Season's we've faced the AFC North have not been good

[RumHam]

These are generally our worst years, but thankfully that division has fallen off. Think part of it stems from road games, too. But seriously, look at the records.

2014: 7-8-1 (Division Title somehow) (1-2-1 against North)

2010: 2-14 (0-4)

2006: 8-8 (2-2)

2002: 7-9 (3-1)

At least in 2014, the entire division suffered. The Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010 and the Bucs in 2002. Don't know what it is with this franchise and playing this division. BTW, we've never beaten Pittsburgh, and I wonder if that has something to do with JR. Maybe Rooney's gift Tepper a victory this year. I still feel Pitt continues to fall off, BAltimore certainly has, Cincy and Cleveland are nothing. Although I still think the Browns make the playoffs this year.

ok

Tiny sample size with different teams to the point that this stat/history is completely irrelevant.

[Mage]

Yeah but our team this year isn’t nearly as bad as those other teams talent wise. I mean maybe you could debate 2014 but Cam was hurt, OL was an abomination, and we lost Hardy. 

That 2002 team wasn’t that bad though. The defense was amazing. Only the Bucs allowed less yards than us.

We always play the AFCN on even years.

That's why we suck.

forgot about that one, didn't go back that far.

Gee, I wonder why Rooney and Co have Rivera and Hurney such high praise... maybe because they always beat us??

Actually, we have.  We won the first regular season meeting against them 18-14 at home in 1996.  Unfortunately, that was the only time we beat them and have a 1-5 regular season record against them.

There is not a team in the league the Panthers haven't defeated at least once during the regular season.

 What do you mean never beaten Pittsburgh? I specifically remember Chad Cota intercepting Kordell Stewart at the end of a game in 96 to get us in the playoffs 

[The Pieyed Piper]

good thing we play the NFCN the same season...

 

[RumHam]

We literally destroyed the NFCN this past year except for Shula Bowl against the Bears. That one game I knew would cost us when it happened. God awful. We get the NFC East this year though.
