Nfl.com predicting Cam Newton Gets

I think this is going to turn into a shootout..but I don't think Jax's offense is powerful enough to compete with our passing game. And neither defense is good.

Beating the Jags wouldn't exactly put the league on notice.

Trust me no matter who we beat this year the other team is going to be an afterthought to the Panthers winning.

[SteveSmith89]

I'll forever trust you.

[The Saltman]

And neither defense is good.

Ummm you know Jacksonville is the 5th best defense in the league right now right?

It's too early to use rankings as a measurement of quality.

The Packers are 30th but everyone assumes they are still "great"

[The Saltman]

Well their defense does not suck.

[SteveSmith89]

Just saying you can't pick and choose when to use subjective reasoning and when to look at stats.

Either combine them always, or never combine them.

[SteveSmith89]

Either way I know little about their defense other than the fact that Steve Smith's foot is going to be knee deep in their ass after Sunday.

And Sean Lee leads the league in tackles after 2 weeks...how long do you think that will last? Not enough time to speculate on stuff like that.

I mean Pittsburgh's shitty performance against Baltimore has made them look much worse statistically then they really are...

jacksonville's defense is a lot tougher than their rankings would indicate this early in the season, and will probably be the toughest defense carolina has faced so far.

what doesn't help, is a national media outlet motivating them by posting what they did.

that's the exact same thing that pissed off the ravens enough to completely dismantle the steelers in week 1.

Their defense is a lot tougher than #5?

I have no idea what you're even talking about...

I thought it was interesting in Cam's interview today that he said all the usual "everyone's good, this defense we're facing is really good" and then said the Jags don't pressure a lot but they can force turnovers.

I would expect the Jags to up the pressure a little bit, otherwise, I don't think they have much of a chance.

[SteveSmith89]

Pressure hasn't exactly worked against Cam in the past.
