Week 7 SNF: Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) @ Carolina Panthers (5-0)

[Jr.]

I really didn't expect Carolina to get to 6-0. Great to start out 2-0 in this 4 game stretch. Indy will be an interesting matchup next week on MNF.

Is it me or did the guy w/ the shortest arms on the Eagles try and block that FG?

It was almost like they had someone who's shoulder pads were too big so he couldn't put his arms straight in the air jump over center.

Panthers got lucky that he was coming down as the ball got to him. That was entirely too close and really unnecessary to kick a FG there.

Eagles LT Jason Peters just headed for the busses ... No discernible limp at all.

How hard is it for the LS just to raise up instead of just squat the whole time? That would solve that problem.

I mean...just raise up a hand and touch him - if he touches the LS at all, it's a penalty.

The guy timed the jump perfectly. The snapper has to finish the snap, so he's focused on that before he can do anything to try to block. I would hate for him to try to lift up or something and screw up the snap.

Great atmosphere at the game tonight! 6-0! Definitely a product of a soft schedule so far, but in the end the Panthers have won the games put in front of the and that's all they can do. Great performance by the team tonight despite Cam having a subpar game with a few overthrows that resulted in picks. The offensive line and Stewart were on point, though. Get that running game going like that going forward and this is a very dangerous team as Cam is going to have better games more often than not.

The defense allowed Philly to move the ball quite a bit, but they did a great job of holding them to field goal attempts rather than touchdowns. The offense put them in a few bad situations with turnovers, but they pulled through and played great.
