Panthers come in at 3-1 but they have really struggled on Offense like us, I don't see them putting up many points on our D at home. If we can contain Cam and force him to pass we will be fine.

Skins win a dogfight 23-17.

Defense will bounce back this week.

Im not so sure about the Offense...if Alex Smith has a terrible game Im bringing back the "Alex Smith trade thread" and Im gonna break shit

Well it's already starting shaky..

Per Tandler "There is a cloud over us" Jay Gruden...

So what does that even mean Jay?

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

Guys it gonna get worse ... Gruden is a joke!! Carolina 45. Skins 14

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

Redskins have never beaten Cam Newton and I don't think it starts Sunday either, plus Greg Olson could be back for him. 26-16 Panthers.

After the dumpster fire of MNF I dont see how anyone can pick us to win.I went to bed early in 3rd qtr of MNF and was pleasantly shocked to see the Saints didnt hit 50 points.
I think it's a closer game but not picking a skins win

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

In typical fashion Skins bounce back and continue this up and down cycle 24-16

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

Statistically they're just as average as we are, if not worst. Except that they've been running the ball well...
Surprisingly we still have the 5th ranked overall D (7th passing, 6th rushing).

Really don't know what to expect from this game. Talent is here, we need a spark in this locker room, whether it comes from players or coaches, I don't care, this roster has been improved in too many areas to watch another season derail, without the excuse of injury to hide piss poor effort.

More of a hope rather than a prediction, but I'll go ahead and say our D fixes miscues, keeps us into a close game, run game gets going and we win at home:

Skins 20 Panthers 17

I honestly don't know what to expect. We'll see.

Probably hyperbole on my part, but this game will define how the rest of the season goes. If we lose we're looking down the barrel of another 7-9ish season. Win. This. Fucking. Game.

The next 5 games are all winnable but also loseable with this team

Agree. If the Skins lose its the beginning of the end for the season and the coaching staff. They better win.

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

If we can't win 2 in a row overall, let's win 2 straight at home. Tired of losing to Carolina. 5 in a row is pathetic.

This is how Im leaning. I think the defense should be pissed off and could look more like the previous games...we wont be facing a top 3 offense in the league.

Its all about containing the run game by McCaffery and Cam...Lets not blow a coverage this week, that would be nice.

We need a spark, how about special teams making a play for once? how about fake kick? fake punt?

The offense works best when we get the defense moving from sideline to sideline...need better blocking on the outside for this to work

Re: Panthers Pre game thread
 

we dont have a pass rush and seems like we BARELY scheme to compensate for that. it's a shame but i think we get beat again... we never have great success containing mobile qbs - we're almost always out coached on both sides of the ball and some of the players flat out gave up monday - i'm done with gruden, and im done not having a bonafide aggressive d coordinator -- fucking done with this joke of a franchise... hope it improves sometime...... i still think we lose but i hope im wrong
