I've been saying for months, we need to get this point differential under control. Well it finally happened. We are plus 5. Merry Christmas

PF PA

389 384 +5

When was the last time this team had a positive point differential?

I would love to see the defensive improvement the last 6 weeks compared to the rest of the season. hint (Teeray)

Also notice 3 home wins and 3 road wins.

When we beat NO the team will be 3-3 in the division.

11th Overall in Passing 246.1 yards 3rd Overall in Rushing 149.6

Newton Leads Panthers To 48 Points

From Elias: Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in the Panthers' 48-16 win over the Buccaneers on Saturday. That's the most points scored by a team that started a rookie quarterback since the Rams, with Tony Banks starting, defeated the Falcons on Nov. 10, 1996, 59-16.

Actually this is where some of the credit needs to go to the defense. I wouln't be surprised if they go up in ranking this week either.

The problem in the past was, no matter how much points the offense put up, the defense quickly gave them right back.

Glad to seem there have been some defending. Here's hoping they can keep it up on

Sunday.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.
