Longtimefan 10-08-2009, 11:01 AM I expect MOS until I see something that indicates I should feel otherwise, I'll recognize it when I see it. calia 10-08-2009, 11:09 AM Panthers - 27 Skins - 13 It sucks having no confidence in your team...but right now they don't warrant any. Man. 27 points our our D? The Giants didn't come close to that (granted, it was week 1, but still they're a lot better than the Panthers on offense). I think it will be a frustratingly low scoring game (sound familiar?) but we'll squeek it out 17-13. To me, it's all about how our O-line performs. If they can give Campbell some time and carve a few more holes for our RBs, we have a decent shot to win. If not, our D will play well but we may come up short.

Yet you have more confidence in a team that has been a bigger train wreck than us so far? Slingin Sammy 33 10-08-2009, 11:09 AM Carolina has two things going for them; one they're coming off a Bye, two they're at home. Other than that, coming into this game they're in worse shape than we are. Delhomme isn't mobile and will make mistakes. Their run game hasn't picked up any steam (20th in Yds/Gm), their passing game isn't anything to be worried about (23rd in Yds/Gm). As long as Blache continues with a similar gameplan as last week (and he can be more aggressive cause Jake can't run) I don't believe Carolina will be able to score more than 13 points....unless our O puts them in position to score. Carolina's D isn't as bad as their stats indicate. They are 29th in Points/Gm, but the 38 Philly dropped on them was more a turnover issue than a D issue. That being said there is no excuse for being last in the NFL in Rush D (Yds/Gm) at 182. This IMO will be the difference in the game. The Skins will look to establish the run again and will have success. The D will be able to hold the Panthers O in check, specials will be a wash, and we win ugly. Skins 16 Panthers 10. calia 10-08-2009, 11:13 AM Yet you have more confidence in a team that has been a bigger train wreck than us so far? Good point -- Delhomme's numbers this season are abysmal. And if they fall behind, given what's happened already this season, they may panic. I don't think we will -- last week demonstrates that. hail_2_da_skins 10-08-2009, 11:31 AM I'm not throwing in the towel yet. The Skins are one impressive win away from getting the Grim Reapers off Zorn and Campbell back. I have to be a fan and believe that they can turn this thing around. It's going to take an early lead, mistake free game and an inspired effort on defense. Haven't seen it yet, but you gotta believe. over the mountain 10-08-2009, 11:42 AM skins 31 kitty kats 17 the Z man finally cracks 30 pts. go skins!!
