Haha I love the title they gave this piece on the NFL.com front page.

 

This is a very long article analyzing our performance recently.

They're back!

That's what the NFL world is saying about the Carolina Panthers, who have reeled off three wins in four games to insert themselves into the conversation about possible playoff teams.

yeah that's pretty much what goes on around here.

 

For real though, Bucky Brooks used to be a Panthers scout, and went to Carolina, so he does have a soft spot for us I think. He does good work over there for the NFL though....not like some of the morons that are out there

Nice read.  Really liked this quote:

 

"Part of Newton's recent success can be attributed to his decision to finally take the check-down when deeper routes are covered. He's also scrambling more to pick up positive yards when receivers fail to come open downfield. This has allowed the Panthers to stay ahead of the chains and avoid the kinds of long-yardage situations that play into the hands of defenders."

 

Cam has started to understand the little things that make the big difference.  His play over the past three games has been beyond stellar.  I hope (and believe) he had gotten over the hump and is ready to consistently deliver wins.

no. bucky says good things about us quite frequently, esp. this year.

 

he's kind of a weekly fixture on the drive and usually is very positive about what's going on around here.

I was first :P

I'm still a little wary of the praise. While we are playing well, it seems to be against bad teams and only when we want to play well.

 

I'd like to see us win a few more before I really "buy in", but I will take any wins that we can get.

stare harder.

 

it moves quicker that way.

 

and if you focus on one tiny point of it and let it get a little blurry you'll see a unicorn riding a dolphin in 3D.
