The numbers look good, but I don't think our passing game holds up. Lafell is simply not a #2. He still clumsily runs routes, is slow, and drops crucial catches. Is his blocking really that good to circumvent the other areas of his game?

 

Not being an eternal pessimist, but if we are serious about contending we really need to look into trading for one of these WR's on the market before the deadline. I know its not going to happen, heres what will: the coaching staff will be happy about the guys they have, make no transactions, and then our passing game folds down the stretch and we miss the playoffs, and then its "oh well, theres always next year" from our staff and we keep everyone and draft a WR in the 3rd or 4th round

Ginn should be teh #2 WR now.  He has only missed a few catches the whole year.

Teams we have steamrolled: NYG, Minn., STL, TB.  Teams remaining on our schedule: ATL, SF, NE, NO, Mia, NYJ.

 

You get the picture.  We have no more cupcakes.  These MFers are for real, legit NFL caliber teams fighting for playoff spots.  We certainly can beat anyone, but I don't expect us to get out to a 15 point lead against all of these teams.

 

What gives me hope about this season is that we are able to win the games we ought to win based on talent and intensity.

 

What concerns me is that we don't exactly know how this team will respond to being down a score or two because we haven't been in several weeks.

 

Who will we be down 4 with 5 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter?  Who will we be down 10 in the second quarter.  Who will we be down 3 with 1:15 to go on our own 20 yd. line and only 1 time out?

 

I am as ready as anyone to proclaim this Panthers team ready to compete for a playoff spot (and maybe actually vie for the division).  I can see us continuing our current form, but I'm just saying...there will be a situation in which we let a team like NE hang around or a team like NO jump out to a two score lead.  What will happen then?  History shows that we melt down.  When we manage to overcome that recent history, then we will ascend into the upper echelon of NFL teams.

 

I think this is a different team.  But I won't believe it until I see it.

Pretty much how I feel.  They have to prove it to me first.
