Best four games this weekend?

[Dude]

Early games:
Bengals @ Bears
Falcons @ Saints

Late games:
Packers @ 49ers
Giants @ Dallas

Other:
Seahawks @ Panthers
Pats @ Bills (homer pick)

So, what will you be watching

 

[Golden Spur]

I think you nailed the top 4, though I'll obviously be watching Hawks-Panzers.

Others of interest:
Minnesota - Detroit -> it will be interesting to see what the Lions put on the table this year.
Philly - Wash is not a foregone conclusion, either. The Chip Kelly era begins.

Most definitely Hawks - Panthers will be good. I would like to see the Panzers stick it to the Hawks so they calm down a bit after a furious preseason.

Also agree on MNF game, didn't include it cuz Monday Night is Monday Night

Washington vs Eagles (the return of RG3 and our very first look at the Chip Kelly offense in the NFL)
Bengals vs Bears (2 teams that should be taking their game to a top tier level like something we saw from ATL last year)
Packers vs 49ers (Kaepernick vs Capers. Rodgers and Kap should provide us an awesome air show)
Falcons vs Saints (Can't wait to see what these offenses will look like with the return of Payton and the addition of SJax)

Panthers will be lucky to win 6 games. If they give Seattle a game Seattle should be concerned.

 

[Steelboy84]

Steelers titans for cin/chi, agree on other three

You're clearly annoyed by all the Seahawk hype. I get that but you're underselling the Panthers. They aren't nearly as anemic as you make them sound.

If they beat Seattle it won't be as big an upset as you are making it. Carolina is a decent team and its game 1, in Carolina, an early game for the Seahawks and the Seachicks are injury ridden.

It's really not going to be an indicator of how they will end up. They will end up in second as is the norm.

They'll make the playoffs this year and win a wild card game before losing on the road in the divisional round.

 

[JDM]

How is saying the Seahawks should have no issue handling the panthers being annoyed at the Seahawks hype?

And any team with cam newton at QB should not be an issue for a decent team.

Steelers/Titans? A team on the decline / A team that is going nowhere


Yeah, a much better game than two up and coming teams facing off against each other.

 

[JDM]

Chicago isn't up and coming.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Panthers are 2-12 in games decided by a touchdown or less in the past two years. What that means is, while their record doesn't indicate that they're good...in most games they have been right there. They were 7-9 last year and look at their losses

16-10 to the bucs
30-28 to the falcons
16-12 to the hawks
19-14 to the cowboys
27-21 to the bucs in OT
27-21 to the chiefs

If they just win two of those all of a sudden they're a 9-7 team and the media would be all over Cam showering him with love.

Point is...the Panthers are not nearly as bad as people are trying to make them out to be. As a Seahawk fan I'm confident in the match up...but I'm definitely not going to overlook it.

 

[JDM]

They can't win close games because they can't rely on Cam. He is not a good QB. He is not even really a mediocre QB.

wrong. if you had actually watched them, you'd know in most of those games Cam had a 4th quarter lead, only for the D to blow it. based on your posts, i think you just have an issue with Cam.

 

[NinerSickness]

They can't win close games because they can't rely on Cam. He is not a good QB. He is not even really a mediocre QB.

I'd say he was just about mediocre last year.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Whats up with all the hate on Cam Newton? He's not even that bad

 

[NinerSickness]

Whats up with all the hate on Cam Newton? He's not even that bad

True, but he hasn't been that good either.

 

[mem49er]

Whats up with all the hate on Cam Newton? He's not even that bad

True, but he hasn't been that good either.

So...what you're saying is that he's mediocre?

 

[Yu Lee - A Nova Lover]

So...what you're saying is that he's mediocre?

There once was a man who was none too good
And then I'd say he was none too bad
Times he was mighty good for a spell
And times he'd go out and raise a little hell.
Mediocre Fred...Mediocre Fred

Fred went to work from 9 to 5
Punched the clock to show he was alive
went to church every Sunday morn and
sometimes he wondered why he was born.
Mediocre Fred...Mediocre Dull Fred

Fred went to the movies every Saturday night
Liked to watch TV and a Western fight
Paid his taxes most every year
And on a hot summer day why he drank a little beer!
Exciting Mediocre Fred!...Mediocre Fred

Ignore him, he's a troll. He isn't very bright either

Maybe, but as a long term option with what they have invested for him I'm not convinced he's even mediocre.
