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

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
