[Luck has been playing with fractured ribs?]

I don't know if you know this but they are undefeated this year, have some very good playmakers on defense. We can't block and we also don't show up to Monday night games (let alone any games anymore). The panthers are not the jags you think they are, and clearly the colts are not the team you think they are.

Best MLB, DT, CB and one of the best OLB's. 6-0...dude's right...we suck.

[how to beat the panthers]

Run the Ball

Protect 12

Don't have 12 throw 40+ times

Run the ball

This game has that SF 49ers feel to it when we beat Kapernick & Co.

A top defense with a suspect offense. If the good Colts show up, we win this easily. Bad Colts show..... Pagano could be looking for a new job sooner than later

Panthers don't have a "suspect" offense though, just passing attack and we're still getting it done. We are the best rushing team in the NFL and our receiving options, though unspectacular, are producing, especially Greg Olsen.

[Luck has been playing with fractured ribs?]

Cam played last year with a rehabbing ankle, broken ribs and broken vertebrae.

[Luck vs. Newton]

I was just about to post something very similar to this. Just adding Cam will pass the buck on his mistakes Andrew admit his.

Ignorance is bliss, Cam owns and admits his mistakes. He's a far better leader than people want to realize, he's teammates rave about him. Keep believing ESPN and their sensational narrative.

[Luck vs. Newton]

Cam just threw 3 ints last game and people talking about he better. No, he just has a team around him that's not scared. Sometimes these Colts just play scared. Compare both their numbers from the last game. Cam has a defense.

1 of those was his fault, Cam is being mentioned as a MVP candidate, you don't get that unless you're playing very well.

[Colts vs Panthers Predictions]

Panthers are going to come out running the ball to limit Luck's opportunities and their run game is almost impossible to stop because there are so many variations. Once you fully commit to the run Cam goes to Olsen and company. It's an old school, smash mouth approach but with the success and the lack of legit receiving options it's effective. Rivera wants to eat up the clock by grounding out the yards by Stewart.

[Luck vs. Newton]

Newton's issue is that he still has sloppy fundamentals. There's still time where he doesn't get his feet set, his throwing motion isn't ideal, and his movement skills in the pocket aren't always ideal.

He's a lot like Luck in the sense that he never really had a top QB guy behind him to really "fix" him. He also hasn't been surrounded by the talent on offense that Luck has. He's only really got Benjamin and Olsen when everyone is healthy.

Newton is playing better ball right now though. But he's not on the same level as Luck.

As a Panther fan I think this is very fair.

Cam had a very flashy first two years and then we completely changed the offense to be more run oriented. Look at the pass attempt disparity between the two. Cam needs to work on his accuracy and other fundamentals, but he'll never be a 65% guy.

[Colts vs Panthers Predictions]

34 - 24 Panthers.
