Updating this thread to reflect the 13 straight wins.

-The Panthers became the 8th team in NFL History to start a season 13-0

-of those 7 teams, 5 of those teams went on to play in the Superbowl (with 3 of those teams winning the big game)

-The 2011 Green Bay Packers (who started 13-0) and the 2005 Indianapolis Colts (who started 13-0) lost in the divisional round.

With a win against the Giants on Sunday, Carolina would become only the 4th team in NFL history to ever start a season 14-0.  A win would also give Carolina the best start to a regular season (14 straight games) in NFC history (eclipsing the 2011 Packers and the 2009 Saints with their 13 straight wins)

In case you are wondering about who the other three teams to start 14-0 are

-New England (2007) started 18-0 and lost the Superbowl to the Giants

-Maimi (1972) went 17-0 and won the Superbowl

-Indianapolis (2009) went 14-0 and lost the Superbowl to the Saints

What I love is that the players are putting it into perspective as well.  Instead of getting high on themselves they are like Cam was about winning the OPOW.  He said he should have played better and was not that excited about it.  That is what this team is about, pounding hard and having unfinished business.  I hope they remember the butt kicking that the Titans gave us in the past and we come out ready to take them to the woodshed like they took us last time.  I remember that game clearly.

You basically just told us that we're the worst 8-0 team in the history of all 8-0 teams.

I'm with it. 

 

We could lose one game all season and for some, that one loss will be why we are the worst Superbowl winners of all times!

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
