[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 576264, member: 1242"] A clue to what kind of game to expect might be in that 2011 game, in the second week of the season, between these two down in Carolina. Then defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay faced then rookie qb Cam Newton and gave up 432 passing yards to the year's top draft pick; making just his second pro start. The Packers won the game 30-23 , though, as league MVP Aaron Rodgers passed for 308 and the defense did turn in 4 turnovers- 3 by Charles Woodson- to overcome an early 13-0 deficit. After the game Rodgers said it was a good thing the Packers were facing a rookie Newton because he was going to be a real problem when he got more NFL experience. Well, that more experienced Newton is coming to Green Bay this week, fresh off perhaps his best showing of the season in a road tie with Cincinnati. Against the highly regarded Bengals defense last week he passed for 284 and rushed for 107 yards and his team was just a missed fourth quarter field goal from a win. The Panthers are the defending champion and currently leader of the NFC South Division so they should be respected. Their defense was ranked second in the NFC last year but is struggling this season. Still, they have turned in a couple of games holding opponents, including Detroit, down and they have a couple of guys who will have to be accounted for in lb's Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. They no longer have scary receiver Steve Smith and will be without back DeAngelo Williams for this game. Jonathan Steward is expected to return from injury but has been out for awhile and may have a little rust to knock off. Cam Newton is their best chance and there's no reason to think the Packers defense will stop him any more than the Bengals were able to do last week. I expect he'll put up similar passing and rushing numbers to that game, but if the Packers can pick him 2 or 3 times it will be a difference maker. Based on the history of the season so far the Packer offense should have a productive day against this suddenly leaky defense. The Panthers are vulnerable both on the ground and through the air so the Packers should have a good balance day and if they do it will help the defense much. The Panthers have been routed this season by Baltimore and Pittsburgh so it's possible this could be a big Green Bay win, if they turn in a game like they did against Chicago or Minnesota. But if the real Cam Newton and the typical Packers defense shows up it could be close well into the fourth quarter. Either way I expect the Packers to win. [/QUOTE]
