There are 4 10+ win teams in the league:

Titans

Giants

Panthers

Steelers

If you had the choose the one team you don't want to have to play for your life who would it be? To me its the Steelers. After that come from behind win against the Cowboys, I am convinced that the Steelers are the best team in the league. They are finding ways to win without great QB play (even tho Ben can scorch a secondary on any given day) and no running game. Their defense has almost singlehandedly put them at the top of the league, not to mention we match up terribly against them...Ben is a more apt QB when it comes down to it than either Eli or Collins and the Giants lost Plax which makes me fear their receiving corp not at all.

Our run D is up and down but as of late against pretty good competition we have been good at keeping teams out of the endzone.

Our pass D I used to think was the strongest part of our defense but we have been exploited the last couple of games.

When it comes down to it I just don't like the idea of Pittsburgh sending the house down on Jake and making him toss it up for grabs with Troy Polamalu out there to take advantage of it...

Polamalu is the scariest player in the league. Other than that, I don't care who we play, let's just play...

It is not the Steelers. Without romo giftwrapping that game for them, they would be 9-4. They have a dominant D, but their offense is pretty anemic. Running game is not up to their usual standards and the OL is pretty weak....Big Ben running for his life.

Giants are the most complete team....great running game and nasty D.

I think we have a running game to match the Giants, but their D is a notch above...more from their DC and scheme than anything else.

Anyone who doesn't say Giants isn't paying close enough attention.

They have the best quarterback, who defeated one of the best teams ever last year under pressure and has only gotten better.

They are proven road warriors.

They are motivated....got rid of Shockey, got rid of Strahan, got rid of Plaxico....the egomaniacs and troublemakers are gone.

They have a solid coach....Coughlin did a terrific job in Jacksonville and he's on his game again now in New York.

They are a New York team. Think they aren't going to get any breaks with the calls in the playoffs?

It's funny you should say that because Big Ben's stats this season are almost identical to those of Jake Delhomme. Yet, I doubt many would argue that Jake is better than Eli.

giants when they are firing on all cylinders. i'm not sure that they will be the rest of the season. this coming week should tell if they are on a downward spiral or if the eagles game was a fluke.

i have a feeling that we will face them twice this year and split. i would rather lose the first game. if we keep it close i will feel better about it.

if dallas lived up to it's potential it could be the best but with the lack of character and leadership they are most likely to be a bust instead of the best.

titans are beatable. i like our defense against their offense. if it weren't for the AFC being so weak they wouldn't have near the record they now have.

'08 steelers = '06 bears.

suffocating defense....poor offense. only thing is steelers have a little better running game but not the return threat that the bears had in hester. you put that team down by a couple TDs and they aren't going to have the offensive power to come back. only hope they have is in completely shutting down opposing offense. great strategy unless you let a couple slip through the cracks.

panthers.....by far the most unpredictable. that makes them dangerous. just not the most dangerous.

Eli also doesn't have the escapability and improvisation that Ben possesses...when you get pressure on him he goes down like his big brother. Another thing is that Eli is throwing to a group of No. 2 and 3 receivers. Their number 1 receiver right now is either Hixon or Toomer, neither of which scare me.

Polamalu is the scariest player in the league...

I think Ed Reed is probably the scariest player on defense in the league. He's always been that way, but just now is getting some publicity. Has sure hands, can strip the ball, and has straight up athleticism to take a turnover the other way for 6 points. Reminds me a lot of Sean Taylor.

Man I miss watching that guy play.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
