Going to be a tough challenge, Carolina makes offenses look silly. Hopefully we can force a couple tos and we don't turn it over.

I truly believe the Skins will hand Carolina it's 1st loss of the season and people will want to jump on the bandwagon.

I'm still in the prove it to me mode. Sunday was a great win, and something to build from, but a lot of the offensive output was partially a result of such a terrible defense.

Between being an away game, a very tough opponent, and the Skins having yet to put back to back wins together. I am skeptical about winning this one.

Simplistic question - if the Skins split the next 2 which team would you rather they beat, Panthers or NYG?

Obviously we all want them to win both.

I want to end Cam's little girl dance and give them their first loss at home. Lotta Skins fans will show to the game, so Id really like us to take over the stadium with HTTR being sung 10-12 times.

I think I fall into this camp more than any other. While the win against the Saints was great, it came against a defense that is widely considered one of the worst - historically - to this point in the season. Exciting, but I'm still a bit skeptical.

That being said, they took care of business in a big way. Part of being a good team is winning the games you are supposed to. AND, perhaps the biggest story of that game was holding that offense to 14 points...so....

With Carolina, they are 9-0 which is real hard to do in this league. Aside from the NE game, and perhaps the NYG game, this is the toughest test for Washington to date - and on the road. However, when looking at their 9 wins, the only one I'm really impressed with is Seattle on the road.

This is a game that can be won, for sure. Just gotta be solid in all areas.

To answer your question: if the Skins split the next 2 which team would you rather they beat, Panthers or NYG?

NYG no doubt. Even if Washington loses the Carolina game, they won't be more than one game out still...Beat NYG the following week and they're still in the driver's seat.

Let's win them both though :)

Offensively, I think this game is going to come down to Cousins avoiding mistakes, the offensive line keeping Cousins protected, and Gruden following a gameplan of ball/TOS control. I don't think we are going to be able to run against Carolina and Norman is going to shut down one of our receivers (Jackson or Garcon).

Defensively, I think we need to load up the box and force Cam to throw. He's not very accurate and I think our secondary is much better than their receivers. The only problem I see from a defense perspective is guarding Greg Olsen; who is their top receiving option. We need a big game from Baker, Pot Roast, and Hatcher; they have to plug up that line.

I also hope our defense is doing tackling drills, we can't have shitty tackling against the likes of Cam, Stewart and Tolbert.

I think of the likes of Cunningham and McNabb, evasive qb's have given us issues forever. I think this is another in the same vein, and our defense will really have to take 3 steps forward in order for us to win.

Re: Time to take the next Step: Skins vs kitty cats Pre-game thread
 
This is going to be a tough task offensively. Going from thee worst passing defense (and overall defenses) to one of the thee best passing defenses and best overall defenses.

When I watch the Panthers their defense looks good. They aren't the most exotic defense in the world. But they don't blow assignments, they tackle, they play fast. Although their good they haven't exactly faced the best QBs in the NFL. And good passing offenses have moved the ball through the air against them....NO without Brees, Rodgers (i know, i know he's the exception but we run similar system) Winston even dropped 287 on them. But their defense is hungry, tied for the most INTs in the league.

This going to be a good test for Jay/McVay vs a sound defensive gameplan.

I have a feeling that the Panthers will play the run tough and Jay will be forced to make a decision whether to stick with it or not....and I think he will end up airing it out.

On defense Barry better be ready to play several different run concepts. Power, toss, read-option, veer. They are gonna run the ball and throw chunk yardage passes. I feel like it almost doesn't matter that they're WR are average..Cam isn't dinking he's throwing it downfield posts, outs, play-action.
We gotta put pressure on this dude make him throw quick. We got to mix up coverage on Olsen, if Olsen is split out I would put Cully on him and take my chances with their other WRs.

Thats a pretty easy answer. Going 1-1 and giving the giants a loss or going 1-1 and giving the giants a win. We all want the giants to lose against us (at least we should) as its a division game and that will matter a lot more in the playoff chase in the NFC East.

Re: Time to take the next Step: Skins vs kitty cats Pre-game thread
 
Carolina's defense is super strong up the middle. They have a break out CB who is highly regarded...I think you need to get these guy moving from side to side...lotta stuff to the outside and Id look at running receiver over the top of the LB, middle of the field.

Offense, everything starts with Cam. Then G-Reg Olson is a beast at TE. I don't look at Carolina and get overly worried. Contain Cam is the key.

Keim been reading Chico?

"Has Kirk Cousins turned a corner?

He has continued to develop, no doubt. But he, too, still has plenty to prove. He needs to show he can be accurate downfield consistently and that he can lead a team on the road."

Right on bro!

Very interesting choosing to go with Compton at LB and deciding between Robinson/Riley to sit. I thought Robinson got off to a hot start, but as the season has worn on, so has his play. Riley coming off a great game. My feeling is let Compton play all game...Riley on first down and goal line, Robinson on 2nd and longs and 3rd down.

Greetings. I'm a Panther fan just stopping by to respectfully say hi.

I guess I should start by saying thank you for taking such fine care of our division rival Saints. I don't care what kind of defensive problems they have. That was impressive what you did. And their poor defense had quite little to do with you stopping Drew Brees. Good job! I won't be upset at you if you're a little nicer to my Panthers.

If you don't mind, I'll snoop around and comment a bit this week, but I promise to behave myself.

BTW, in answer to the above question ... my vote is that I'd rather you beat the Giants. :silly:

Nice of you to stop by. Stick around a while.

I would answer the question "Both!". Besides, the Panthers can afford a loss and still win their division whereas we need every win we can get.

I watched a couple of Panthers games this season and I was very impressed. Your team has a very good defense and the offense is doing what they need to do to win. Your WR's are a bit weak, IMO, so we need to clamp down on Olsen. But don't worry too much about that because we suck at covering TE's.

Thanks! For some reason, we seem to put together some very ugly wins, yet consistently they are wins. A lot of it has to do with the fact that, if and when we get ahead, we focus on running out the clock more than running up the score. So it seems to always come down to one of the last drives.

I'm sorry. I'm one of those goofy fans that know a bunch about my team but I know little of your strengths and weaknesses. If I were game planning against the Panthers, I'd say the same that most of you have said here: Try to contain Cam and do whatever you can to stop Olsen. You are right about our receivers. It's almost like we have an endless supply of #2 or maybe even #3 receivers. Weird thing is, someone different keeps showing up just enough. I've almost gotten the impression that we are better off this way because it's so hard to figure out who the star will be on this day.

We have the makings of a spectacular D, but oddly enough, we've let other teams move better than expected, but our offense has done better than expected without our top receiver so it's worked out.

It's been proven, no ints and we don't lose, if kirk can play solid and have no TOS we have a chance. They don't really have a scary offense besides cam newton, their wrs don't alarm me at all.

We have NEVER beat Can Newton. We haven't beaten the Giants since 2012.

I want and need to see us beat both. If that occurs well buckle up we got first row seats on the bandwagon. There are tons of skins fans out there who haven't been able to stomach the last twenty years.

But in all seriousness (not that I wasn't above), we have to 1. Stop Cam Newton (we have never done that and god I can't stand that guy and 2. We need to put points on the board. Against an awesome defense who have players at all three levels and inside and out. It's going to be a tough go of it and the team will have to grind through and stay in the game.

I live down here (Charleston SC) so I see a lot of them. Cam has turned into a fine QB. It has been rather impressive the way he has grown as a QB. The guy needs to grow up with some of his show boating stuff on the field thpugh.

I Hope they sneak a win on the road in Carolina but then THOROUGHLY stomp the Giants at home.

Carolina is undefeated for a reason- they are a good team. This will be a good test to see if the 'Skins can keep the momentum & focus & play a tough game.

Not sure we have enough to get the 'W', but like Coffee said, Carolina seems to let teams hang around.

The big key to victory, can the 'Skins get their blocker who's best at getting to the second level to Luke Kuechly?

Scherff vs Kuechly, matchup of the game. Our running game hinges on that.

A good team? Already? Damn, that was fast. I was just expecting them to be better than the last 2 years while showing signs that McCloughan has them trending in the right direction. I'll still settle for that right now and will postpone expectations of blowing out good Defenses for at least a few years.

Because isn't that what the good teams do? The Pats hang 50 on everyone, right? Just like the Bengals, Packers, Panthers, Cardinals, etc.

Or maybe the good teams, like the Skins aspire to be one day, win ugly 10-6 games sometimes and don't ALWAYS put up huge Offensive stats, especially when they run into good Defenses.

If the Skins win 6-7 games this year, they've exceeded most people's expectations and optimism will be high going into next season.

Maybe you ought to get your eyes checked, or go practice some reading comprehension.

I'm pretty sure I never said that "good" teams hang 50 on everyone, let alone that I expected the Skins to do that consistently or put up huge offensive stats against good defenses. I simply said they took care of business against a historically bad defense, that the biggest story was holding that offense to 14 points, and "good" teams win the games they are supposed to. Whether that is 47-14 or 10-6...doesn't matter. As a matter of fact, I never actually said the Skins are a "good" team (although I do believe they are "good").

I do agree that if they win 6-7 games this year that they will have exceeded most people's expectations...and I do expect them to exceed most people's expectations.

For the record, my optimism is high, although I am also still skeptical.

I agree. Kirk (w/help of solid playcalling from Jay) can play solid and not turn the ball over we have a chance.

Hand in hand with the Kirk is running the ball well and as someone else mentioned that means getting to the second level and not letting Luke run around free. Which is gonna take a very tight gameplan from the staff because mono-e-mone their DL is better on the interior then our OL.

I disagree about their offense, its plenty good. 3rd in PPG, 4th in rushing based on raw counting stats on Football Outsiders thier 10th overall, 3rd in rushing and 14th with Olsen and just a bunch of guys at WRs. Cam is alot like Rothlisbeger in the sense that even when you get pressure on Cam it doesn't turn into a sack as often as with other QBs because he's not going down easy. Their offense is kinda the anti-'passing league', so its not a high volume passing offense. But when they do pass they're taking chunks at a time.

I look at Carolina and wonder how they haven't lost. They have no wr's, their defense is good but not dominant. They have old ass Charles Tillman starting, as well as Allen who can be run on. Biggest concern is can we stop them from running.

I think if we limit the turnovers this game can be won. I think we're going to have to get Jackson more involved and hit a couple bit plays. Big game for KC obviously...

I'm already pumped for this game. Imagine... we have a meaningful game in Nov.

The Panthers Defense should give us a ton of problems. They should be able to take away the run and Reed .. which leaves us with needing to rely upon jackson, garcon and crowder to win 1 on 1 battles with the secondary. Reed had 3 catches last week w Browner on him.

10th total yds/gm
6th pts/gm
8th lowest 3rd down conversion
11th pass yds/gm
14th run yds/gm
6th in total sacks at 26 (they havent had their bye yet so any total nos. are slightly inflated when compared to a team like us that has had their bye - we are ranked 26th in sacks w 15)

Apparently the Panthers LB corps are the best in coverage and not allowing teams to get outside and turn the corner.

"The Carolina Panthers are loaded with talent at the linebacker position, that's never been the question. With studs in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, as well as a rookie playmaker in Shaq Thompson, the Panthers probably have the best LB unit in the NFL.

While Kuechly and Davis are known for doing many things incredibly well, Pro Football Focus recently posted their top five LBs in coverage. Take a wild guess at which two players ranked in the top three?"

The also have arguably the best cornerback in the league this year in Josh Norman.

thanks, I had heard that but havent looked into it yet. That and they dont really put together long drives, they have great ST (i could see ginn taking one back).

They should be able to run at will on us, stop our run and cover Reed =

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...

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