They are all a bunch of double talkers that write articles that gives themself credit if the Panthers succeed and a way out if they don't.

I guess that’s the early season for yah. Nobody wants to say out loud that their predictions were wrong or commit to a new position since it’s too early for that as well.

0 respect. I mean 11 is ok. The rest are just purely based off of the fact that the saint supposedly were missing their whole team when we played them. Unless I’m mistaken when they played the Packers they were missing a few players. The difference of who they were missing against us even adding in the coaches should equate to pure domination at the extent we handed to them. Take away that bad mistake by Darnold trying to shovel it to Hubbard and then Aints wouldn’t have even smelled the red zone and gotten shut out.

There appears to be kind of a consistent theme going with the Falcons here

NFL.COM has the Panthers at 18 and the Saints at 19. Lol

[KatsAzz]

Yahoo/Sports has the Panthers ranked 14th.

14. Carolina Panthers (2-0, LW: 22)

Sam Darnold will get a lot of attention, but it's the defense that needs more respect. This is a really exciting unit with what looks like a top-end pass rush. The Panthers made life miserable on the Saints' offense. Keep an eye on Carolina as this could be a playoff team

Such a great headline and picture. Iconic, really. Cheated out of a SB win, still such a special season.

Quote

Sports Illustrated: Rank - 17th

NFC South: Buccaneers 1st, Saints 18th, Falcons 26th

 

ANALYSIS: "Should the Panthers be higher? Maybe. But I thought about the old tried-and-true "who would you pick to win on a neutral field?" method and I'm not ready to put them higher than this. That was obviously a very impressive performance against the Saints, but this is still a young team and I'm interested to see how it handles whatever speed bumps or growing pains pop up along the way."

 

Very deep analysis.....

Most everyone jumped us up quite a bit. CBS jumped us 12 spots to 11. We'll be in the top 10 with more than a few after this week I suspect.
