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.

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.

I have to say I thought Cam was going to be a huge bust coming out. Dude is a pure stud. Don't care what his stats look like or his completion %, none of that matters with Cam. He just gets the job done and should be mentioned for MVP.
