2014 Panthers could make history in the NFC South

1) If the Panthers win the division, Carolina will have won the most division titles in the NFC South. Since the NFC South was created in 2002, all four teams are tied with 3 division titles a piece. And since 1995 when the Panthers entered the NFL, all four current NFC South teams are tied with 4 division titles a piece

2) If the Panthers win the division, it will be the first time in history that any of the NFC South teams have ever won back-to-back division titles (including when they were in previous divisions). No current NFC South team has ever won back-to-back division titles regardless of what division they were in.

3) If the Panthers make the playoffs (even as a wildcard), it will be only the 5th time in history that any of the current NFC South teams made it to the playoffs two or more seasons in a row. The only ones to have done it so far were:

-Saints: 1990, 1991, 1992

-Bucs: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 (won SB in 2002)

-Falcons: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012

-Saints: 2009, 2010, 2011 (won SB in 2009)

(note: you could add the early 80's Bucs who went to back to back playoffs in 1981, 1982...but the Bucs went 5-4 in 1982 and finished 3rd in the NFC Central but got to go to the playoffs because of the 57-day long players' strike that messed up the season, resulting in a special playoffs format where 57% of the NFL teams went to the playoffs that season.)

And if you look at those four teams that did it, you can see they each were very strong on one side of the ball, like we are on defense (hopefully for years to come):

Saints D, 1990-1992

1990 - #8 scoring D

1991 - #1 scoring D

1992 - #1 scoring D

The "Dome Patrol" 3-4 LB unit:

-OLB Rickey Jackson - HOF, 6x All-Pro, 6x Pro Bowl

-MLB Sam Mills - 4x All-Pro, 5x Pro Bowl

-MLB Vaughan Johnson - 4x Pro Bowl

-OLB Pat Swilling - 1991 DPOY, 4x All-Pro, 5x Pro Bowl

Bucs D, 1999-2002 (one of greatest in history)

1999 - 2 HOFers/4 All-Pros/4 Pro Bowlers

2000 - 2 HOFers/3 All-Pros/4 Pro Bowlers

2001 - 2 HOFers/4 All-Pros/4 Pro Bowlers

2002 - 2 HOFers/5 All-Pros/4 Pro Bowlers

Falcons Offense, 2008-2012

2008 - 1 All-Pro /2 Pro-Bowlers (#6 total O)

2009 - 0 All-Pros/1 Pro-Bowler (#13 scoring O)

2010 - 3 All-Pros/6 Pro-Bowlers (#5 scoring O)

2011 - 0 All-Pros/2 Pro-Bowlers (#7 scoring O)

2012 - 1 All-Pro/3 Pro-Bowlers (#7 scoring O)

Saints Offense, 2009-2011

2009 - 2 All-Pros/4 Pro Bowlers (#1 total O)

2010 - 2 All-Pros/3 Pro Bowlers (#6 total O)

2011 - 4 All-Pros/5 Pro Bowlers (#1 total O)

I hope we go 9-7 and get a wild card. Its a win win. We get good draft position, we still get our first ever back to back winning seasons, we still make the playoffs and we dont have to worry about losing yet another game after a bye. I love Rivera but bye weeks have been our kryptonite under him, 0-4 after a bye under him.

I don't give a crap about draft position. I hope we pick last every year.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
