Apparently there are only 2 teams in NFC South

[Dpantherman]

of course we havent earned any respect, but come on. This morning on ESPN first take, before an interview with the Falcons mike peterson, Dana "happy hour" Jacobson (or whatever her name is). said it was a 2 team race. and on Pat Yasinkas' chat both Thursday and Friday, the chats are devoted to the Falcons and Saints games respectively.

Granted these teams are leading the division, but have any of you actually looked at their schedules so far compared to ours? I would love to see the season records around week 12, then i will talk about how many teams are active in this division.

We've got one crappy win against a crappy team between us and we're supposed to be in the hunt?

Can't blame ESPN on this one.

At this point, it is a two team race. Until we prove otherwise.

No Rezpeecksss I tuell yA!!!!!111!

well that would mean we are officially under the radar and isn't that what all the sheep want? The misleading perception that teams aren't going to prepare for us just because we're not playing good football right now?

They could say "The Carolina Panthers do not exist anymore" and I wouldn't really disagree with them.

Why should anyone give two shits about the 1-3 Panthers or 0-5 Bucs?

It is a 2 team race for the division, there's no denying that. However, Yas's blog is the NFC South blog. He covers all 4 teams no matter how bad they are, so if he only talked about the Saints and Falcons, then that's a little out of line on his part I believe.

Yas is like any other sports journalist in the sense that he follows whoever or whatever is hot at the time. His offseason blog entries basically consisted of dunking his head into fifty five gallon drums of Saints and Matt Ryan Kool Aid. He was all over our nuts when we were winning in 2008 too.

The real problem with this thread is that people actually watch ESPN First Take.

Ehh, it is what it is... I can see the Panthers in the bidding for one of the top QBs in the draft. I personally want Suh, or Berry myself.

Not gonna happen. Besides, we don't have a first round pick next year

some of you missed my point. i remember saying we hadn't earned respect, so i don't expect it. what im saying is, who have the Saints and Falcons played? compare their first 3 games to ours. Sure they are good, but they won games they were supposed to win.
