The Bengals losing to the Texans should tell you all you need to know about strength of schedule..

And Packers losing to Lions, and Denver losing to Chiefs, and Eagles losing to Dolphins, etc.

People had no problem saying the Panthers would go 5-11, but now that they are 9-0, they have to backtrack and find a way to justify their dumbass predictions.

I don't care who it's against, winning 13 straight regular season games is impressive no matter how you cut it.

Here is what so many people don't understand, and why current season SOS is the most useless stat in a sea of useless stats.

..... team performances changes from week to week.

Just look at us last year.  Look at the Texans now and compare that team to the Texans we beat.  Compare the titans last week to the titans that stunk it up early in the season.  This is why the Washington team has me worried.  They are playing much better now than early in the season and have a ton of confidence.  

Power rankings right now are a joke as you have the top 5 or six and then two large groups of pretenders and contenders.  Any one of the top teams or the contenders could get on a role and go far in the playoffs.

Panthers can only play the teams on their schedule.

Even with that schedule Carolina was expected to be also rans.

Yet they are one of only two undefeated teams

Suck it, you all knowing, all seeing, prognosticators and statisticians!

I was a big fan of whoever came up with the surprise games

    • Yeah... One bad game for Bryce meaning he's not a pro and should be replaced, after a strong finish to last season is a little premature. But the clock has started for sure. If anything, we've seen that he needs to do something to have a better start to the season. That is not sustainable.  Truth. The team ain't ready. The defense ain't ready. Derrick Brown didn't even look good. Just because you throw a lot of resources into a position group doesn't mean you've magically fixed it. And saying the team is using resources to make a specific QB look serviceable is insane to me. If they're using draft picks at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. If they're using free agency to get good players at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. It IS NOT to make the QB look serviceable. It's to make the TEAM look serviceable. Football isn't a sport where money necessarily fixes the problem either. I remember the Panthers spent a lot of money on the brother of another olineman, and that was a complete disaster. Paid a lot of money to a HC that was fired half way through his first season and no other team hired him, even though there has been unusually high HC turnover in the NFL. Throwing high draft picks at a position doesn't mean you fixed the problem either. Remember Kelvin Benjamin and Funchess with Cam? Mingo, Marshall... I think after week 4 we'll have a better idea of what we have. This is an extremely young and new group of receivers. The only receiver out there that had ever caught a pass from BY last Sunday was XL. And he wasn't exactly in prime form. I guess if you want to count J. Sanders and Tremble, then... Ok.     
    • Bryce sucks, but he has been throwing it downfield somewhat consistently over the last year.  12th in ADOT in Week 1, last year he was 5th/27th among QBs with at least 50% of their teams dropbacks (only Herbert, Love, Darnold, and Lamar Jackson were ahead).  He was 2nd in Big Time Throw % too. Last week he had 4 20+ yard throws (0 completions) and 9 10-19 yards.  Compare that to say, Jared Goff, who was in a similar spot last week as far as needing his team to rally and score - he only had 1 throw of 20+ yards and 6 10-19 yards. So Bryce is definitely a poor downfield thrower, but he has been a willing one, especially since returning from his benching.  
    • We are in the craper and will be until this team has more talent and better coaching. They have a long way to go.
