At a lose

kryptonian GSP is King — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:24:21 GMT

.....................................................Hmm..........................................sorry I seem to be at a lose for words. Where was that dominant 12-4 team on Saturday? They weren't at Bank of America stadium. Some quick notes to end the season. Next year we will target a Quarter Back. I vote Matt Cassell but we may look to pick up in the draft. I just pray we don't get stupid and take SOMEONE from Florida. Look for our running game to get even better and hopefully next year will be the year. Oh well, I will support with pride even though I cried. Also, I would like to see the Ravens take it now. I think Philly beats Arizona and the Superbowl will be a tight game!

No. 2 Seed

I didn't write after last weeks disappointing lose to the Giants in OT. It took too many beers to get over it. On the other hand, my prediction from ay one came to fruit with yesterday's win. We finished 12-4 and won the division, a first round bye, and a home game. Looks highly likely for another showdown with New York in Janaury. Look for that one to be even more butt puckering the the recent overtime loss. Here is my prediction based on momentum going into the play offs. I got Carolina v. Indy in the Superbowl! I called it first.

NO. 1 Seed

A lot of predictions I made have come true. I'll keep this one sweet and short. Tampa did fall to us last week and Atlanta this week just as I predicted. Dallas one last night against the Giants and now next weeks game in the meadow lands determines the top dawg. That spot is difinately up for grabs now with the way Carolina is hot with both offense and defense rolling at full speed. Look for Carolina to finish at the top of the heap maybe 13-3 as opposed to the 12-4 that I predicted at the VERY beginning of the year!

MNF was... the atmosphere was insane

Well, I am still hoarse from screaming like a mad man at the game. It was intense, it was great, and it was cold. Tampa must have left there 'A' game in the Bay because after the middle third quarter it was a running exposition by none other then the Panthers tag team. What a two back system. They are the main reason we over came Delhomme's two picks. Okay so my prediction already fell to the way side. Carolina triumphed and New York fell. Assuming we stay undefeated at home, we will role into New York at 12-3 which means the game against the Giants decides the number one seed! Go Carolina...too bad I am not rich enough to go to any play off games. That would be a dream come true. Plus Atlanta lost to New Orleans knocking them further back. They need to win out and have some other teams with some key losses to even hope of seeing the off season now. Don't count on the catz to shut down next week either. Look for the ground game to continue to burn up defenses as well as Super Smith with have another 100 yards through the air kind of game. The connection is there again and it is hot. I am not even trying to throw up pics on here anymore as they never seem to work! What's the deal with that? Hopefully I will be at the game this Sunday too. This is an awesome season for us guys. I feel like we are going to repeat 03 and role to the bowl with some tight games. Would we have it any other way?

Away with Green Bay and onward to the BATTLE.....

I am going to make some crazy predictions here based on schedules. Some I might not even like. But first, yesterdays game and the implications of next weeks game! Yesterday was a nail biter. The Panthers were determined to keep me on edge until Beason sealed Green Bay's fate with the interception. Williams missed that 5th straight 100 yard game but finished with 4 TD's to go with the hard fought 72 yards. And "Superman" Smith made two all important and impressive catches. Now he is only 42 yards shy of 1,000 on the year. If Delhomme gets out of his pick rutt, look for him and Steve to love each other with some aggressive football in the post season playoffs. Next week the game is crucial! Here is why, it will affect the role off from that point on. Carolina has not been beaten at home this year, that will continue next week with a tight win at home over the Bucs. That will make the division interesting and the playoff hunt for the NFC very tight, and I mean the whole NFC because I see Carolina, Atlanta, and Tampa in the post season. Carolina continues winning at home and beats Denver, then drops a heart breaker and playoff preview to the Giants and finishes with a win at New Orleans. That makes them 12-4. Here is where it gets tricky. They could lose the division even at 12-4. I think Atlanta is hot. I think they beat New Orleans, take Tampa at home to split the series and finish hot in Minnesota with a tight game with St Loius being almost a gimmie. That makes them 12-4 if it plays that way and stats decide the division winner. This doesn't discount Tampa. If Tampa loses next week as I predict, then loses to Atlanta at ATL, they still finish 11-5. Even if you trade that ATL game for a win it makes them 12-4 with ATL 11-5. Why does that totally decide the palyoff picture easy. Dallas is going to lose to Pittsburgh and the Giants before a tough one with Baltimore. They finish 10-6 which isn't good enough for a will card in the NFC this year. Chicago already has 6 loses and the NFC west is just pathetic this year. That mean the Giants top the NFC with home field advantage and someone from the NFC south is the other top seed. What a year!!! I won't break the AFC quite as much, but would on request...I predict the Jets, Titans, Pitt and Denver with Indy and ....you guessed it......New England (this is why I don't like the outlook. I HATE New England) taking the wild cards.

Three words....

Burned by Turner!!! Atlanta had some amazing play yesterday didn't they? My goodness. Our offense may have showed up late in the second quarter to overcome a 17-0 deficit but with only 10 minutes left to play Turner took a 24-21 lead and blew it wide open! 117 yards and 4, count them 4, touchdowns on the day! I freakin knew it. When San Diego decided to get rid of him and Carolina looked at Turner and Julius Jones, I said, we better sign Turner. When he ended up with Atlanta I didn't see him directly hurting us because Atlanta was predicted to suck this year but Matt Ryan came down from Boston and said, "Hi, I am the next Tom Brady!". That 23 year old little kid is going to do great things in the NFL if he stays healthy. I think next year, unfortunately, it may be time for us to start looking for a quarterback. We do have exceptional runners in Williams and Stewart, so we need a ship captain, or better put, an animal leader (Panthers). Sorry a little play on words. I am emotionally hurt over the beating we took from our division rivals. If you are a CArolina fan then by law you have to hate Atlanta. I mean, rightly so! Ok, I'll go sulk now, hopefully Carolina gets back to practice.

Struggling but winning....

Thank goodness for defense right. Peppers had nine sacks in a much better year so far in 2008. He also has five FF this year and 28 solo takes with 6 assists. The panthers running game really got our offense going yesterday too with a franchise record on the ground and two backs with 100 plus yards. Some how though, we still struggled against two sub-par teams the past two weeks. Look for us to be really tested next week in Atlanta with a more experienced Ryan at the helm. I think we play better in tight spots so look for us to pull out a nother win. Jake, shake those cobb webbs baby.

On to the bigger issue. This is our best start since our 2003 run to the big one! Now sitting at 8-2 we look to assert some dominance in a very winning division. Atlanta did fall to 6-4 with a lose to Denver yesterday but they didn't look horrid. The great part about Tampa holding the win over us right now is that our coming up game against them is at home where we are undefeated this year. 6-0 at home baby, maybe the fans are finally getting behind their boys again. Green Bay should be a fun game and the Giants at home will be tough. Look for a preview of a possible conference match-up. I see us entering the late stretch at 11-3 and finishing at 12-4.

Ouch win by........

Man, we can kind of chalk that one up to luck and a great game of defense. I always usually support Delhomme when he gets intercepted off of a pass that was in and out of one of his recievers hands but yesterday was just a poor showing. He throws a touchdown two minutes in and has nothing but four pics, all but one being solely on him the rest of the day. Thank goodness Oakland sucks otherwise there would be a three way tie for first in our division. On that note lets get to the good stuff. The Panthers did pull off the win the the remarkable play of the defense and Peppers firing on all cylinders. Man, way to go Peppers. He had three solo sacks for a loss of 20 yards and 2 FF. I can see a nice new contract for him next year and if we got our heads on tight in Carolina we'll pony up the dough. Last, but not least, hats off to DeAngelo Williams for his career day of 140 yards rushing and one great game maker in a 69 yards break for a TD.

Bye BYe Week

kryptonian GSP is King — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:05:17 GMT

It was the Bye week so not much to say. I will say this though, I agree with yahoo sports analyst, coming off a bye week to play in Oakland right now, if we show up, it should be like two byw weeks in a row.
