Panthers Pre game thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

This team constantly does the same 2 things under Gruden:

On offense, abandoning the run like a sinking ship for no reason and on defense, sloppy, undisciplined play, ala Nicholson's personal foul and guys streaking down the field wild open.

You forgot a few things:

- Never wins more than 9 games in a season.
- Doesn't score any points in the 3rd quarter.
- Goes 9 or 10 quarters in a row without scoring a TD on offense.
- Never seems to win on the national stage.
- Hires top assistants but still can't play pass coverages or pickup DL stunts.
- etc., etc, etc.

Yeah, it wasn't a complete list. But on a game by game basis over a season, they stick out the most to me.

Hey, everyone. I'm sorry you lost for several reasons. Wanted you to beat a division rival, and I know the Skins will play extra hard after the loss, but also, I wanted you guys in a good mood so we could enjoy chatting about our game.

I'm not much in to conspiracies, but you were definitely set up to lose Monday. The NFL had a product to sell and that took precedence over everything else Monday.

That really scares me about this week. I think we'll see your best.

Welcome back Coffee. I appreciate what you’re saying - a team that just got humiliated (and boy did we) ought to be a dangerous team. Truth is, none of us knows which Redskins team will show up. The Panthers, on the other hand, will run hard and play hard on D. Every week. Still, you nearly lost at home to a lousy Giants team. But it’s hard to think the matchup doesn’t favor your squad.

Thanks, Calia.

The problem with the Panthers is, even when the better team, they let the other team stick around. It bites us in the butt costing the game a time or two each year, and we're always having to pull out last minute wins in the ones we do win. So, I think you're right that Carolina SHOULD win (based on records and last week's games), but this is set up perfectly for your guys to take it from us.

No offense, but I hope so. Every game's important, but we're in such a fight to keep up with the Saints and at a pivotal point where we see what we really have as we get a few guys back from injury/suspension. Based on our respective divisions, I think a loss actually hurts Carolina worse than it does Washington.

(And thank you for the invite, but my family lost everything to dad's gambling when I was a kid, so I'm not one to make even friendly wagers. That is NOT correction to you; just explanation.)

Yes I remember that stat. We were 2-1, running the ball produces winning football.

Monday we couldn’t run the ball and Alex pass attempts were the highest of the season. That is losing football.

Not hard folks, not hard at all.

Up here in Baltimore they are always throwing out a stat about Joe Flacco. The Ravens record when he makes under 35 attempts is well over 0.600, when he attempts greater than 40 passes the Ravens have a losing record. Alex I feel is in the same mold. Keep the attempts down get the run game going and open up some passing lanes.

I still say we win Sunday just to tease us all again

If this opens, check out Harris running wide open to the corner, Alex looked his way at first and then came back to him too late. This is the Smith we feared would come to Washington, we need that gun slinger Smith from KC.

So according to Dan Steinbergh, Josh Norman is becoming somewhat of a cancer on the team:

So here's something. Kevin Sheehan, longtime host of the Skins pregame show, reported on his podcast today that Josh Norman was benched last week for not taking his headphones off during Gruden's halftime talk. Here's Sheehan's report. Listen here twitter.com/kevinsheehanDC…
