Quote:I watched the Panthers' game against the Dolphins, and the starters seemed to struggle a lot. I know it's preseason, so you can't really read too much into it, but they should have been down 21-0 in the first quarter. It was 14-0 Miami when the Dolphins' running back scored an apparent TD to put the Phins up 21-0, but replay showed he fumbled it through the end zone for a touchback. I didn't watch much more of that game, and was amazed when the Panthers pulled it out. I assume the backups won that game. Cam Newton as 4-10 for 42 yards. It also looked like the Panthers have a major hole at WR.


The game is in Jacksonville, and the Jaguars do get some front line players back for the first game, notably TE Julius Thomas and WR Marqise Lee.


To say the game is "winnable" is not that much of a stretch.

The Panthers starters didn't play much of that game at all. 3 of our starting DLine were out. Our 2nd best corner was out. Luke and TD barely played. C'mon man, that's your analysis?


Did you watch our D against the Pats?


Regardless, both are preseason games and should be taken with a grain f salt.


My point is....it's easy to say the Panthers suck because we had a losing record. But if you look at the turning point for the team last year (against the Saints - I think it was week 11) then you'll see who you're really facing. Not to mention Cam is healthy this year.


I'm not knocking you for thinking its a winnable game - I'm not underestimating the Jags. It's the comments about how the "Panthers suck" that I think are funny.
