What do you expect in our Week 5, Skins vs. Panthers matchup

skinsfan_nn · 10-07-2009, 10:06 PM

I think these next two weeks of football will tell the tale of how are season is going to unfold. We NEED to capitalize on both Carolina, then KC. If we can get two wins the next two weeks well who knows.

I do think both these games are MUST WIN games for the SKINS to have any chance to a positive outcome of this season.

I would be pleasantly surprised to see us start in Carolina, picking up where we left off in the 3rd quarter of the Bucs game. Being that was for the most part the only quarter we played, and yes the D did play the 4th also. We have to play 60 minutes of football to win this game against a starving Carolina team that is ready to pop a teams bubble, not that we have much of one to pop.....but if we do play with the same effort in the game as we played in the 3rd quarter of last week and just add 45 more minutes of solid play I like our chances.

If we do the usual, we will get chewed up.

Thoughts on this weeks game?

I honestly have no idea what to expect. I couldn't believe we barely beat the Rams while dominating the offensive game. I was blown away how pathetic we could look two weeks in a row vs the Lions. I was shocked we were losing 10-0 to the bucs, and eventually felt we were gonna get smashed. Somehow we won.

The point is I have no clue about this team. I know they aren't that good of a team. At the same time I wouldn't put it past them to somehow pull of a win.

Another disappointing loss.

I think we will win it, but ugly yet again since Carolina does have a great pass defense. We win for the simple fact we have a more potent offense than they do. If the Panthers score more than 13 on us I will be surprised. Delhomme is really stinking up the joint this year. I agree with you about us needing to play a full 60 minutes of good, solid football, but this team hasn't been able to do that since at least the Spurrier era.

I started doing this after the Rams game and it is definitely easier to watch games.

Chico23231 · 10-07-2009, 10:41 PM

I expect a good effort from the team Sunday. I think the team was pretty excited after the win last Sunday and hopefully the guys can carry it over. Our offense cannot go scoreless in the first half this week and expect a win like we have done the last couple weeks. We need to get a touchdown and contain D.Williams in the first half. Put the pressure on Jake the second half to throw to beat us and aggressively come after him. I think we should be able to run this game with all their injuries to that D Line. Praying for a win.

GusFrerotte · 10-07-2009, 10:41 PM

I also think we will beat KC, but after that it will get dicey. The Eagles twice, the Gmen rematch, and the Saints will probably all result in losses. The Raiders are next to the Rams as the worst team in the league. The Cowboys are in play though as Romo is sucking monkey balls. I guess Jessica Simpson did help him a bit!!!!! I still say we will only split with the Boys just because of our history of doing so even if we did field a superior team. Atlanta is a probable loss unless they come in banged up. Denver could go either way. San Diego is a probable loss, but with Norv you never know. Thing is by week 17 LT might be totally healthy. I see us again around .500.

That's debatable. They have actually played some real competition. I doubt our Offensive numbers would be much better against the Iggles, Falcons and Cowboys.

And that's because we have been starting QBs that couldn't start anywhere else in the NFL for almost a decade now.

I agree with you about being debatable with regards to the Panthers, but I think JC could start on most teams in the NFL with the exception of the teams with the cream of the crop(Mannings, Brees, Favre, Big Ben, Brady) If he does leave DC on his own he will be getting plenty of calls as he enters FA. With the exception of the top teams, the QB situation in the rest of the league is pretty dicey. Look at TB, Jacksonville, Oakland, Miami, Carolina, KC, Cleveland, hell even Tennessee. JC could get the starting gig on any of those teams easy.

44Deezel · 10-07-2009, 10:55 PM

I disagree, but we'll see. I predict the best he'll get is an offer to compete for a starting job at some cruddy team. I sincerely believe there won't be a single team in the NFL that will sign him to be their uncontested starter. I think those teams you mentioned will be looking to go in another direction. But I could be wrong, and we'll just have to wait and see.

For the record, I don't necessarily believe those teams have better QBs, with the exception of Jacksonville, but I do believe they will be looking to improve their situation differently. I don't think there's a single team in the NFL that looks at JC thinking they can build a winning team around him. At best, he'll be a short term solution for a rebuilding team. Parcell's definitely ain't taking him.

djnemo65 · 10-07-2009, 11:03 PM

Anemic offense, solid defense, close game, basically what we've seen for the last five years. I am predicting a loss. If none of the unproven olinemen and receivers are going to step up and become viable this season then this team is sunk. While I think the right side of the line played a little bit better against Tampa, the young receivers are looking like the three stooges right now. And Carolina still has a lot of talent. Panthers win.

GusFrerotte · 10-07-2009, 11:06 PM

Good point. Not saying they are going to take him as a franchise guy, but there is a lot of bad Qbing going on, and JC is better than most of the slobs on the teams I mentioned above. You are probably right. JC will be the guy they bring in until they draft or land a hot FA QB.
