If last night was a regular season game

[PantherBob]

Doesn't mean we couldn't have won. We still ran the ball well w/ D-will, and add Stewart to that mix. And Shanchise would have thrown a few picks had he played the entire game. 5-10 12 yards.

Revis would have shut down Steve Smith the way he did last year. The running game wouldnt have been enough to win.

The main "weakness" the prognosticators were yappin' about has shown itself to be a strength any way you look at it preseason or not.

I'd put Captain back there instead of Edwards for now. His struggling spotted the Jokes two scores.

J- O -K -E!!! JOKES! JOKES! JOKES!

The only person that down Smitty last season was Jake Delhomme.

The game might've been close, but Sanchez blew and their offense wouldn't have did much. Also, their run game was better with their 2nd and 3rd stringers than it was with their first.

Smitty would've got open as Revis is going to be exposed as an overhyped CB, while Jarrett made a few 3rd down plays. Williams and Stewart would've tore it up.

Minus the PR woes the game would've probably be a Panthers win anyway.

With our run game and a stout defense all Matt has to do is not give it away and we'll be better than they've been giving us credit for lately.

So did Revis

[Mother Grabber]

Revis was sitting at home watching the game on TV just like us. Who cares what he did last year.

[PantherBob]

Ok, Steve Smith and Jonathan Stewart were on the sideline in street clothes watching the game too. Who cares what they did last year?

I thought the same thing last night. Personally, IDK. QB play was "eh". Run game was great (as usual). Defense played well, overall. Special teams were...well, special teams in Carolina. Granted, I thought they were a little better (but not much) last night. It's iffy. But there is a possibility, if only because the defense did such a good job.

Defense played "well"??? DEFENSE PLAYED fugIN SPECTACULAR. just as good as the number one defense in football apparently.

[Mother Grabber]

Because they are at least members of the team.

If it had been a regular season game, it wold have been 2009 and Jake would be the QB..
