This one scares me. Even if Rodgers comes back, it's NOT going to be easy.
Cam Newton is not only hard to bring down, he can make big plays with his legs. With our D, we have to get inside his head early, or it will be a LOOOOONG day for us.

---

Yup, Cam Newton has only topped 200 yards passing one game (Dolphins) over the last six he's played. Definitely the legs are what you gotta be worried about.

---

Well since our CBs are down to Randall and PS fodder being held together with duct tape and chewing gum, I have a feeling that topping 200 yards wouldn't be far fetched either for Newton.

---

Panthers Center has a bum foot. That could be good news for Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels. They also have a DL (Charles Johnson) serving a four game suspension. I think this is game 3 for him.

Panthers are 3 point favorites, which is what every home team gets off the bat.


Panthers last four games
vs Vikings 31 - 24
at Saints 21 - 31
at Jets 35 - 27
vs Dolphins 45 - 21

3rd down
Panthers offense 42.9% vs Packers defense 41.5%
Panthers defense 36.9% vs Packers offense 44.4%

Was a little concerned when I saw The Panthers had the #5 total Defense.
A closer look shows The Panthers give up 20.2 points per game, The Packers 23.2.

Never have understood why POINTS are not used to determine rank.

Points are what are used to determine who wins!
🤔

Packers in playoff mode.
Kenny, Big Mike & friends shut down the run.
Cam throws 2 picks.

Don't let Mr. PEPPERS in the backfield.

Let that Baaaaaaaaad man from Chico do the rest.
Packers 28
Panthers 21.

This nullifies any previous prediction from me!
😁😁😁

Injury report

I am wildly hoping that the Packers win this one and start another run to another Lombardi.
I fear it won't turn out in our favor.
Aaron is certain to be somewhat rusty and the Panthers are going to try to put him down.
And we are playing with THAT pathetic defense.
If Aaron gets through this game healthy, I think we DO beat the Vikings and Lions.
This is going to be a VERY interesting end to this season.
Go Pack Go!!!!!
