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

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.

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.

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

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
