I want Arizona.

 

IMO our 2008 team was our strongest top to bottom. Peppers and Beason in their prime on defense, a powerful offensive line with Jeff Otah of all people barralling people over for the best running tandem in the league, prime Smith on the outside with Muhammad on the other side. This team looked to be a heavy Super Bowl favorite before the Delhomme shitshow. I think to this day that that game costed us our first Lombardi. Is there a better scenario than beating Arizona in the NFCCG before finishing off the Tom Brady era by beating the Pats in the Super Bowl?

Delhomme crapped the bed, but there were a lot more problems with that 2008 team than just him.  Even without Delhomme throwing picks, our pass defense was horrific and had been since that GB game and I don't even want to think of the 300 rushing yards we gave up to the Giants.  Warner and Fitzgerald had a field day.  I feel like I was the only one who wasn't that surprised Arizona beat us.  The writing was on the wall.

I'd easily take the '13 team over them and obviously this team is miles better.  Just my opinion but between Lucas doing his best to lose us games and Delhomme playing below average beginning with the Oakland game, that team wasn't as good as the 2013 squad.  Or really as good as they are made out to be, can't just ignore the QB play.  However, the '09 team showed us the potential they had, defense was far better and once Matt Moore gave us competent QB play, we were looking amazing.  Shame we didn't make playoffs that year.

We not only beat Arizona last postseason,  but we had one of the most dominant playoff performances of all time,  on the defensive side of the ball.  

but they were playing their 3rd string QB. i think there would be an extra special something to beating them with palmer under center.

we have several revenge games left. the saints are a revenge game for it being so close last time. the falcons at home are a revenge game for trying to steal the division away last year. the giants are revenge for the nfce being so highly touted week in and week out. falcons at home are revenge for making us play in that shittacular dome. bucs at home are 16-0 and that's revenge enough.

i can't wait to see who gets kicked our way in the playoffs. vikings maybe? revenge for that cold-ass 2x blocked punt game last year when we had no mojo. that would be beautiful.

and of course, the ultimate revenge game against the patriots. no one on this team would allow that to be a loss, not this year.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
