted after Bills preseason game they will do

On paper the DL looks good. It would be a waste if they don't dominate or can't cause the ball is coming out so fast due to the soft zone

[nogoodbum]

All around ugly game, much like last season's opener Panthers 17-14

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Lol wtf is with all these big win predictions for the Panthers? Y’all are delusional. 

Rams win 31-16 

Cam gets sacked 3 times in the first 2 drives and we go down 10-0 quickly then start to push a little too much, throw a pick or two and are down 24-6 at halftime.

Hopefully I’m completely wrong but our lines look like garbage thus far and they are gonna run all over us.

[Achilles]

Until they prove otherwise, I’m going to expect the same pattern to continue that we saw all last season.  Sure, we were 6-2 after 8 games, but honestly, we should have been 4-4 or worse.

Panthers don’t have focus early and struggle to get back the momentum.  Rams might not come out like gang busters, but my expectation is that they will ultimately show more discipline and proficiency.

Can the Panthers come out strong at home in week 1?  There are so many question marks, but the ones surrounding #1 are the most concerning.  Not so much his ankle or shoulder.  I’m concerned about focus, energy, and competence.  Plus, O-line concerns, D-line concerns, Safety, WR.  We looked TERRIBLE in pre-season.

The final score will make it look like a closer game than it is in actuality.

Patterns tend to hold...

For the love of cheezus, I’m ready for the Cats to give a butt whooping or take one just to get the first game in the books.

[CRA]

To win this game we have to have a balanced offense.  I personally think Talib is the key and there will be plays we can make downfield on him.

While still a very solid CB overall...he simply has a type WR that he is vulnerable against.   Talib the past few years has struggled with the smaller and quick WRs.   We thankfully have 2 that fit that mold. 

 Biggest challenge will be if they can not get caught up in his games.  He will want to get physical and bring the bullpoo.  Hell, he couldn’t even cover Philly Brown....but he did take him out.
