[RenegadeTK]

well, can't blame them, but i can't wait to hurt their prediction record

[brlawson]

Wow, well we will see, huh?

[RAAZ227]

this gets more and more depressing! I hope we can show up and shut up the critics.

[joelvincent]

If Del Homme and Peppers pulled their heads out of their a**es and showed up they'd be really good. But they seem to have rich contract disease...

[SIXX99]

I picked the panthers to win in the pickem group. I have absolutley no faith in this team to win.

[terrifNick21]

Lol @ the Madden Simulation. 34 points for Carolina? Psht.

Lol @ the Madden Simulation. 34 points for Carolina? Psht.

Yeah I thought that was a bit ridiculous. The only way that happens is if their defense scores several TDs.

[MONTEY]

Lol @ the Madden Simulation. 34 points for Carolina? Psht.

Our defense is about due for a letdown. Inconsistent with stopping the run. Panthers have given us absolute problems with their running game every time.

Smith is also due a big game. We always seem to oblige. Our offense ain't worth a wet fart so yeah I can see it.

[ACW]

34-16? :no:

[Skinz4Life12]

no chance carolina scores 34.

i'll stick to my prediction that if we score over 20 we will win

[ELCHALJE]

Have they scored over 20 yet?

[RAAZ227]

Lol @ the Madden Simulation. 34 points for Carolina? Psht.

Lets hope blache pummels 'homme

[WVUforREDSKINS]

I hope we win, but Steve Smith has a history of torching the Skins

[wvtbred]

I also hope we win but they get a CB back this week and it's very dangerous to corner a pissed off cat on it's home turf.

Only way I see us win is if the D does it for us.

[Jacoby6644]

I'm not a biG Adam Schein fan, but I must say the Skins Carolina segment made me laugh!!!!

[#98QBKiller]

this gets more and more depressing! I hope we can show up and shut up the critics.

What is there to show the critics?

[gca61087]

i turned down free tickets to this game because i have a REALLY bad feeling that this is going to be ugly.

i'm thinking after another abysmal first half offensively, the defense completely runs out of desire. i could see the panthers putting up 200+ rushing yards in this game.

i don't think they'll put up 30+, but they won't have to for this game not to look close.

GOD i hope i'm wrong. don't want to have to deal with all the ****in panthers fans down here.

[Voice_of_Reason]

After the week the 'Skins have had, they'll be lucky if they find the right Carolina, let along win the game.

Honestly do you know what your talking about?

They give us problems every time what?

I want you to pay attention to this little fact:

The Redskins and Panthers have played just eight times with the Redskins holding a 7-1 series advantage.

So again saying they have given us absolute anything but a "W" in the column is pure nonsense. I love informed comments but it's time to take out the garbage with this nonsense.

[The Full Monty]

no chance carolina scores 34.

I think our O can score 2 TDs, and we will score on defense; Delhomme is usually good for about one pick-6 a game.

[SkinsFTW]

Until our offense scores 20 we can flip coins to determine the winner because our defense is actually that good.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I am very very worried about them running the ball against us. And i also think Steve Smith is going to have a huge day. Plus did you guys forget about the pre-season game last year. Lets just hope Peppers decides to take this week off!!

Didn't say anything associated with a win in my post. Although I will say that win in 99 was my favorite.

Over the years they have had a decent running game during the pre and regular seasons against us. And Fox takes great delight in that. Comes from his days with the Giants.

They are 0-3 and as usual we will do either one of two things: give new life to a bad team or make them look playoff bound. Be the same this Sunday. Our Skins are flawed and inept and all the Panthers have to do is score at least 17 at home and its a win. Whatever bad blood their is between Hall and Smith wont make a difference. Smith will have his first good game of the season.

I would be more impressed with our 7-1 record if the Skins where a team to be reckoned with but its not. That record means nothing with the current state of this organization.

[NattyLight]

17-10 Skins ****es!
