I think Cam Newton will show why he was the reigning National League Most Valuable Player of the year of 2015.

I don't think AD was exactly the reason we won the first two games this year. I think we can win without him, too. If they defend the pass more, McKinnon will have holes and he has great moves and breakaway speed.

This team is gonna be better without AD. Just watch.

He had a great season. I was particularly impressed wit his K/BB ratio. Kershaw gave him a solid run for his money.

Seems critical to get some good minutes from Rhodes. Hope he's up for it.

It'll be interesting to see how our offense reacts to not having the box stacked. McKinnon gives this team options we don't have when AP is in. I think we'll see some major yards after the catch from McKinnon today.

Blair Walsh needs to be on his game today. I think 2 late field goals puts us on top.

Anybody think we could see some Kearse today? I would think it depends on how things go.

Hope he plays like Fig Newton today

I think they'll be less predictable on offense without the one dimensional AD in the game. And more importantly, they can't possibly run the ball worse than AD in the first two games.

I'd be down for some of that, but would prefer if it was planned rather than adjusting to some inadequacy on Sendejo's part.

Ugh. I cannot wait until I am done with doctoral school and can move out of Eastern Iowa. Six years of undergrad and post-grad of having to stream games online because apparently Green Bay gets precedence over Minnesota when Chicago is not playing at noon. :( :( :(

I can't agree. I think teams planned to stop the run because our QB was average to below average. Which is why AP didn't show much production.

I think the Vikings either win a close one, or lose a blowout. Idk which one though...
