Time to take the next Step: Skins vs kitty cats Pre-game thread

don't set up the Cousins apologist like last time against the Pats..."what do you expect, its Carolina. We werent gonna win"

Not buying it against the Panthers...not one bit. Carolina is def beatable...

So if Cousins doesnt win us the game ... against an 8-0 team with a really good D that matches up well against our offensive weapons ..... we blame cousins?

i think Cousins is going to throw 1-2 picks, i think the Panthers are going to take things away forcing Cousins to have to try and make something out of broken plays, which he is not good at.

If the run game shows up, that will go a long way. If we are one dimensional and have to rely on Cousins to make it happen .. I dont see it being a good game stat wise for cousins.

who knows, maybe desean pops the top a few times in the 1st half, we force rivera and co. to roll coverage over top every play, open things up for crowder/garcon .. . PA is now working allowing longer developing plays and freezing the LBs for a second .. cam stubs his big toe ... we get a D td and contain their ST .... on paper though, id put my money on the undefeated panthers vs the 4-5 skins.

And the rest of the schedule has been Colts, Saints, Packers, Eagles and the Seahawks at their place.

Pack and Seahawks are great wins on the road...but the Pack are the only team with a winning record. Is that right?

Of course not gonna blame just Cousins, I haven't in the past. Im just saying Carolina isn't a great as people made them out to be. Yes great defense, but offense doesn't match up with the other great ones in the NFL. They let people hang around. Check out their wins and who against


But keeping the bar set low for Cousins is apologist-type stuff. I dont get it. Poor way of thinking. Folks did it before and after the Pats games.

If your an improving QB you make a couple plays a game to keep your team in it...I point to the Atlanta game, he did it there so keep the bar where it is...don't lower it like folks did for the Pats...Its apologists crap.

There is a difference between realist and apologist. Often times the boundaries are gray and fuzzy, but in this case the Carolina D is a notch above most we have played and a different universe than the Saints.

I wouldn't be shocked if we crashed hard this week, but will be very impressed if we pull out a 21-17 win.

The Panthers are a lot like the Jets with a way better offense. :(

That being said, I think we sneak one this weekend.

Pack and Seahawks are great wins on the road...but the Pack are the only team with a winning record. Is that right?

Yes. Of course that's a bit deceiving. Odd year when a tiny percentage of teams have a winning record. So, just about everyone has played mostly teams with a losing record. I believe it's the same with your opponents.

And because we are undefeated, we helped 9 of them have those records. Five more of them would have a winning record if we hadn't beat them.

But yes, you are right. We've only beaten one team that currently has a winning record. Your point that we are beatable seems true. I still feel it's quite doubtful that we'll do the almost impossible feat of going undefeated.

You have been summarily cautioned.....
I cannot see the Cats undefeated this year and it is true many of the wins have been against less than SB teams. BUT...the act of getting to 9-0 is very respectable.
It will not be an easy task for the Skins to take then cats, but I regret to inform you the B & G will KICK THEY"RE ASS INTO NEXT WEEK..............

Please don't kick us too far into next week. We don't want to miss our Thursday game in Dallas. Something tells me you wouldn't want us to pass that one up.

At least you won't have long to wait to get back on the winning track after we knock you off on Sunday.
