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

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
