Have We Really Beaten Anyone?

It's fantastic starting out 4 and 0. I couldn't ask for a more impressive start from my Panthers. Our O-line is protecting our Franchise. Cam looks better than ever. Our defense looks poised to be dominant; one of, if not the best, defenses in the NFL this season. We all expect a healthy Luke to be back for our next game. We should be riding into this bye flying high right? Yeah of course to some degree... but we can't afford to be complacent.

I think it's good to look at what we've done so far, and instead of being awestruck by the success,we should be feeling we still have everything to prove. The Super Bowl isn't won in the first four weeks. We're far from our goal. Our players and our coaches should not relax for a minute. We need to emerge on the 18th hungry and prepared to stomp some faces. 

Luckily we are facing the Seahawks coming out of the bye. It only takes a short-memory to harbor ill-feelings towards this team. They've beaten us again and again-most recently and painfully in the Divisional round last year. According to my research we haven't beaten them since Dec. 16th, 2007. We have a grudge and we need satisfaction. We haven't beaten anyone yet. Now is not the time to bask in the glory of starting 4 and Oh. Now is the time to focus in and prepare for greatness. Now is the time to show the world and the media that the Carolina Panthers are for real and that the Superbowl is coming through Charlotte, North Carolina.

You can only play the teams that are on the schedule and everyone knows the old adage "any given Sunday." 

Well, we've won every-given Sunday so far and yes, the Jags are a dangerous team. The 'Phins were supposed to be on the up and up. We can't control the Saints being without Breea (even though McCown or whoever it was that played performed as good, if not better than Bree's might have.) 

im just tired of the argument, these teams that we've played have just played good or better teams than they are and by it being any-given Sunday, these teams haven't won much.

everyone knows who the better teams are, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten. We'll play 4-solid teams that we may be under-dogs against come game day. 

We'll see what kind of team we have after the bye and then we can start debating. Till then, we've beaten teams we were favored against on paper.

We've beaten everyone they've scheduled us to play so far. This is the NFL, not the WWE ... we can't just sneak attack the Patriots on their practice field and go four quarters on them.

 

That would be pretty wild if you got one surprise game a year... Danged Patriots would bring in a folding metal chair every time, though.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
