John Clayton's previews of the best games of the Week and the Panthers vs Eagles lead the way.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview09/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&page=1stand10/09week1

After reading this article is anyone else a little upset at the lack of respect the Panthers are getting lately? I know we like to fly under the radar but I'm so tired of hearing about the Falcons and Saints (especially the Saints). I don't think I'm crazy when I say that the Panthers and Cowboys (another team that no one talks about) could be meeting again in a wildcard game come January.

I hate the whole "under the radar" thing because it's bollocks, but I am very frustrated at how we are regarded in the media. You'll basically hear one thing being brought up about the Panthers EVERY time, Jake's game against the Cardinals. God forbid they actually talk about things relevant to this year...

Why is that? Being in the limelight means that your mistakes are highlighted further (hence why you only hear about Jake's performance).

Also, I think it's quite normal for the media to latch onto passing teams. Passes are often more difficult and spectacular, just by nature of the football going from one player to another at a distance. There doesn't appear to be much excitement in running because the player already has the ball, and gaining "only" 5 yards isn't fun to watch (for many people).

Also, the STEELERS aren't getting any love. You know, the champs. Why? NO PRETTY PASSING OFFENSE. One of the ALL TIME BEST DEFENSES EVER in an era that favors offense rules wise, and no love. That tells me everything I need to know about the media and what it likes.

The Steelers are virtually being picked across the board by every analyst to repeat. Hows that not getting love?

No, I think without TO they could be very good. As far as the panthers it amazes me that with the talent we have on both sides of the ball why we aren't picked more to go to the playoffs. The excuse I keep hearing is that our schedule is so tough which is nice but the rest of the NFC South plays virtually the same schedule.

Im really not getting all the love for the Falcons lately. 99% of the previews that I have seen have them winning the South. Am I missing something here? Do they really have a better team, top to bottom, than we do?

I would say that possibly QB is the only advantage they have against us.....and Im not going to start slobbing Matty Ice's knob just yet. Yes, he had a decent rookie year, but Jesus, you would think that he put up Brady numbers last year the way people are talking about him.

We have better RB's

Better O-Line

Better WR's

D-Line is about even

Better LB's

Better DB's

I really dont understand....

      Steelers Trade WR Pickens to the Cowboys

      Like your sense of humor.  The answers we seek often lies in the question we ask.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Icege · Posted

      This is going to be one of the more competitive camps we've had at WR in awhile... The only locks are XL, TMac, and AT. Coker and Horn Jr both have strong chances at making it. I can see David Moore being WR6. Renfrow might be the WR7 if they decide to carry that many, or he could join Dan Chisena on the PS (who gets stashed to help on ST more than at WR).

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      Sure, but I have long acknowledged he got better.  He went from horrific to mid-lower end starter.  But now you can’t say that…..you got people wanting to spin top 10 play if you look at it this way, great deep ball passer if you only acknowledge x.   I mean the headline in that article is nice for fans to run with.   But in reality Bryce Young was not the best deep passer in week 12.  Far from it.  He went 2 of 7 with no TDs deep.  The week was full of guy who went something along the lines of 3 of 4 with a bomb TD.   So Bryce then gets appointed best deep passer for say….plays like a 50/50 jump ball while trailing late to a fully covered AT that goes incomplete but could have been something given how the defender played it….not an actual good play.  But that could have been a good play.  I mean, same play could have been a pick if everything else was the same and the defender who had AT blanketed played the ball better (nothing changes for Bryce in terms of what he did.  It’s just a 50/50ish ball to someone covered)….and his entire best deep passer week 12 is built off plays that never happened over guys that actually got it done.   we should be happy Bryce with from shouldn’t of been drafted play to serviceable starter last year.  But all this spin that he is somehow actually sneaky great just ain’t something I’m doing yet
