According To Sports Reference, Panthers Lost To The Two Best NFC Teams

[Saca312]

Something to think about. According to SRS, our losses are nothing to worry about:

Panthers SRS at +5.0. Saints and Eagles above.

It's something to worry about if you want to go to the super bowl

I don't think they are a better team.

Not buying the Saints as a contender yet, although Rodgers' injury does provide a pretty easy schedule, and they are on a good streak.

They absolutely throttled us on the road, dropped 52 yesterday.

They are looking pretty tough.

I agree with that. Brees is playing out of his mind and the defense looks good. I guess I'm just waiting for them to remember they're the saints haha

I mean I’m not sold on them yet but just disputing OP’s logic....it wouldn’t be a “good thing” if the Saints are one of the best teams in then NFC

I didn't say you guys were bad. That's gotta count for something haha. You can't tell me that you're convinced yet

I'm not. Was just giving you a hard time. They'll have to sustain this play for about another month. Defense had been too bad for too long to buy in after 3 games.

It's a good point. The Saints not looking like utter poo like the past few years makes our loss to them look better. And when you factor in Cam was still rusty as poo and the team was dealing with the kneeling distraction, not to mention overlooking the Saints who were playing for their season, and the loss doesn't feel as bad as it initially did.

The Eagles loss sucks but they do appear to be a legit team. We gifted them 14 points off two flukey interceptions, and we still had multiple chances to win at the end. I like our chances if/when we meet again.

Only if we can get the run game going
