Panthers favored by 3 points over Vikings

[Herbert The Love Bug]

have to make them beat us through the air.

Be fast to the ball when AP has the ball and hit him hard and wrap both arms around him and don't let go. Need good gang tackling

[Donald LaFell]

uh guys Visanthe Shiancoe's a pretty good TE

and we have problems with TEs.

IDK why we're acting like APs our only problem.

Shaincoe can't beat our offense by himself but AP could, we can outscore them if AP is at least slowed down.

Uh, Shiancoe's good, but i still rather have Fred Davis over him, BUT AP is the guy. Hightower had a great half, Peterson is 20 times the back that Hightower is. they better shore up that run defense. this could be another shootout game.

[FugginPoo]

Main thing will be to hold them to a FG when they get in RZ and we get TD's when we get downfield. Our defense sucks pretty bad on a long field.

[mick eye]

AP is gonna rape our Dline. I am sorry to say it but he is a beast. We have made Hightower and Forte look like Pro-Bowlers. If Hightower had not got nicked up he might have ran for 150 yrds or more. Also Ponder actually looked pretty sharp from what i saw. I wish old man Donovan was still in there.

It's gonna be tough. I think their secondary is suspect though. I don't see a corner that can contain Smith. So if we don't make mistakes. Make some plays and keep AP from getting into the endzone we have a shot./

[DangerClose]

always have a TE to help Bell block Allen, Blitz Ponder, ie. run the Nickel with outside blitzes, pray AP fumbles twice.

oh and the reason we are favored - PROLIFIC OFFENSE.....when was the last time we could say that?

[panthers55]

I really don't care if peterson gets 150 yards as long as the majority of runs are between their 20 and our 30. The goal for us to limit points against not yards. As others have said before it wasn't Forte that killed us but special teams.

AP is gonna rape our LBs and S. We aren't getting abused so much up the guy these days are we are on the outside......

[Seamonk]

We can't let them own us in time of possession. That's all.

[X-Clown]

Opened at 4.5, now at 3.

Tennessee will probably make it 3 straight games Vegas likes us over teams with better records.

Interesting trend. :cool:

Our record is better than the Vikings

[Dpantherman]

They can get pressure on the QB for sure...but that secondary is AWFUL.

[X-Clown]

Bell can handle that clown anyways. Matthews>Allen

Matthews only has 3 sacks this year and Allen has 11.5. Bell was struggling with Ray Edwards last week. This is not a matchup that's in our favor.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

We are favored and deservedly so.
