thecarolinaswagger 20 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 finally cracked the top 10. it took a while, but this defense is playing pretty good now considering all the injuries we have had. beason out,gamble out, nakamura out, james anderson out the last 2 games, ron edwards out. and playing a bunch of nobodies at corner, and 4th and 5th safeties on the depth chart.10th against the pass, 17th against the run http://www.nfl.com/s...=1&d-447263-n=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doyle 4,233 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 I predicted we would have a top 10 defense this year. I also predicted we would be 11-5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TANTRIC-NINJA 2,666 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 year 1 top 10 offense year 2 top 10 defense Has to be a year 3 right? Having to purge the old with the new..but new GMs just do not usually keep incumbent coaches with moderate success and definitely not with 2 losing season. Not fair but a reality.

jarhead 1,032 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 Kudos to the players and coaches.Even better some of these guys like J Thomas, DJ Campbell are showing they may be starters which would mean draft picks can be used on offense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayzor 13,170 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 wheres that guy that kept on bringing up my prediction that we'd have a top 15 and possible top 10 defense this year as an example of my being an idiot? lots of reasons that i can be considered an idiot, but i would say this isn't one of them.

tiger7_88 16,147 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 We're also playing against a lot of nobodies. Good NFL teams lose to "nobodies" all the time. The Chargers beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last week. The team with the best record in the league lost to the Panthers last week. In the NFL, you'd better play well against the bad teams, or they will upset you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teeray 16,463 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 We're also playing against a lot of nobodies. This is cumulative season long stat right? Are you trying to say we have played nobodies all season?? Even though our records don't reflect it I think the NFC South is among the best divisions in the NFL. Maybe I am a homer, but getting a win against Tampa, ATL, or NO is an achievement and none are a gimme. Then throw in this brutal non-divisional games, SEA, Den, Dallas, NYG, Redskins, Chicago. Looking at our schedule we only have played maybe three bad teams. KC (how the fug did we lose to those ass clowns), Philly, and San Diego. We have one more scrubby team left, OAK. So 12 of our 16 games were against what I would consider quality opponents. Now compare that to the Colts 9 wins GB- good win, good team, but at home, after BYE Minny- quality win Cleveland- terrible Tennessee x 2- terrible Miami- terrible Jacksonville- terrible Buffalo- terrible Detroit- not a good team this year Not to mention they have losses to terrible teams like the Jets and the Jags. They also have another game with KC on their schedule. I am not faulting the Cotls they have to play the teams that are scheduled, but hotdamn who do you have to give a hand job to to get a schedule like that.
