[quote=Chico23231;1129147]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...[/quote]

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?

[IMG]http://media.giphy.com/media/6OPbJtEDdy824/giphy-facebook_s.jpg[/IMG]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

So we beat you Sunday and you take it out on the Cowboys - on national TV - on Thursday. Its a win win for both of us.

While, [I]technically[/I], it's a lose-win for you, the nationally televised win carries more weight then a 1:00 loss on some candy ass local broadcasts. Also, a loss to the Skins helps the Panthers answer the inevitable questions of how will they will rebound from their first loss. As they destroy the Cowboys on national TV after a loss to us on Sunday, Gruden will be singing the Panthers' praises and talking about their renewed sense of purpose. Actually, a loss to the Skins practically guarantees that your team will come out screaming Thursday night and with a chip on their shoulder for the stretch run - building momentum just at the right time for the play-offs. Losing to the Skin's practically guarantees the Panthers a 15-1 season and home field advantage throughout the play-offs. So you see, the best thing that could happen to the Panthers Sunday is losing to the Skins.

Obviously, the Skins would be doing the Panthers a huge favor by beating them.

The skins will pull the upset this week, I just have a feeling we r on a roll and not counting the Pats game because they make most teams look avg.

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

This game will be the defining moment for the 2015 Redskins. Will they step forward and win a game on the road against an unbeaten opponent. Can they score consistently without any turnovers against a top five defense. Will they stick with the game plan and mix the run and pass or will they revert back to panic coaching and throw the ball 50 times. Can they contain an accurate, allusive and athletic quarterback. They haven't done so in the past, this is the ultimate test....

Call me a fool, but I think they can.

yes! I got a good feeling about this game....a really good feeling

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

I used to get the Kool-Aid good feeling every week. Really. I was absolutely convinced we would win [I]every[/I] week. After 2012, man, I knew we had turned the corner. I was beyond hyped. Then came 2013 and the crushing disappointment, back-biting, and assorted BS - and 3 wins. In 2014, I allowed myself to be positive at first. I defended the Gruden hire, the retention of Haslett, I believed in a resurgent RGIII. By the end of the season I was truly, truly done. I, a 40+ year fan, was done. I just couldn't get excited about them - at all. This was a franchise with no light at the end of the tunnel - just one with more and more tunnel.

Yes. They have improved some.
Yes. The drama seems to be (mostly) gone.
Yes. The talent acquisition process improved.
Yes. Long live Scot McC.

BUT ...

This is the Redskins. After 20+ seasons of abysmal to mediocre football with good football being the unsustainable anomaly, I have no trust that they will step up. They are starting a 27 year old QB who has a history of inconsistent play. In fact, despite his recent improvement and solid to really good play over the last three games, has - just this season - thrown a Romoesque pick six, been a turnover machine, had games and quarters within games where he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

I am in full on Doubting Thomas mode. I'll believe it when I see it. I [I]am[/I] he of little faith - because my faith has been sorely abused season after season, failure after failure. At the end of the season, they may be 7 to 9 win team. People will be excited about the improvement. They will give us [I]just enough[/I] to feed the horrible addiction ... but then they will regress. Excuses will be made, a fresh start had, and the cycle of mediocrity and disappointment will continue on as we feed our addiction and line the pushers' pockets with our money.

We will lose Sunday. We may look good doing it, but we will lose.

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

Last week Cam became the second QB ever (Steve Young is the first and record holder) to run for a TD and pass for a TD in 30 consecutive games. I would love to see that streak end this week but not so sure it will he is playing with a lot of confidence as he should be hopefully our defense steps up and takes Greg Olsen away maybe use DHall to ball hawk Cam?

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

Cam Newton has ran and passed for a TD in 30 consecutive games?

just looked it up .. he has 6 rushing TDs on the year in 9 games damn impressive still.

--------------------

I also didnt think Cam would amount to much with his early pouting and play and I havent seen him play yet this year but i now like the guy. giving every TD ball to a young fans scores points in my book. seems to do a lot of off field stuff. seems like generally a genuine good dude. he has grown. good for him.

Sorry, but it's not a streak you can break. It isn't consecutive games.

It's that Steve Young is the only QB to get 31 games with both a rushing and passing TD [B][I][U]OVER HIS CAREER[/U][/I][/B].

Cam is at 30 already. If he gets another run+pass TD this week, he ties the record. If not, he'll have to wait and try again against Dallas.

I know that doesn't change you not wanting that to happen this week. Just letting you know that it doesn't break a streak.

How is Cam going to run for a touchdown with that knee brace on? looks pretty serious. Thoughts and prayers.

Honestly, a lot of the bad stuff people said about him early on was justified.

When we drafted him, he was not a great leader, he did appear to sulk when it was going bad, etc. Plus he had come off of some very stupid, immature off-field moves in college.

He has done an absolutely amazing job of putting all of that behind him, but unfortunately it will follow him for a very long time. So I completely understand that fans of other teams are going to still think of those things and not necessarily keep up with how/if he's worked on it.

It don't see it as a defining game. I think the Skins have, for the most part, played up to their talent level and I'm satisfied with that. Unfortunately, Carolina is above the Skins talent level.

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

I want the team to win that much more this week so they (Panthers) will be angry and on a short week when they go to Dallas. Taking their first loss, at home no less will have them in the mind frame to want to go out and destroy their next opponent, and what better audience to rebound at than national TV on Thanksgiving?

That said, I think this is a game that will be low-scoring and close. In fact I think the 'Skins will have a chance to win it in the 4th? I am not ready to predict we can do that against a tough, physical 9-0 team that is on a roll. However, if we do have that opportunity in the 4th quarter and we end up sealing the deal? It could be the biggest statement made by this team in a long time.

Panthers are a pretty healthy team. CB tillman and panthers starting guard are out. i was really hoping Kuechly would be at least limited in practice.

My prediction

skins 27 panthers 23
