Dallas WILL defeat Carolina this weekend (1 Viewer)

Carolina will lose to Dallas this weekend. Carolina does not have the killer instinct to beat their opponents down. The game will be close at various times in the game. Carolina has the tendency to allow big plays in the 4th quarter, particularly the 2nd half of the 4th quarter. So despite whatever lead Carolina may have in the 1st 3 quarters, stay tuned till the end of the game.

You may be tempted to think, Romo is going to cost Dallas the game. I would disagree. I think that Romo has the potential for big plays with his solid receiving threats. Yes, he will likley turn the ball over a number of times, but against the Panthers, this may not cost Dallas the game. Among other things, Carolina, may not necessarily capitalize on those turnovers with enough points to put the game out of reach. With the Panthers, "game out of reach" is the key phrase.

With all that said, the home field factor I think works against the Panthers in this game. I have gone to more than 25 Panthers games. Out of those games, they have only won 1 game. This part of my thinking is hard to explain, but those of you who have gone to Panthers home games know what I'm talking about. There are certain games that the Panthers would be better off playing away instead of home. To me, this is one of those games.

Unless something momentous like an important injury or a freak play happens, I think Dallas will win this game.

 
Record of 1 and 24 with you there? Why do they let you keep going to the games? Lot of maybes in there, could go either way obviously.

 
You actually beat me to the punch on this one because I was going to predict a Dallas victory as well....Something about Romo leads me to believe he brings more firepower to our offense. Now on 3rd and 3 we don't have to go 5 wide and hit J.Witten in the slot anymore...it will be Romo scramble time. I really don't care for Brett Favre but Romo has a lot of Favre in him...you will hear more about this on Sunday night mark my words.

Dallas 27 Carolina 17

 
One more thing. Mnay of us Panthers fans see our team as the team who went on the recent winning streak once Steve Smith returned to the team. That winning streak restored much of our faith that we are a superior team, but I'm not so sure. Perhaps our team is more flawed that we think it is, as exposed by Cincy.

Again, despite the Romo turnovers, I can envision where the guy will also torch us on some plays. Turnovers are most meaningful will the other side capitalizes. The IMO, the Panthers are not great at capitalizing on turnovers. The Panthers play games close, and they don't seem to capitalize with TDs instead of FGs.

When you play so many games close, you are bound to lose some of them. Romo is an X factor. I believe he has the potential for big plays. TO has the potential for big plays. Let's not forget about Glenn either. Carolina will get torched at certain points in the game. It's all about the timing of when Carolina gets torched. Given the many Panthers games that go down to the wire, I think the Panthers will get burned in the last few minutes of the game.

 
Romo this weekend:

3 sacks, 3 ints, BUT 3 TDs (Whitten, Owens, Crayton).

To me, the biggest loser in all of this is Glenn. I see his numbers crashing hard.

 
It dawned on me today that I have no idea where that stadium is. Now I know north carolina at least.

thanks

Are you exaggerating here? The Panthers have been a pretty good franchise over the past few years and I find it hard to believe that they would be 1-24 at home in games that you have attended. Even with teams like the niners and cardinals, I find that statistic to be almost unrealistic.

If what Frank is saying is true, it seems to me that Frank is a bad luck charm for the Panthers. *Frank please do not attend anymore home games* I don't think the home game playing works against the Panthers. Usually they play well at home (except for the games Frank attends). Anyway, I don't share the same gloomy outlook this weekend for the Panthers. They are inconsistent this year, but they do have the talent to beat the Cowboys. They need to close out games better. They always seem to play close, and they are having a rough time on 3rd down this year. Hopefully they will start playing more complete games. In the past, they usually start playing better midseason. If they don't turn the ball over, stay focused, and Steve Smith doesn't touch the ref this time and get ejected, I think the Panthers can win.

I wish I was exaggerating. It's all a matter of timing as to the home losses. Not surprising really. Most of the games I've been to are against the best teams I can get tickets for. That has something to do with it. Plus, we've had some tough years here and there. I promise I'm not exaggerating. I'm pretty bitter about it, actually.

Who wouldn't be bitter? And with that kind of luck, I would suggest that you not make any trips to Vegas anytime soon.
 
Way to put it out there, but I don't see it. I see Carolina's defensive line, at home, being a problem for a guy starting his first game. They almost killed C.Simms, injured Steve McNair and punished Brad Johnson, the latter two guys being weathered vets. We'll see.

 
Just one more thing about playing at home vs. the Cowboys. You would be amazed how many Cowboys jerseys you see at Panther stadium. I have been twice to see the Coboys play there (both times, the Panthers lost, including last year). The Cowboys fans were out in droves. Many Panthers fans are more wine and cheese fans rather than the kinds of fans you see in Pittsburgh and Chicago. I don't see much in the alleged home field advantage in this matchup.

I agree with BigJim here. Between Romo's inexperience, a very porous O-line, a defense that will throw everything at him, it seems like the cards in stacked for the Panthers.

As neither a Dallas or Carolina fan, I agree 100%.
 
This game could go either way with the the Cowboys big problems being Romo's turnovers and covering Steve Smith. If the Cowboys can limit those problems, they have a good shot. Easier said than done.

Also I keep hearing about how horrible the Cowboys O line is, but I don't think it's the worst in the league. Romo's mobility will make them less looked down upon.

 
I think the line is less than 3 points which means the oddsmakers don't share the common belief that the Panthers will win this comfortably. All logic points to a Carolina victory but I see the Cowboys rebounding from the debacle against the Giants and eeking out a win... Cats 17 Boys 19 :football:

 
Frank, so you're the bad luck charm ..... please stay at home. You ain't going this weekend, are you??

Uh....I think it will be a butt whoopin'...Carolina wins big. Romo will look like a rook and turn the ball over a lot.

I was at those last 2 Cowboys / Panthers regular season games. Man, those Dallas fans drive me nutso. Panthers get their revenge this time.....

On a brighter note, was also at the Cowboys / Panthers playoff games at home.....that would be 2-0 in the playoffs for the cats.

And it amazes me that of the 4 meetings between these two teams all 4 have come at the Panthers home-field....Maybe this year in the playoffs things will change.

I thought perhaps he was doing that like BassNBrew does sometimes, but I don't think bad luck charms and reverse jinx's mix too well. If he wants to send good vibrations the Panthers way, all he needs to do is stay the hell away from Bank of America Stadium come Sunday evening.
 
The bottom line is, Car Def Line is too much for most teams, let alone a team that had to change their QB because their best QB couldn't scramble to make up for the horrible offense of line.

Car Def line is going to destroy the Cowboys OL...Simple as that.

Here, you could use this :bag:
 
Nice prediction with an astute analysis, it played out just as you prognosticated. I take it you went to the game...

For the record, I did not go to the game, thank goodness.If I had, I would be even more disappointed in the Panthers than I am now. I take no pride in my game prediction. Rather, it is a reflection of a disappointing reality.

The Panthers D has been overrated for atleast 2 years now. However, I did expect them to do better against that turnstile Dallas O-line. Does this finally reveal how pathetic the Panthers D is with the exception of Peppers?

Marc Columbo handled Peppers pretty well. No sacks, 2 tackles.
