9-0 PANTHERS

Another win that felt far from pretty. But who cares? Carolina is streaking toward home-field advantage, with contributions coming from every corner. Jonathan Stewart = superb. Kurt Coleman made plays. Ted Ginn Jr. was effective (though a house call was called back) in the return game. Overall, the special teams unit (especially punter Brad Nortman) did its job. Greg Olsen was out there doing his Greg Olsen thing.

That's the point with these dudes. The Panthers are a team of contributors, kind of like Bill Belichick's first Super Bowl team, the 2001 Patriots. And if they keep going like this, the Packers or Cardinals or whoever will be playing for the NFC title in damp, swampy, Charlotte come mid-January.

I thought the win against the Titans was very pretty.

I think it was a poor reference to the crazy rain our area has received to date this particular season

I was gonna quote that too, with my response being 'WTF? How can we be hillbillies and swamp people at the same time?'

Ok, that makes more sense. I grew up here and it would never strike me to describe Charlotte as swampy. 

[CLTPanther]

Must be a reference to all the rain we had, but I agree, stupid analogy.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Ah, I remember my childhood past time was romping through the swamps in Charlotte, rasslin gators and pickin' ma teeth with a twig.

....wait, that's not right at all.

Falcons comment was funny as poo.

6-3 FALCONS

Bye week for the Falcons, who have hardly been soaring ... rising up ... whatever. It's been a bad month of football for Dan Quinn's team, which barely beat the Redskins and Titans and was handled by the Saints. Oh, and did we mention the home loss to the Bucs? At least in Week 9 Atlanta was taken down by a Hall of Fame quarterback ... but enough about Blaine Gabbert! The only reason the Falcons are where they are is because of the middling play below them.
