Will the Nation view us as #1?

Have the Panthers ever been nationally viewed as the best team in football? I sure as heck don't thank so.

The Patriot's weapons have crumbled and they are no longer undefeated. Arizona just barely beat a bad team in the 49ers, and had to get help from the refs to accomplish that feat. 

Top that off with the fact that we just got done smashing the Cowgirls on one of the most widely viewed games of the season, and I've got to think that it's not just those in Carolina that think we're #1.

In the end, public perception counts for jack. However, if it leads to a bigger fan base and better media coverage, than I'm all for it.

Keep Pounding!

I guess we'll find out Wednesday when they release those power rankings if that's your thing. However, I imagine they find a way to make excuses for Patriots at #1 and push Denver ahead of us. But no fugs given. On to the Saints.

Nope. Give up some explanation of if the patriots were healthy or some bs. Knowing good and well we lost our number one receiver for the year and had multiple games without luke, ryan kalil, charles johnson, etc.  We didn't cry over it. They have to have it fit their agenda that there is a better team than the panthers. Panthers best team in nfl? Can't have that, no sir.

Power ratings are basically the teams sorted by record with media bias to break any ties.  I could write a computer algorithm to come up with accurate power rankings in a matter of minutes.

Thus, we will be a near-unaminous #1 this week but the media will hate every second of it.

Some of you crack me up. The Panthers will be #1 in every major power poll tomorrow. Underdog role is gone for good.

I'm not so sure. People will look at the Pats "barely losing" in Denver and without Gronk (even though he played 95% of the game) as not meaning much and if he's not out for the year they'll probably still regard the Pats as #1. If we were playing in Denver next week I guarantee you they'd be favored by pretty much everybody.

Yes, definitely more crow eating by the media...

But actually, I'm beginning to wonder if they're not beginning to be excited by the Panthers.  After all, we're fun to watch.  We're balanced on offense & defense, with both sides of the ball making spectacular plays.    We've got legit superstars in Cam & Luke, (Cam being Mr. personality plus, and just such a joy to watch when he's having fun.)  and J-No is a trip and a GREAT interview....   combined with the story & passion of TD.  There's a LOT to like.  Yes, we're a small market.  But apart from that, I think the media will find that the Panthers are not too shabby for ratings.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
