Over the next few blogs we’re going to break down the season for the Panthers, quarter-by-quarter. Well, we’re not talking every three commercial breaks or so- more like, ever four games. So how will the Panthers fare right out of the gates? Will they have a nice first quarter of the season, or will it be the hardest part?
Sep 7 - @San Diego – You couldn’t have picked a much harder opening game for the Panthers. They will have to play one of the leading contenders to win the Super Bowl on the road. Gonna be a tough one. San Diego 33, Carolina 28
Sep 14 – Chicago – The Panthers should pick up a win here, because although the Bears won the big one just a few years ago, they have been struggling to get an offense going. For the home opener the Panthers and the fans should be pumped. Chicago 14, Carolina 30
Sep 21 - @Minnesota – Stopping the running game will be key here, but the speed that the Panthers have through the air is going to be tough for the Vikings to handle as well. This will be a high-scoring game and a close one. Minnesota 35, Carolina 41
Sep 28 – Atlanta – Carolina should beat this much weaker team, so we’re looking at a likely 3-1 start to the season. Not bad at all. But it will get tougher. Atlanta 10, Carolina 21
