Thursday is going to be huge.

[raleigh-panther]

Raleigh I ain't got NFL network no more like last season got time Warner

It will be on at almost every bar in Raleigh.

Don't despair though, most times with NFL network they do show the games in the home markets and as they threaten to block out Raleigh when Panthers ticket sales are slow, hope for one of the stations to carry it, if not any sports bar, Woody's, Draft, Carolina Ale House, Tobacco Road, etc, wil have it on.

i said similar not which one is better :-). we know when they get down they just open up the playbook for Eli, gotta prepare for that

The game will only be shown on a local station in the Charlotte market, not the Raleigh market. Otherwise, you have to have NFL Network. This has always been the rule for the NFL Network.

If we win it is going to be a turning point for a franchise imo.... I would kill to have tickets you guys have no idea. Maybe I'll have to settle with BWW. I'm giddy just thinking about it, our seconday is going to have to come up huge

[King Taharqa]

Eli is Mr. Clutch, our defense is gonna have to make plays ALL GAME LONG for us to win. Odds are stacked against us. Short week at home, coming off a good win at home the week prior, against a well coached "old timey" franchise. Traditionally Panthers dont perform well in these games. It will be very crucial for our coaching staff to have our team ready for Thursday night.

It's going to be an ugly game, like almost every Thursday game is. Be prepared for both sides to struggle.

The past two times the Panthers have played the Giants in a nationally televised games have been big wins for Carolina (the playoff shutout, and the rushing record game a few years ago).

I predict a 20-16 Panthers win

You skipped Sunday Night Football OT loss....it's o.k., I would as well...

[PhillyB]

huge momentum for whatever team wins this game.

hopefully it will be us. if we can pull off two wins and stay healthy going into the georgia dome it'll do a lot for our chances.

Haha

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Going to have to pressure Eli the whole game relentlessly. never let up. Do to him what we did to the Brees and the Saints*. Limit his passing yards and contain the run. Get key stops then go and score on them. We got this.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

HUGE test for the OLine. Giants DLine is no joke. If the OLine looks anything like they did in week 1 things could get ugly.

Eli is also Mr. Throw up a Prayer.....

Giants also are Fairley one dimensional these days. They also have the short week and have to travel.

[PantherBlue]

Eli is often underestimated. He just put up over 500 yards! That is ridiculous. I hope we have a good game plan for him and the defense plays well.

[Steven Smiff]

We can't have Eli throw for 500 yds and expect to win.
