Panthers(-6) vs. Falcons

[Wyank]

You can do whatever you want, but I've been watching this team for a long time and I'm warning our fans not to overlook Tampa.

I hope to god we win but I'm not overlooking them at all and I suggest you should too if you want a possible loss to hurt less.

 

I expect a loss up until game day.  Then foolishly think we will win.  Majority of time getting completely pissed off at the play on the field.  All losses hurt the same cause they all suck.

I get where you're coming from. However, if the fans look past Tampa or any other team how does that affect the Panthers exactly? No matter what you do or what I do the outcome will be the same.

 

That being said, we will know if this team is serious come tomorrow night.

Sorry but I've dealt with some horrifying losses before, but after driving out to AZ this year again after 2011, expecting a big win, I will never overlook a team again or believe this team will win.

That drive home was absolutely miserable. But hey, we're 2-0 since I've bet against the Panthers so whatever.

I didn't say it affects the Panthers, I don't think the players are overlooking anyone because they're pros and have had their fare share of losses to shitty teams.

It was just a warning to the fan base to not get too excited yet because the Bucs have the ability to break our hearts.

If we lose to the Bucs on Thursday, this place will be a disaster and 50% of the talk will be about the draft.

I thought it was a Zod give right, as a fan, to go giddy over the future. I mean, what harm is it to anyone?

I ain't sure how I feel about those folks trying to rein in my giddy. Especially while we are on a 3-1, 2 game winning streak, and we are not a losing team, roll.

I expect this bux game to look similar to most of our last 13 games. We move the ball, score some points, and basically impose our will upon you. You will in turn struggle all day, and maybe, just maybe, you score late. Panther around 30, losers around 12.

That is who we are. Now that we have limited the self inflicting wounds, we are scoring more. Teamed with our D and ST, that is a recipe for success. And it has shown.

The bux are not a very good team. We ARE a pretty good team. We win.

We have a physical and smart football team. Folks aren't used to that. The days of us being pushed around like a little brother are over. When you strap them on to play us. You had better make damm sure the fit tight. Cuz we are going bang the hellz outta you.

If you are not a good team. We will beat you up. We are capable, when we limit our miscues, of competing with the better teams. Sounds real good to finally say again.

This is what Rivera envisioned when he took over. And IMO, it only took him a year and a half to get there.

tl/dr version. Hubby giddy.

I swung by the Georgia dome a couple of weeks back during a visit to Atl.  You Atlanta fans have my sympathies.

Ain't gonna lie to ya. Nothing you said is wrong, per se. This place is a disaster after every loss.

It all comes down to perspective. If, like me and many, many, many, others you see a team that cannot manhandle the bux, you need to open your heart and believe what you are seeing is real.

Sure we still make mistakes. They are just fewer and farther between. Making them easier to over come. We are great at correcting those WTF? moments. Too bad we had to suffer through so many of them to graduate.

Except for that Zod awful 4th at Ariz., this Offense has quietly put together 4 straight effectively aggressive game plans. That has continued to move the ball against everybody they have met. Tampon, meet our "Real" Offense.

The only one stopping our O anymore? Us.

Cam from the last half of last year. Cam we spent all off-season clammering for. Cam who had all these expectation to shatter. Yeah, that Cam. He back.

It's one thing to talk smack, but lets at least be realistic about it...

The GA DOME has hosted

2 superbowls

Chick fil a bowl

Home to SEC football

HOSTED 4 Final four games (including the most recent)

BoA isn't on that level.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

It will change a lot based on this game. If we lose THursday night that -6 is out the window
