Panthers 7 point road dogs...

[DevilCat]

I think we get it handed to us

No....that's the home opener.

[Everfrost]

Take the points. Game will be tight i see us winning 17-13

[lightsout]

Objective me has us winning or losing by 7 points. Biased me says we either lose tight or win by two scores or more. I really get the feeling we are going to come out MUCH differently than we played in the preseason and we're going to catch teams off guard due to that. And because of Cam's legs. That will be a huge factor. If he can make the throws he needs to make and keep the defense honest with his legs if something isn't there, we win this game handily, in my biased opinion.

Again, realistically, if we win by a field goal or a TD, or lose that way, it wouldn't surprise me and it is what should be expected.

Mare with the game winner from 43 yards out and 00:03 on the clock.

Or he kicks it with 40 seconds left, then shanks the kickoff, then they drive and win. Then we remember him all year for costing us a fast start to the season. :banghead:

Taking the Cards in a Last Man standing pool is wise. Hmm, let me go look at the Panthers schedule again.

I will take that, Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The issue won't be our offense but our defense. If we can keep them under 20 then we will have a chance to win. If we keep them to 14 or less, we have a real good chance to win. To do that, we have to contain their running game, Kolb needs to cave under pressure (instead of look like an all-pro). And we need to double Fitz all day.

Otherwise we don't win in a shoot out and we haven't shown we can catch up in a hurry if we need to. We need to have success early while containing them to gain some confidence on the road.

I really, really don't get all the Kevin Kolb love. Not here, but the general feeling across the NFL that he's a good QB. In the preseason, he threw for one TD and took three sacks. In the regular season, he's been mediocre at best, throwing more INTs than TDs, and getting only six and a half yards per attempt. He's also got a losing record as a starter, on a team that's a winner.

Why would anyone be afraid of him?

[Ricky Spanish]

what needs to happen is we need to win but kolb needs to have himself a good game so then I can use him as trade bait in my fantasy league and grab some depth at RB and a different solid QB behind brady...

I mean...

rabble rabble rabble disrespect rabble rabble

[sml1950]

All I want this season is some friggin' offense. I can feel decent the whole game when it's 35-28, but went it's 7-0 and you know it's over, it makes for a long, lousy afternoon.

our D is not going to be on the field nearly as much as we are use to. the Panthers fantastic running game will eat up the clock. That includes the QB scrambles of Kordell Stewart. Excuse me I mean Cam Newton.

but, but, but ESPN says that he is the bestest QB out there. He must be a stud.

Kolb is NOT a great QB. Never was and never will be.

He played on very good Philly teams and did NOT lead them to victories. He is going to fall hard in the desert.

cards have this game cam wont be able to do a silent count and the noise will be to much cards are one of the loudest stadiums good luck but it doesn't look to bright for cam if Adrian Wilson doesn't put him on the IR!!!
