If we lose to the Redskins...

What will you say? What does that say about the team?

Besides the Arizona game (which was Cam's first game) and the Jacksonville game (which the Panthers won), the Redskins are a team the Panthers SHOULD beat. Losing to them is a bad loss. It's at home, the Redskins have just made a change at QB, and they don't have a stud RB to gash the Panthers porous run defense. They are the first team besides those first two teams mentioned that didn't have a first round bye, appear in the NFC Championship game, or win the Superbowl in the last 2 seasons.

If the Panthers lose, it makes me very skeptical that any progress has been made this year. Cam Newton is a rookie but he has shown he has the talent and poise to be great. Every other team they lost to, the Panthers had no business beating at this point. Teams that are far more experienced and have had recent success. This game should mark the turning point - that the Panthers can beat teams they are supposed to beat. It took a monsoon, but they barely rose to the challenge against Jacksonville. Let's see what they can do this week against a very beatable Washington Redskins team.

Last time I said "If we lose to the Redskins.." it was followed by "I will not wear any more Carolina gear the rest of the season". That was 2001, week 6 IIRC... I still wore a hat that just had the blue 'C' from the name logo the rest of that season. I could/would not stand by my defeatist attitude... I dont talk like that anymore...

Washington is no slouch team. They may actually be "alot" better with Beck instead of Rex Grosman. In addition their defense is good to very good. They are a 3-4 and last time Cam played a 3-4 he threw 3 picks(Not in garbage time I might add). Orrapopo and Kerrigan are monsters on the outside edges. Deangelo Hall is an a-hole but he will pick you and take it to the house. Plus he has familiarity with Steve Smith. Torrain and Hightower are good backs.

Most importantly "WE CAN'T STOP ANYONE FROM RUNNING ON US". Running backs in a contract year are dancing with jubilation if we are on the schedule right now. Redskins are happy to put the game into the hands of the Defense and running game. Unless we have worked on something this week to at least slow down opposing run defenses we are in trouble for the remainder of the year. Especially with Adrian "F*$&(*& *" Peterson the next week. He might have 400 yards rushing in a game.

I'll be like that thru Sunday, then I'll get over it and be looking forward to the next week.

Washington has a decent running game and pretty good defense, this isn't really a should win for us.

I'm not going to make any bold statements either way... I enjoy the Panthers and want them to win, but I'm not going to make 50 threads on here next week talking about how bad we suck/Rivera should be fired/Special Teams is horrible/etc/etc/etc... that's what the rest of you will do. :D

      It doesn't matter if you give him a new WR1. To do it you have to devoted MORE resources to him. At some point you have to stop or there's nothing left for the defense. Our defense looks like scrubs because that's what we've got because we've spent a shitload on offense. He got a 1st round WR and a shiny new RB in round 2.  Bryce had a couple of good games but we are not competing against the Chiefs or Eagles. They're headed to the playoffs with realistic SB aspirations and we're headed to a top 10 pick. Those teams have competed for an entire season where the Panthers have ummm... They've almost gotten to as many wins as Matt Rhule in a season.  Would you rather have Bryce or Lamar? Because we've spent more on Bryce and to build around him than what it would have cost to trade for Lamar.  This team can't get better when it's having to devote everything to making it possible for our #1 QB god to play average NFL football.  I may end up being wrong and Bryce may become the GOAT. But one thing you won't see me doing is flip flopping on where I stand every couple of weeks because he has good or bad games. I think Bryce is our version of Daniel Jones and I think we're going to fug ourselves pretending he's Pat Mahomes.
