8. Carolina Panthers (2-1, LW: 6)

They'll have some games like that, when the offensive line just is not good enough to give the team a chance

 

Fair enough

The Washington Post's two power ranking polls are so bad I'm not even going to post them.

Not as bad as I thought.

PFT had us at 15 I think.

11. Panthers (6): The defense didn't get to Ben Roethlisberger last week like they usually do at home (35 sacks in their previous nine home games) and they ran out of running backs vs. the Steelers. Ron Rivera isn't too happy Mike Tomlin's team ran for 264 yards on Carolina's defense -- the most rushing yards vs. the Panthers since 2008.

11. (4) Panthers (2-1): It almost looked like they took Steelers lightly

15. Carolina Panthers (No. 6; 2-1): Maybe they should reinstate Greg Hardy so he can play on the offensive line.

 

 

 

It appears some pundits are using Sunday as a "told you so" game.

Carolina allowed 244 rush yards between the tackles Sunday, the most of any team in a game in Stats & Info's data set (since 2006). Baltimore may try a similar approach.

I expected the media to eat us alive but were still in there.

Pricksco immediately Tweeted after the game that this was the team he expected us to be.

simply because we shut down the WR talk so they went harder on Greg chatter... smh

The ones I've read claim this is a powerhouse team that overlooked the opponent

Prisco is Skip Bayless without an audience.

Maybe the most accurate thing I've ever read on the Huddle.

Wow, pretty generous imo. This week will tell us ALOT about this team. Another Pittsburgh performance and it may be a long year. But a bounce back game and we're right back to where we want to be.

Would love nothing more than for Cam and KB to go off! I'm not so worried about the Tolbert and Stew injuries. Our run game has been non exsistent anyway, I rather see a back like Seastrunk get some looks. Whether it be on tosses, screen plays or just something short out of the backfield. We're more build for something like that, I just hope Shula doesn't become stubborn and try and force things up the middle. Need to start calling plays that best suit your talent and not the opposite.
