Kurt Coleman isnt good. Dont let INT numbers fool you. He and Harper are terrible coverage safeties. The Cards must be aggressive deep next week. Its easier said then done to get them in position to be exploited by I trust Arians to have a good gameplan.

The key is Palmer. He cant be a nervous mess again.

The biggest advantage is our depth at WR vs their secondary. Norman is a stud but he's only one man. That said GB's front killed our OL in the run game and Carolina's front 7 is elite.

I'm very confident we will play much better on offense than we did last night. It might be Carolina's year, but damn, we have a legit shot and I would've taken this in a heartbeat if it was offered to me back before the season started.

Our defense better get ready. we will get rolled if they don't play more physical than they did vs Green Bay. Carolina is planning to punch us in the mouth early and often.

Not worried about our defense, actually. Carolina is going to score some points even if we play our best. The key is that our offense just has to play better (read: Palmer needs to get his head out of his ass). We will beat Carolina by scoring, not by holding them to like 10 points or something. It ain't gonna happen.

We better.

I think GB played a good game yesterday, and its hard to beat another team twice in a row. That was kind of a trap game for us yesterday, although not many people were saying that.

But like someone said, CAR's front seven really matches up well against our O-line. That's not good, because if we can't run the ball better than we did last night, I bet the game will get ugly.

We have to find a way for DJ to get 100 yards. Its our only hope. If that happens, then MAYBE our passing game can make enough big plays to force Newton to beat us passing the ball.

The key is first down we were terrible on first down yesterday so we were cosntantly in 2nd and long and they gameplanned for it.

We have to run better, better blocking and DJ has to be more decisive. the good thing is later in the game DJ seemed to figure it out, one cut secure the ball head down drive forward etc. He stopped trying to break the big one and just got what was there, you have to do that against Carolina too.

Carolina can bring the pressure through the A and B gaps...Our O-line better be on point to give Palmer the time needed to get the ball deep.

Correction - The "key" is our o-line. If they play like they did last night and in week 17, Palmer won't have a chance...

Jared Allen hurt his foot and needs surgery, out for the rest of the year.

We have backs which can catch and make something after the catch... and we need to use our TEs against the Panthers, we can win :)

This x 1MILLION!

Our O'Line needs to have success and we can carve them a new one. If we play like we have the past two weeks..... This could get ugly.

And we need to defend the Run & TE very well.

The crappy field is going to hurt the Cardinals on both sides of the ball in the passing game. It would have been really nice to have home field advantage for this one.

You can throw over the top against the Panthers which is something the Cardinals do well.

Did Seattle change cleats at halftime?

This is one time playing on the road might be good.

I think Carson will do better on the road not at home where there would be a lot more pressure.
