Missing a few of the usual suspects here (CBS, NFL.com) probably due to the Titans/Bills game tonight. Will update when available.

Love the way Teddy Bridgewater just wins. No slight that the Panthers drop a notch, Carolina fans, but they only beat the flailing Falcons.

Is there a more likable player in the NFL than Teddy Bridgewater? What he’s done the past three weeks has flown a bit under the radar. It’s still a remarkable story that he came back from nearly losing his career (and possibly his leg) to an unlucky practice injury. He is playing at a high level for a Panthers team that has won three in a row. Anyone can get behind that story.

NBC Sports: 17

In a similar vein as the Dolphins, the Panthers are potentially the NFL’s biggest surprise. Teddy Bridgewater has been brilliant, and Matt Rhule’s club has played good football all season. They’re more than capable of beating a suspect Bears team in Week 6.

Winners of their last two games after starting the season 0-2, the Panthers made their way to Atlanta to take on the desperate Falcons. Carolina had dropped five straight games in this NFC South rivalry but quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 313 yards and a pair of scores and Matt Rhule’s offense rolled up 437 total yards. The Panthers did not give up a sack or turn over the ball and allowed just 16 points for the second time in three games.

ESPN: 19

For all the concerns about a young secondary coming into the season, the run defense has been the biggest weakness. The Panthers are giving up 135 yards per game to rank among the bottom half of the NFL. Improving that stat was an emphasis for the new staff after last year's unit allowed a whopping 143.5 yards rushing per game. That was another reason for drafting run-stopper Derrick Brown in the first round. The Panthers rank as one of the worst teams in the NFL in yards after initial contact. And they have given up eight rushing touchdowns, the most through five games in franchise history. -- David Newton

Pro Football Network: 23

Quote

The Panthers come in 23rd in the Week 5 NFL Power Rankings, and their offense is humming. Teddy Bridgewater is playing very good football, and Mike Davis had another big afternoon. Robby Anderson and DJ Moore, who combined for 205 receiving yards, are quickly proving to be a high-end pair of weapons for Bridgewater while Carolina’s defense is better than expected. Carolina now has a winning record and is way ahead of schedule in their franchise rebuild.

Fucing David Newton - how can anyone like that guy?  What a negative nancy.

The theme of the power rankings was to list the biggest weakness for every team. I dislike him as much as the next guy but he was just following the theme here

32. New York Jets (0-5)

Week 5 ranking: 32sw_ye_40.png

Biggest weakness: Football

The Jets aren't good at anything, so it's hard to pinpoint one weakness. They're one of only four teams in the past 30 years (and the first since the 2013 Jaguars) to lose their first five games by multiple scores. They've lost by at least nine points in every game, as the offense has managed only six touchdowns. They've given up at least 27 points in every game, and the defense, which kept them in many games last season, is yielding 395 yards per game. It's a dumpster fire. -- Rich Cimini

Just had to put this somewhere.  When your a football team and your biggest weakness is football I think that might be bad.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
