Is there another team.....

Is there another team that can match the Panthers intensely physical style of play. I think Seattle define can/did.

I feel one of thd biggest reasons we beat the Seahawks this season and have stood toe to toe in our recent games is the fact that when Seattle comes out and punches us in the mouth the Panthers come back as hard or harder, and Seattle is not used to that.

I think the fact that the Panthers excell in smash mouth, and physical play is going to win alot of games for us going forward.

It must be make a funny saturday.

Not sure. But that doesn't necessarily equate to wins.. in years past we've been a tough, smash mouth team too..  that never seemed to pull it through though.. we were similar to the seahawks this season..with the 4th quarter problems and not finishing games. 

 

This year, our execution has been huge.

Rams and Jets and possibly Bengals imo

+1 for Jets.  Haven't seen enough of the Rams, but they looked pretty tough against Seattle when they played.  Haven't seen Cincy at all yet.

Rams, Jets, Steelers, Cardinals.

I think the Jets probably.  Wouldn't say Rams or Cincy.  Cincy is a good team no doubt, wouldn't call them as tough as us.  Same thing with the Rams, they got some good defensive players...doesn't make them as smash mouth as us.

Miami might start getting tougher with that interim HC. They beat up the Titans pretty good, but that might've just been the Titans Flaming Thumb Tacks

I included the Rams because of Gurley and the D.  Gurley is pretty much as smash mouth as it gets with 30 carries last week (in a loss).  FIsher's teams are always tough and borderline dirty.  Cincy was just a possible because I haven't personally seen much of them but if Jeremy Hill hits a stride they can be in the conversation.

[Toker Smurf]

Good point.  I think CLG is right,  it doesn't necessarily equate wins but can definitely factor in.  Example? Dolphins.  Everyone knows that they have talent but were sucking,  with Dan Campbell bringing more physicality,  they looked the best they have this season.

You forget the last time we played the Rams

this. Rams tried to play that tough man game with us when we played them last and they lost... Badly.
