Panthers v New England. Obviously a New England win would pretty much seal up the division for them BUT!!! a Patriots loss to the Panthers would only embolden the Phins next opponent. It's one of those games where I sort of hope both teams lose somehow.
Panthers, I cannot ever root for a Pats win except against the rotten, stinkin' Jests (qualified with if it benefits the Dolphins then I root for the Jests)
Panthers, easy. When the Dolphins are involved in any type of playoff race, I always pull for NFC teams to beat AFC teams. Also, we need to find wins for the Dolphins and losses for other divisional teams against similar opponents, because we probably have to catch up one on the Jets/Pats/Bills after giving away the Tampa game. All the other teams in our division probably beat the Bucs. We have to make that up somewhere. Hopefully, the Pats lose tonight, but the short week affects the Panthers, and the Dolphins take them in Miami.
I don't even understand why this is a question. Its like asking which would you rather have: a blow job or gingivitis?
I'd like for the game to go overtime, and then the panthers win on a last second field goal from the one yard line after failing to get in the endzone (ie, the most plays as possible).
A game-winning FG maybe after a play where Cam Newton gets turf toe and has to be a strictly pocket passer for the next game or so?
I'll be rooting for the Pats to lose, but long term, if we were to be a WC team, New England would be better as the #2 seed than the #3 or #4. No way we go there and win in January. Maybe we have a shot in Indy or Cinci.
I said the same thing in the game thread. Long, emotional hard fought game....big hitting, exhausting. Then make them wear blacks next week. Its been freezing in charlotte recently (not today) even snowed a bit last week (insane)....so hopefully its hot and muggy next sunday, they're on short week! LETS GO!!!
This is one of those games you think the Pats will lose, a young upstart team playing well at home. These are the type of games Brady takes to heart and actually starts getting angry at because most people think Carolina is going to win (like it is their God given right to win football games). Type of game where Brady scores on a QB delay from 5 yards out or so than proceeds to spike the ball a little harder while staring at the crowd.....ugh I have seen it all too often... Pats by 16 tonight.....
You want the Panthers to win a tough, physical contest. With a win, you hope that they'll be flying high and ripe for a let-down game. If it's a hard-fought game, having 1 less day to recover could become a factor.
Panthers. For one I live in NC. 2 I always want the Pats to lose. And 3 I always want Brady to be destroyed. The Panthers WILL expose the Pats for the frauds they are! This is the beginning of the end that started when they beat us 3 times in one season, the final time in the final 2 minutes after converting two fouth downs in the playoffs. That's when their domination of the AFC east started and tonight is when it ends.
I have conceded the division so I'm not desperately rooting against the Patriots but not many situations where I'd be rooting for them anyway. I guess against the Jets and if they play someone we're fighting for the wildcard with. I would have invited you and your son over Sick but already watching the game tonight with three Panthers fan as is.
No, I want them to obliterate the Pats. Then I want them to come out in their best and still get beat by us.
We don't deserve it then. As the #6 we would be playing "better" teams on the road. Bring Foxboro on.
yeah agree. There is still 7 games left for the pats. Plenty of time for a meltdown. Brady can get hurt. Gronk could quit the team and accuse....well you get the idea
What if the person giving it to you had gingivitis? And don't act like you haven't been there before and said yes.
Well, seeing as I hope the Patriots lose every game they play this is an easy question... What are you, a Pats fan? I hope the Patriots lose 100 to 3. There is NO circumstance other than a game between two of our rivals in which one should hope any of them win.
besides playoff seeding wins, were the patriots might need to beat somebody to help us.......there are only 2 games a year that i don't mind the patriots win and thats against the jets....other than that i hope they lose, lose and lose some more
