We only beat one team with a winning record this season

[jcluther34]

well technically we didn't jump 7 teams to make the playoffs because half of those you listed are in the afc but

the same could be said about our hot streak last year.. until we beat the patriots and the 49ers

[carolinaperks]

Bad teams don't win 4 games in a row, no matter who they're playing against.  I think the Panthers finally got the right combination out there and it made a huge difference, and maybe even reignited the .  

 

It is kind of unbelievable we are where we are considering all the disasters that have happened this season.  What other team can say the same?

Dammit, I'm driving this dumpster fire bus and I want you hooligans in the back to sit down and just shut the hell up.

on our current 4 game win streak, we beat:

7-9 Browns

7 9 Saints

6-10 Falcons

2-14 Bucs

earlier we beat:

11-5 Lions (in Week 2, on the road)

5-11 Bears

2-14 Bucs

and we tied the 10-5-1 Bengals

because of the division we play in, we jumped 7 teams with better records and get to go to the playoffs:

10-6 Eagles

9-7 Houston

9-7 Chiefs

9-7 Chargers

9-7 Bills

8-8 Dolphins

8-8 49ers

Our opponents outscored us 374 to 339 this season, for a neg 35 point differential, which is #23 in the NFL (bottom ten), behind:

155 - Patriots

140 - Seahawks

138 - Packers

128 - Broncos

115 - Cowboys

107 - Ravens

89 - Colts

74 - Eagles

72 - Chiefs

68 - Steelers

65 - Texans

54 - Bills

39 - Lions <-------------we beat them

21 - Bengals <-------------we tied them

15 - Dolphins

11 - Cardinals <-------------not very good

0 - Chargers

neg 18 - Vikings

neg 20 - Giants

neg 23 - Saints <-------------we went 1-1 against them

neg 30 - Rams

neg 34 - 49ers

neg 35 - Panthers

neg 36 - Falcons <-------------we went 1-1 against them

neg 38 - Browns <-------------we beat them

our QB, Cam Newton, is bottom half of the league across the board:

#19 in passing TD (tied with Kyle Orton and Alex Smith)

#21 in passing ypg

#21 in passing yds

#26 in passer rating

we have the #19 scoring offense and the #20 scoring D, both bottom half of the league

so are you sure this is the season you want to proclaim Gettleman a genius? Why not just wait until we are one of the better teams in the league? If/when that happens, you won't have to trip all over yourself trying to make Gettleman look good, we will all already be happy then

are you sure keeping Rivera as our coach is a good idea? And now there are even people coming out praising Shula. Seriously? The guy has been a lousy OC every year he has been an NFL OC, including this year.

We only beat one team with a winning record this season

EDIT:

as a reminder, we have had better records than the one we had this

year.

1996 - 12-4

1999 - 8-8

2003 - 11-5

2005 - 11-5

2006 - 8-8

2008 - 12-4

2009 - 8-8

2013 - 12-4

People here act like we're the Raiders and are amazed that we had a

7-win season, like we did in 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2012

the only times we failed to get 7 wins in our 20 seasons in franchise

history were:

1998 - 4-12

2001 - 1-15

2010 - 2-14

2011 - 6-10

 

Awesome!!!  Go Panthers!!!  Keep Pounding!!!

Hey debbie. How you been?

[crowntownpanther]

IMO our losing streak was not reflective of the talent on this team. We were plugging and playing guys into spots to fill gaps, there was no chemistry. We're finally healthy, and each unit has really come together and gotten on the same page. The OL still has its gaps but damn it we've looked like a real NFL OL out there of late. Our D is playing with serious heart, and Cam wants to redeem that loss to SF last year. We replay almost any of those games that we lost (maybe minus GB ) with this team as it stands and our season is entirely different. Fact of the matter is we gelled and got hot at the right time, and we've got a shot at the dance.

[gettlemanjack]

when we beat the Cards we'll be 8-8-1, then things will get really interesting in Round 2 when we fight for a winning season.

[thunderraiden]

THIS THREAD TITLE IS A LIE ANYWAYS WE BEAT 1.5 TEAMS NOT 1.0 TEAMS. Ties are 0.5 of a win good sirs, the OP is a bundle of sticks.

[MedellinHeel]

And homers around here think we are winning the superbowl. 

 

I seriously hope they are joking. No sane person can honestly think we are winning the superbowl this year. 

 

Would take a fugging miracle and complete turnaround from the product we put on the field all year. 

[Rags]

Things OP negated to mention

 

Cam was not healthy until around the Bengals game, and even then he wasn't 100% til aroudn the Vikings game.

Our Oline didn't get set till the Vikings game, Norwell,  Reemers and Trai are all better than Silatolu, Chandler and Scott

CJ wasn't 100% til around the Saints game

The only starter in our secondary from our losing streak is Roman Harper. Norman/Bene > White/Cason, and Boston > Decoud

Philly is tremendously better in the slot than Avant ever was. It's shown since we've replaced him.

Stewart and Fozzy > Dwill. Need I say more?

 

 

So, uh, yeah bro.

You know better.
