Why we'll beat the Panthers


Skins24

Recommended Posts

I'm worried about the opposite: that Carolina comes to life against us. Sadly, the deck is kind of stacked against us, here.

• Carolina was very good last year, and has had tough opponents so far. We have looked weak against weaker opponents.

• Carolina is coming off a bye.

• Carolina has a strong run game and we have been weak against the run so far.

• We are playing on the road.

• Some players have to be questioning Zorn's future (and their own) in light of the recent Lewis hire.

It could add up to a whole lot of ugly. I hope not, but it could.

I will say this, though, to end on a positive note. If the Skins do pull out a win and show moxie in doing so, it could be an indication that the second half of the Bucs game was some sort of turning point. The team has come together and is playing with that "we'll show 'em all" mentality that can lead to something.

Yes this game can go down to the wire .. I dont care. I just want the win because we seem to never play well in Carolina. Hopefully we can change that!

We never seem to play well there? We've lost ONCE there.:doh: In fact, we've only lost one time to them...ever! And please don't bring up the preseason game last year. Don't be that guy.

And not to mention that their one win over us was debatable. I don't care what anyone says, I still don't think Davis broke the plain prior to fumbling.

Yeah, every time a Panther fan "tries" to talk smack to me, after I bring up the fact we're 7-1 against them, I like to add in, "and you really didn't win the one game either, you had help from the officials on that one".:evilg:...To my surprise, they actually don't even dispute it. But the two point conversation one in Tampa hurt a lot more. That was just BS.

We need He-who-must-not-be-named to plunk another official for that.

Hate these ****ing threads. They always seem like a jinx to me.

lol, how?

They disappeared the latter half of last season and there hasn't been one yet this season. The Skins have played horribly during that stretch.

Seems to me, it's the opposite :)

I clearly said we dont play good IN CAROLINA!!! Not WE dont play good against the Panters.. :doh:

When was the last time a Redskins team won a regular season matchup in Carolina? 1998 .. 11 years ago!

When was the last time a Redskins team won a preseason game @ Carolina 2002! 7 years ago!

In fact the scores have looked like this!

2008- 47-3 Preseason L

2006- 28-10 Presseason L

2003- 20-0 Preseason L

2003- 20-17 Regular Season L

Get my drift??

Actually.... 4

We won against the rams by 2

We won against the Bucs by 3

So we should beat Panthers by 4...

Its the only logic I can see in this nutcase of a season...

Or we lose by 4 since we lost by 6 to the Giants and 5 to the Lions, it's all in the numbers baby!

Did you just put preseason losses in your argument? Seriously? And I don't know what part of "We've only lost once to the Panthers" you don't understand. Not to mention, nearly every game we've ever played against them (ones that count) has been decided by, I think, a TD or less. You made it seem like we're horrible there.

Edit: Btw, forgot to mention, we don't play the Panthers every year. Sometimes we've gone about 3 years in between meetings. And it seems like we've played them more at our place than theirs. So the years thing you mentioned, is sort of irrelevant. Just sayin...
