Do the Panthers have a prayer on Sunday?

[TheCasillas]

Any given Sunday

If they got some Chargers-game style turnover luck and actually scored touchdowns off of those turnovers, maybe. But we all know that's probably not happening.

Defense plays out of their minds and we win with a last minute fg. 3 TFLs for Brown, Djax and Franklin w ints, Chinn with 12 tackles, and Tre Boston also makes a tackle.

Chinn didn't practice yesterday, and doesn't look probable to play. Just an FYI.

One thing that's been clear is that nothing is a given this year, other than the Panthers ability to keep things competitive even when they have no business doing that from a talent standpoint. Just last week, two previously 1 win teams (Minnesota and Cincy) led two 1 loss teams (GB and Tenn) from start to finish, and one of worst teams in the NFL by most objective metrics came up a failed 2 point conversion short of forcing overtime against the team many pundits are calling the NFC favorite to go to the Super Bowl. 

I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we win, but unlike most of you, not at all surprised if we keep it competitive. Hell, I expect it.

Chances of an outright slaughter just increased substantially

Yeah, surprised that wasn't created on here thread wise. They interviewed Burns and Burns said Chinn needed to rest up, as the injury is probably more serious than he thinks. I poo YOU NOT.

Vegas has us as 10.5 point under dogs. Surprised they have that much faith in us.

Defense is going to have to step up in a major way and have us go up + 2 on the turnover battle. 
 

Seems as if we’re going to have to put 30 or more to pull this off. 

Seems very unlikely but this is the NFL and stranger things have happened.

2  biggest matchups of concern:

Travis Kelce against our LB’s and Safeties.

DT Chris Jones against the interior of our o-line.

short of a serious covid outbreak in their qb/wr/te/dline rooms, i don't think we have a shot but it will be good to see us go up against the best

[WarHeel]

If the defense plays their best game of the season, CMC is back and healthy, O-line holds up...there’s a glimmer of hope.

No, not this Sunday. Mahomes is going to rape us.

Panthers are staring down a 3-7 record before they have a sniff at winning another game. I think they can probably win 3-4 more games though. 7-9 is very attainable. 

[jfra78]

Is there a chance?  Of course. Is it likely? No.  

They have the 27th ranked run defense.  Ball control offense is our best friend against them, keep their offense of the field.  We have to convert on 3rd and score TDs in the red zone.  

I really doubt we win, but I don't think it will be the blowout many think it will be
