that the panthers are in the playoffs. earlier this year i was just hoping that they made it. now i just feel real confident about this team in the playoffs. the only thing that kinda worries me is the defense. but luckily this offense is loaded with explosives and they can go off at anytime. remember last year the offense was the problem now this year its the D. if only the had the whole package what a team this would be.

Another thing is that alot of people try to compare this 08 squad to the 2k3 squad. in my opinion this is a better team,though the defense isn't that good as the 2k3 team they make stops when it really matters most and that's good enough for this team to win. but this offense has outstanding players that can score any given time they touch the ball litterally. back then steve smith was good but dam not this good that bull is on a mission. we had two really nice backs back in 2k3,same typa style running. but these two now are special the speed is different the power is different the elusiveness everything is just better. the o'line was a dam good team in 2k3 but now this 08 o'line are human trees these men are blocking machines.

Can't say that much about the D except j.pep is a freak,jon beason is a tackling machine,and chris gamble is a shut down corner. as far as the special teams you can ALMOST always rely on john kasay. mark jones is better than ryne robinson and jason baker he punts which i don't like but he's pretty good.

Mark Jones stats are slightly better than the 2003 counterparts. Smitty punt return average in 2003 was 10.0 and Jones is 11.4. Though Smitty did take one the distance and Jones has not.

Rod "He Hate Me" Smart's kick return average was 23.1 and Jones is 24.0, although again Smart took one to the house and Jones has not.

Baker's average is 44.1, slightly less than S'bruns 44.6, although Baker had 30 inside the 20 and S'Brun only had 22. (They both had 3 blocked).

yea, our defense isnt as good this year, but i have been thinking about it, and think that probably the reason why the defense isnt as good is because of the quality offenses we have faced this year. ATLx2, NOx2, GB, DEN, NYG, SDC and ARZ. we have faced some good offenses. and even MIN and CHI have good running games if nothing else.

if we had had a cupcake schedule like the titans or miami had, we would have a much better defensive ranking.

another good thing is that by facing these good teams, we will be well prepared for the playoffs.

San Diego when we played them would not be the same San Diego now. They're playing much better ball now.

And if we had a cupcake schedule, who cares where our defense would rank? It wouldn't be accurate or relevent when comparing those teams to the level of talent we'll see in the playoffs. Rankings aren't everything, people.

Every Panther fan should feel good about this team. It amazes me how many people can't seem to do that, but would rather complain and call for people's heads when we just went 3-1 in the hardest part of the schedule and earned the #2 seed in the NFC. Wins are wins...you're not gonna blow everybody out, especially when you have to go on the road and play top 5 offenses in back to back weeks with half of your starting D-line missing.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
