Hopefully we can put the game to bed early and he can rest. No need to risk anything if we play well

4-2 going up to Lambeau on Thursday night is entirely possible

Let’s focus on winning 2 games in a row first.

Well I don’t play for the team so I don’t need to focus on that. Super Bowl here we come.

Yes you do, 12th man

u/Prior-Emphasis-7503 10h ago

My guy said it was probable. Been through too much to be this confident. Haven’t had a winning record since 2017

u/Coma_Potion Bucket 9h ago

It’s funny because they only said it was “possible”. Big deal.

This fanbase has an obsession with self deprecation. You can’t be excited for the future without someone chiming in that we might lose. Like no shit buddy, let people have some fun, the vibes are good in Carolina for once

Not only possible but probable. If we can beat packers in prime time and be 5-2 I might shed a tear

I think their game this week will be telling, I don’t think they are a better team because they beat up on the Bears. That being said, even if they are a good team again I think we are capable of going toe to toe with most teams in the league at this point

Pump the brakes and just worry about this game, it'll make it easier to process as a fan if we shit the bed

Why are we getting ahead of ourselves

This fanbase will never learn man

u/batchez 9h ago

Dude we are a tortured lot. It’s okay to be optimistic and confident

u/cosmo_hornet Purrbacca 9h ago

It’s one thing to be optimistic, it’s another thing to be circling 3 wins in a row when we’re 2-2 with our two best corners injured.

Why not just go one game at a time and not get ahead of ourselves?

u/batchez 9h ago

Nah bro I’ve been pessimistic for the last decade. Just gonna try to enjoy the hype.

u/No_Mammoth_4945 Double Trouble 8h ago

Why not have some hope? I watch sports to have fun. This tom holland MJ “if you never expect anything you can’t be disappointed” shit is lame

u/cosmo_hornet Purrbacca 8h ago

I have hope! But I am not looking ahead 3 weeks saying we’re going to be 5-2. That’s a huge difference. Anyone can beat anyone in the nfl

u/ahundredpercentbutts 6h ago

Because none of us play for the team and therefore it doesn’t matter if we look ahead. 15-2 is a lock.

u/i_block_retards 8h ago

Yeah really, I'd be thrilled with 3-2.

He did NOT want to miss giving Philly big belt

u/stein112 10h ago

Now do Moton and Lewis

Bye week came through clutch

u/UnsupervisedGoulash Cookout 8h ago

Wharton was just activated too. We're getting healthier.

u/Rillaboom2701 10h ago

very good

u/JustToyingAround73 Greg Olsen 10h ago

Fantastic. I'm hoping to see more action from him. Between him and Lloyd, defense should have this locked.

u/gary_desanto Bojangles 10h ago

I love that we're getting healthy but can't forget we are still down our top 2 CBs.

Need them both back ASAP

u/Agosta 9h ago

Do we have a time table for either of them?

2

u/SomeonePayDelta Cam Newton 8h ago

At least 4 games and I believe Mike Jack should be active sooner than Jaycee

u/RunCMC1345 Division Champs 2015 8h ago

Let’s gooooooo

The more good news we get the more pessimistic my brain gets
