Starting to hear this a lot more than I thought I would from the national media.

Trent Green, NFL network, has picked the Panthes as his surprise playoff team specifically pointing out Defensive play, actually saying Peppers who?, and inspired play by the entire team for John Fox!

Inspired play huh? Guess that would be nice!

Its really cause they dont see a QB turning it over

Many may question can he actually win games for us, but not will he cause us to lose games by horrid play. What those dumb fugs like Dukes is failing to realize is that our system isn't setup to have a Peyton Manning. How you a sports analyst and dont know that?

How to make daring picks for playoff teams before the season begins (media edition):

Step 1: Learn what a football is

Step 2: Make list of teams, seperating by division, ratings, and last year's record

Step 3: Pick team from each division with highest ratings as division winner

Step 4: Pick one team per conference that had a greater than winning record last year but didn't make the playoffs. These will be your Superbowl picks, with the team not in the conference of last years superbowl winners being this years obvious lock to win. These picks can be switched out if the team that "should have" gone to last year's Superbowl hasn't been picked yet.

Step 5: Pick one team that didn't achieve more than four wins in the previous year and select them as the second wild card pick for that team's conference.

Step 6: In the other conference, pick a team that had a great number of hardships (i.e. injuries or turnovers) and declare them as "improved". They will be the final wild card spot.

Step 7: Learn as much as possible about the teams you've picked so that you can later defend these picks or tell everyone how you just "knew" it. Disregard the rest of the league.

Step 8: Wait for offseason, forget what a football is.

Most of the analysts out there would be lost after step one.

The Panthers are going to make the playoffs this year... but I wouldn't say they're Super Bowl contenders just yet. I say they win 9 to 11 games and lose in the NFC Championship game. The only reason we'll reach the NFC Championship game is because of our defense. Barring any injury, we'll have one of the top 3 defenses in the league this year.

      "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.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      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.
